Hettar

Hettar

Hettar is a primordial creation of Piranoth. For a time, Hettar had the gift of creation. This boon was given to him by his father. One of the races that Hettar created are the hill giants. Piranoth later stripped Hettar of this power of creation after he sensed that Hettar had aspirations of becoming a Primordial Lord. Hettar would eventually become such, but only after proving his leadership on the fields of battle.

In the Dawn War, Hettar was a general of a super army group that invaded Bal-Kriav. He was a brutal and domineering leader. This war caused him to shift from chaotic neutral to chaotic evil. His success on the field of battle, even though he was becoming more dark, led to him being favored over the neutral ways of his brother Geb. Where Hettar would use any measure to defeat the enemy, Geb was more forgiving, thus more likely to act civilized to the defeated. Hettar's war activities were focused in the Great Expanse region. In sector Crotheise he had a permanent base in the Radveig valley. This area was a vast source of gold deposits. This gold was needed to cover the costs of Hettar's war operations on Bal-Kriav. The heavy mining of the area would leave the valley pockmarked with mining pits that came to be called Hettar's Spittoons.

Hettar was defeated by the dragon Bahamut. In the battle between these two, Bahamut drank the blood of a previously defeated primordial which combined parts of a hydra with that of medusa. The blood of the defeated foe allowed Bahamut to temporarily change his breath to one of holy petrification. Bahamut's holy breath of petrification overcame the immunities of Hettar, causing him to go rigid and fall backwards into Rumak. Even though he was petrified he did not lose conscious or die. His primordial essence took thousands of years to completely drain away, with him finally expiring late in the Horgon Era.

In the Horgon Era, he was worshiped by the Cûngin-Zar. The people of this empire dedicated many shrines and temples around Rumak to a figure that once led their ancestors in the battles of the Dawn War.
