Bingatho

Bingatho

Bingatho is one of the moons orbiting Marragh. It is a small habitable world, being only 1/20th the size of its parent. Bingatho is covered in jungles. It is a rainy, stormy place dotted with massive swamps and lakes and some few ridges and hilly ranges. Some of the more common things to encounter here are hydras, basilisk, displacer beasts, leucrotta, and similar terrors. The world is devoid of humanoid lifeforms, except possibly adventurers or those marooned here.

At the core of this moon is a trapped God of Creation. This being is who the moon is named after. Bingatho was a Tier 1 Creationist that worked with the same purpose of Io and others on the side of Law. They drew entropic energy from the Elemental Chaos and used it to create planes, worlds, and everything that goes in them. While Bingatho was creating Marragh's moon Githo, he was struck by psionic energy from within one of his conduits of creation. The psionic blast was so powerful that it made Bingatho lose his wits. Instead of making Githo diverse, he turned the entire moon into iron. On investigation, Io and Moradin found Bingatho to be insane and growing ever more chaotic. Bingatho followed the dictates of the Creationist Board of Inquiry and accepted imprisonment until a cure could be found for his mind and chaotic taint. Moradin and Io worked in concert building a moon, his prison, around Bingatho. They never found a cure but his chaotic taint did stop progressing once the moon bound him to its core. The mind blast that brain scrambled Bingatho came from a powerful psionic primordial named Nakh-Zennîm. Like other primordials, this being was intent on unmaking works of creation and returning it all to the Elemental Chaos.

In the Dawn War, the Anaz Rift was created by the primordial Beldileck. He did not use the rift as his skills were more suited for research and tinkering. It was instead used by Bryakus to invade Bal-Kriav from the area of Felbarum. The Anaz Rift is still open; serving as an inter-planar link between the world Bal-Kriav and this moon. The imprisoned Creationist serving as moon's core still carries on his works of creation. Bingatho no longer has the powers of a Tier 1 Creationist with his power having naturally degraded to that of a Tier 4 Creationist. The Anaz Rift gave him an avenue of spreading his creations to the world Bal-Kriav affecting areas like Goldarah and Turuk.
