THE MULTIVERSE’S MISSING IMMORTALS<br />

GROUND<br />

(Killed by a party of high level mortals)<br />

Level, Alignment, Sphere: Empyreal, LN, Matter<br />

Symbol: A black rock<br />

Portfolio: Earth elementals, protection, gravity<br />

Probable His<strong>to</strong>ry: Ground was an immortal<br />

sponsored by <strong>the</strong> Earth Elemaster <strong>to</strong> oppose Terra. A<br />

group of powerful adventurers killed him during an epic<br />

battle in <strong>the</strong> plane of Earth or in some outer plane<br />

aligned with Matter.<br />

Followers' Alignment: Lawful<br />

OURANOS<br />

(Probably killed and absorbed by Qywattz)<br />

Level, Alignment, Sphere: Hierarch, LN, Matter<br />

Symbol: A mountain on a blue field filled with stars<br />

Portfolio: Perseverance, strength, hard will, building,<br />

giants<br />

Probable His<strong>to</strong>ry: Ouranos was <strong>the</strong> oldest immortals<br />

of <strong>the</strong> Sphere Matter and its High Hierarch before<br />

Terra’s ascension. He disappeared before <strong>the</strong> rise of<br />

humans on Mystara, probably during <strong>the</strong> last aeons of <strong>the</strong><br />

Giant Era (a race he created on Mystara after <strong>the</strong><br />

extinction of <strong>the</strong> Carnifex). Some rumours say <strong>the</strong><br />

mysterious Qywattz, crea<strong>to</strong>r of <strong>the</strong> neh-thalggu, trapped<br />

him and <strong>the</strong>n devoured his soul <strong>to</strong> become an immortal<br />

himself.<br />

Followers' alignment: Neutral or Lawful<br />

PAX<br />

(Disappeared with Thalia in<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Dimensional<br />

Vortex)<br />

Level, Alignment, Sphere: Hierarch, NG, Thought<br />

Symbol: A white dove<br />

Portfolio: Peace, <strong>to</strong>lerance, love, forgiveness, light,<br />

good, purity, harmony<br />

Followers' alignment: Lawful or Neutral<br />

Probable His<strong>to</strong>ry: Pax was one of <strong>the</strong> elder immortals<br />

who later became Hierarch of his Sphere after<br />

Gramma<strong>to</strong>n’s disappearance. He was <strong>the</strong> most peaceful<br />

and benign of <strong>the</strong> original immortals, and mortals revered<br />

him as <strong>the</strong> embodiment of good and light. He has a<br />

relationship with Thalia whom he dearly loves. They later<br />

chose <strong>to</strong> abandon <strong>the</strong> Multiverse, seeking a new level of<br />

existence beyond <strong>the</strong> Vortex, just as Gramma<strong>to</strong>n had<br />

done millennia earlier. This left Odin in charge of <strong>the</strong><br />

Sphere of Thought. Some older immortals believe he<br />

returned secretly from <strong>the</strong> Barrier and ascended once<br />

148 <br />

again as Koryis, given <strong>the</strong> great similarity between <strong>the</strong><br />

two characters.<br />

THALIA<br />

(Disappeared with Pax in<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Dimensional<br />

Vortex)<br />

Level, Alignment, Sphere: Eternal, LG, Energy<br />

Symbol: A golden ring<br />

Portfolio: Arts, harmony, beauty, youth<br />

Followers' alignment: Any<br />

Probable His<strong>to</strong>ry: Thalia was one of <strong>the</strong> most ancient<br />

immortals <strong>to</strong>ge<strong>the</strong>r with Ixion, Thana<strong>to</strong>s and Valerias,<br />

and was <strong>the</strong> more lawful of <strong>the</strong> Energy immortals. She<br />

was associated with Pax (ano<strong>the</strong>r hierarch of Thought)<br />

and many mortal pan<strong>the</strong>ons often revered <strong>the</strong> two as a<br />

couple. Her interests lay in harmony, arts and beauty.<br />

One day she decided <strong>to</strong> sponsor a mortal <strong>to</strong> replace her in<br />

<strong>the</strong> Sphere of Energy, and she chose Guidarezzo. In <strong>the</strong><br />

XI century BC, Thalia and her lover Pax voluntarily<br />

decided <strong>to</strong> cross <strong>the</strong> Dimensional Barrier, and <strong>the</strong> two<br />

have never been seen since. Guidarezzo <strong>to</strong>ok up her<br />

portfolio. Some older immortals think she has returned<br />

from <strong>the</strong> Vortex and taken up <strong>the</strong> identity of Alphatia.<br />

URD<br />

(Probably absorbed by Skuld)<br />

Level, Alignment, Sphere: Hierarch, N, Matter<br />

Symbol: A black pit<br />

Portfolio: Past, his<strong>to</strong>ry, fate, memory, birth, wisdom<br />

Followers' alignment: Any<br />

VERTHANDI<br />

(Probably absorbed by Skuld)<br />

Level, Alignment, Sphere: Hierarch, N, Time<br />

Symbol: A half-filled hourglass<br />

Portfolio: Flow of Time, time travel, fate, knowledge,<br />

balance, preserving life<br />

Probable His<strong>to</strong>ry: Urd and Verthandi were <strong>the</strong> two<br />

Norns who oversaw Past and Present respectively. Their<br />

disappearance is still a mystery, since <strong>the</strong>y were among<br />

<strong>the</strong> most ancient <strong>Immortals</strong> of <strong>the</strong> Multiverse. Many<br />

<strong>Immortals</strong> think that Skuld (<strong>the</strong> last of <strong>the</strong> three Norns<br />

still living and <strong>the</strong> one who is granting spells <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

clerics) is <strong>the</strong> only one who knows <strong>the</strong> truth behind <strong>the</strong><br />

facts. Some even speculate that <strong>the</strong>ir disappearance is tied<br />

<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> imminent fate that is awaiting <strong>the</strong> Multiverse,<br />

which will happen once Skuld also fades away.<br />
