Biography
All that the world knows is that an incomprehensible
behemoth has emerged from the depths of the
Atlantic Ocean, moving towards an unknowable
goal with despair, destruction, and madness in its
indifferent wake. If they could draw back the curtain
of time, they might see how in a time long past,
the mages of Atlantis awoke something terrible.
A beast from a nether dimension suddenly saw
a new, vital world and began to break through so
that it could summon its Hul-spawn and lay claim
to the earth. To prevent devastation, the master
mages of Atlantis enacted a terrible plan. Imbuing
relics of power with the collective sacrifice of their
people, they created twelve anchors to forever
hold xxtz’Hulissh in place, then sank their city so
the relics would be forever safe. Perhaps, had they
more time, they could have found a kinder solution.
Perhaps, had they more foresight, they could have
anticipated the curiosity of future civilizations.
Perhaps, had they more fortune, they might have
succeeded in sealing the dread being away forever.
Capabilities and Motivations
With the removal of several of the Atlantean
relics, both by heroes and by researchers
studying Atlantis, the prison has been weakened.
An incomprehensible, unstoppable behemoth,
xxtz’Hulissh has broken free and moves towards an
unknown goal, destroying anything in the way and
sending a wave of horror before it. To fight it is to
be trampled; to look upon it is to court madness.
Upgrades
xxtz’Hulissh’s biology, motives, and potential
weaknesses seem impossible to discern. The
lightless maw where its face should be is a portal to
its realm, from whence it spews forth its spawn. The
horror that accompanies xxtz’Hulissh is enough to
send all but the strongest souls running, and those
that face it directly risk being shoved into the maw
to the dimension where its hungry brood waits.
