About/Chronicle of Delleth
Obscure Knowledge / Near-Impossible Difficulty
The origins of the Essence of of this divine being are shrouded in history before recorded time. Delleth is thought to be a proto-human, of a Higher Order through sheer self-will and achievement. Those who record such things mark its appearance as the god Delleb of Oerth. His material body was destroyed by the Unholy Trio of Oerth, and his Essence transported through space and time – given birth into the vessel that would become Odin. Once it was done with that age of gods, it once again moved himself through space and time, re-manifesting as Delleth, Guide to the Seekers (of the Steel Realms), in order to work with the Celestine entities of Egypt that had fled to Helca, and their plan to elevate its inhabitants. This ‘god’ is a singular strange entity known to rival and have many of the properties of the Great God manifestations of one of the Greate Ones.

Rites of the Faith
Rite of Endless Voices Rite of Eternal Rebirth (Wild Rite)When Djerduth was the death “god”, it personified all aspects of death, with purpose. The unreasoning worm Mog Creoch is much easier to trade for power, and the “followers” of it are rarely more than those seeking personal power from a source that generally could care less the type of individual that serves them, as long as the outcome is headless bodies, sundered corpses, spilled blood, the smell of rotting flesh and food for worms. These things are pleasing to it.
