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.
