Motasp

Motasp is a celestial who was casted down from the cosmos because she was neutral evil. She does not follow either Law or Chaos but flip flops between the two. She was casted down to Loria and sealed beneath the sands of Nor’hardt’s Desert.

(Yes Motasp the village is named after her)

Sometime in the first era an Asinki explorer found her magical urn. Upon opening 7 Serpents made out of green smoke tendriled out and formed a beautiful women with viper eyes. The Asinki who was floored moved in to greet the celestial, until she unhinged her jaw and consumed the poor soul whole. For thousands of years Motasp tore across the planet with her demonic snake spawn, and he form of a giant flying serpent dragon. Many of the Asinki, being a reptile race adopted her as a deity, which like all celestials her power increased due to being worshiped. They caused her to spare the Asinki, until she was starting to be worshiped by humans and the other noble races as well in cults. She then indiscriminately would steal the souls of worshipers and use them to forge her Motasp Serpent Spear, when a celestial does stuff like this the souls are plucked out of the cycle, and become trapped in the weapon. Within 5000 years 10,000 souls have been removed from the cycle (which is a celestial crime) and 100,000,000 lives were lost due to Motasp’s rampage across the land. It got so bad that not a single humanoid lived in the Nor’hardt Desert where Motasp often settled and was all accompanied to the point that as soon as someone stepped into the sand vipers emerged and poisoned the person. The edge of the desert was scattered with mounds and mounds of adventurer corpses who thought they could brave the desert.

The reason this was the epicenter of Motasps reign, was that it was the place where she was imprisoned and released, so is the only place she can be defeated. It wasn’t for a couple thousand other years until a united force of Fawls and Asinki invaded the desert and managed to trap Motasp back into her urn. They locked her in a tomb 1000ft under the sands. Motasp has worked her way into the culture of Nor’hardt and light echoes still be found in the fawl’s oral history.

Over the millennium many heroes have tried to find the tomb, and one who was traveling with a magi actually stumbled upon it. The Magi duty bound killed the hero and took the urn to rehide. He was smart enough to lock her up as followed.
