Thaygar

Thaygar was one of the Lesser Gods of the 2x era of TFC. He led The Ebon Hand, an evil order based on The Triat. The core concept of The Triat was that of three entities or forces of nature: The Weaver, The Wyrm, and The Wyld. Most within the following aligned themselves with one of the three Aspects of the Triat, with the majority of them taking the Wyld's path.

Thaygar rose to Ambassador, DemiGod, Lesser God, and God, then Retired. He came back as a Lesser God for a time, then re-retired.

Character History:

As a mortal Giant, he quested for the and of his beloved Siren, and it was said that the quest's difficulty drove him quite insane. He was known for his odd sense of the dramatic and unusual.

Jerald told the following story about Thaygar: (With apologies for the Jeraldspeak)
"'When we were young an' th' world was new..." Jerald said. " Tel an' I served th' Demigod, Splat. Tel was his Paladin, an' I was his High Priest. Tel's companion in all adventures in those days was th' Giant warrior, Thaygar. Thaygar served nae master, an' save for Tel an' maeself he spoke little. His mind was set on one goal, an' one goal only... for ye see, his heart hae been taken an' he was smitten w' th' Silver Lady. Unfortunately, shortly before mae birth th' Lady was corrupted by gods o'darkness an' became Siren, th' Mistress o' th' Dark Mist. This would prove th' seed o' woe tha' would sprout many o' th' present worlds-troubles. "Tel an' Thaygar journeyed together, Tel w' a mind merely t' th' next adventure an' th' service o' his laird. Often Tel would aid mae quest t' help th' new w' items but in time, they both began t' reach th' pinnacles o' power, an' Thaygar declared he wished t' wed Siren. "A Mortal declaring such was unheard o', for in those days only one wedding...tha' o' Crowbar an' Estrelle, hae occurred, an' Maurice * was wrath t' hear this, for in his heart he harbored a secret desire for th' still beautiful lady. Aye, this was in th' days ere th' fall o' Thalos, so a mighty quest, in three parts, was given. But th' quest itself is another tale, one long an' nae t' be told w' this. A' th' end he was truly a god, but he was also quite evil an' quite mad. His faith was th' Ebon Hand, after th' hand blackened by th' demon a' th' end o' his quest An so began a reign o' darkness tha' echoes still t'day…."
