Xalgaze Fangwall

The Realm of Uncreation is something even the gods fear and misunderstand. Coterminous with Anathraad and the Halls of Eternity, and seen by Telerians as the night sky, Uncreation is mindless, primal, maddening, and limitless. Siroth, for all his power, fears what could happen if Uncreation encroached upon his realm. To watch and safeguard the border between Anathraad and Uncreation, Siroth has developed powerful guardians, of which Xalgaze is archetypal. Xalgaze is a ferocious guard dog, given only enough cleverness to execute his duties. Speechless save for guttural growls, he patrols the ever-shifting boundaries of Anathraad to ensure that Uncreation is held in check – and to deal with any wandering residents of Anathraad who have been ‘touched’ by Uncreation and changed into something much more dangerous. Xalgaze himself is infused with the smallest motes of Uncreation’s power, carefully siphoned off by Siroth – despite the Shadow God’s fear of Uncreation, his innate, inviolable need to tinker and create has overpowered it. This makes Xalgaze uncanny and repulsive even to Demons, who instantly sense the otherworldly un-reality about him. Similar to the rare, terrible beings shaped by Uncreation that dwell within Teleria, his mere presence can drive weak minds to madness. Rumors among the denizens of Anathraad say Siroth has dispatched Xalgaze through portals to Teleria on a series of covert missions, or plans to. They whisper that Xalgaze was to be Siroth’s assassin, striking against enigmatic foes – ‘the many-headed,’ ‘the patchwork abomination,’ and even the Demon Lord, Siroth’s errant servant.
