Lit Cult Encounters and Supernatural Encounters (even more new Legends material!)

I collected a bunch of these up.

"…Honor the omnipotence of Izax, the Ultimate Devourer: father, ruler, and bringer of death to us all. His forms are infinite, but his great glory flies on serpent wings…"
―”The Veneration of Izax”

Izax, the Ultimate Devourer

"…Walk the path with Scyva, the Constant Companion. Wife of divine Izax and avatar of sorrow, she weeps beside those who gladly march to embrace the Ultimate Devourer…"
―"The Grieving of Scyva”

Scyva, the Constant Companion, wife to Ivax, the Mother of Sorrows

“...Storm the battlefield with Tyth, god of rage. The Firstborn of Izax and Scyva leads us to victory against the profane outlanders. Raise your bloodied fist and cry triumph…"
―"The Awe of Tyth”

Tyth, the Firstborn, God of Rage

"…Burn all doubt in the fires of Aivela, our goddess of passion. The Favored Daughter stands beside her brother Tyth on every battlefield, radiating grace to the fearless…"
―"The Proclamation of Aivela”

The Goddess of Passion, the favoured daughter, twin to Esne

"…Beware the shadows of Esne, goddess of envy and twin of Aivela. Forever eclipsed by her sister's incandescence, she will use her venomous tongue to test the faithful and cull the weak…"
―"The Admonition of Esne”

The Goddess of Jealousy, twin to Aivela

"…Bear a single torch for Nahut, the Hated Son. Gray, formless and cold, he is denied by all but the Mother of Sorrows. Do not follow him into the dark. Light the way to lead him home…"
―"The Lamentation of Nahut”

Nahut, the hated son, God of Darkness, Son of Shadows

Zildrog, the serpent God, is a predecessor deity, but also an aspect of Izax. Their religion also included a Demon Savior who would overthrow the pantheon, which Valkorion claimed the title of - while also describing himself as the Dragon of Zakuul.

The Old Republic game.

They’re the Gods of Zakuul. They even have a Valley they were buried in, like the Sith, but on Iokath.

Machine Sith, would be the words; it’s the Valley of the Machine Kings.

I have been preparing to update and edit the Wookieepedia but here ye go.

Spoiler

The Old Gods were the original pantheon of the planet Zakuul, consisting of six primary gods.

Izax, the Ultimate Devourer, was the chief deity of the pantheon, while the other members were his wife, Scyva, and their four children: Tyth, Aivela, Esne, and Nahut. The demon serpent Zildrog was another entity worshiped by the Old Ways, though Zildrog was often considered simply an aspect of Izax. Valkorion claimed to be the Demon Savior of prophecy, one who would topple the Old Gods and usher in a new era of prosperity, and worship of the Old Gods was mostly abandoned by his Eternal Empire.

The Heralds of Zildrog still followed the old ways but were considered more of a cult. They were co-opted by SCORPIO, in her guise as the Lady of Sorrows. The SCORPIO unit was a successor to the GEMINI units which were at the core of the Eternal Fleet control mechanism. The Heralds came into conflict with the Outlander, who was seeking SCORPIO as an ally, but matters settled thereafter.

However, the Old Gods origins, it was revealed, originated on the home world of the Eternal Fleet - Iokath. They were the Machine Gods which destroyed their creators, and were driven into slumber when the Gravestone defeated the Eternal Fleet over Zakuul.

It’s not complete, but similarly, if I finish it, it takes you right up to May 3rd in terms of game spoilers but you get the gist.

Similarly interestingly, however, is that the Sith ritual on Ziost birthed Monoliths, near Invincible Sithspawn.

Just as much, two Killik hives on Alderaan had Night Heralds in this era. The Night Herald is exclusively associated with Gorog and Old One aligned Nests. The Dawn Herald, however, was the Herald of Oroboro on Alderaan; a One associated hive(?)

Bloody interesting.

If anyone tried to argue with me that Vitiate was not an Old One avatar, I’d be impressed as to how they weren’t seeing the Omen-eyes on birth, the insanely powerful child, the slow acquisition of devastatingly incredible power, the galaxy turning fate, coupled with the steady increase in eldritch and Old One activity during his lifetime, let alone the preponderance of activity within the spiritual realm, to the point that the traditional rules of life and death were broken by Revan, Vitiate, and even Marr...

One does wonder if Hethrir was acting on Vader’s orders when he performs the ritual which yanks Waru from Otherspace and traps him - it feels like a trap of some kind, being as the crystal star crippled Waru...

Ruur is a Dark Nest and Rur is the name that the leader of the Terrible Glare took. Curious, no?

I suspect Cronal already knew a great deal he was not letting on, being as he was from Rhand, which originally included three Old cults...

... but I also suspect that to master the Old you needed knowledge found within the Known and Unknown.

There’s some definite correlation here. Sidious would never have accepted a place beneath the Old Ones. He would have sought to enslave one, seize one, control one. If the Stormtroopers recorded any of their confrontations with the Cult of Five or the Bedlam Spirits, Sidious has a great deal of information.

That’s adding that Sidious had stored some of the tech that Ravik used during his brief tryst with the Charon... and someone, @Thrawn McEwok, I recall, posited that the Moff Sarne of the Kathol Sector had been sent there by Palpatine, considering his original posting within the 15th Deep Core Reserve Fleet.

Add in that Tyranus was last seen with the Dark Holocron, and that Sidious likely now has it...

... and of course the simple fact that Sidious has one of the three people who knows what happened on Mortis in his employ now; Darth Vader.

Was Sidious about to make his move on Otherspace?

I was thinking more of a live feed, where Palpatine had forces chase the Rebels into these dangers, actually. Manipulating them into threats he had yet to quell. Using the enemy to kill another enemy.

The Son is not Sith, if Father’s condemnation of them is anything.

‘More than just Sith,’ argued Abeloth. Son could be very much that.

He likely has the Dark Holocron... he would want to look out for threats to his ‘thousand year’ rule.

@E. L.Knight, @Darth_wanderguard...

... the Lit forums combined thoughts on the Old Ones.

I was terrified when Mara referred to Abeloth as an ‘old one’ in Abyss, but then in Apocalypse she calls Abeloth an Old One! Complete with Capital O’s!!!

*swoons*
