Myth has it that the eldritch cosmic horror known as Moloch was once the firstborn son of Athair and Eduna. Beautiful and mighty, he was given a chief portion of all the gifts his brothers and sisters received. His father made him their captain, his lieutenant, and second only to him in power. Discontent with the considerable honor given him as Athair's firstborn, Moloch requested that his father elevate him still further, that he might rule with him as an equal. Athair rebuked his firstborn son for his pride, but forgave him his slight, hoping mercy would teach him humility.
Moloch, however, did not take the reprimand to heart. Rebelling against his father, he manipulated the other gods, setting into motion a chain of events that culminated in the Darkening of Aipana, as he attempted to destroy it out of spite. The other deities banded together and managed to banish Moloch, thought not without great loss. The god Solon gave his corporeal form, and a great deal of his power, to drive Moloch into the void, while Kuria's gentle nature changed to one of wrath after her beloved Pyrhas betrayed her in order to protect himself.
The world has healed slowly since then, though the taint of evil sewn by Moloch has never truly healed, and rumors spread of wretched creatures lurking in the edges of sight, and just into the realm of dreams. Strange monsters lurk in the far north, held back only by the stoic legions of Morcavia.
Moloch's original name, as well as his fair countenance were lost with his defeat, cursed and cast out by his father, his name was erased from memory, and his body became as wretched as his black soul, though neither punishment has lessened his potency. He is understandably hated in all known nations of the world, and his followers are for the most part limited to monsters and eldritch horrors from beyond the realm of known reality. Any who mortal who serves Moloch is at best mad and at worst horrifically evil. His church, the Cult of Sublime Horrors, is hated and feared throughout Aipana.
