Oshiruk
From EQ KnowledgePit
Oshiruk is a god from another reality who consumed other deities to increase his power. He is heavily influenced by discord. This was confirmed as official lore by Rytan.[1].
He is only known to have existed on Kuua, though potentially we will encounter other worlds where his influence can be seen. He was defeated by Vesagran.
[edit] The coming of Oshiruk
The following is paraphrased text from the Bard epic 2.0 quest.
Millennia ago at the height of the Dragorn empire, a dark portal opened to the north. Not far from the halls of Anguish. The Dragorn soon found themselves under siege from a dark army. While they were surprised by their initial appearance, the Dragorn are not weak and were able to fight them back to the portal itself after years of war. Ten years to the day after the opening of the portal, mere days before they would have been able to destroy the portal, Oshiruk first set foot on Kuua. Oshiruk was rumored to be a dark deity from a reality overcome with discord long ago and that he had come to power by consuming the other deities of his pantheon. He brought a wave of destruction across Kuua, killing any and all dragorn kin that were sent against his armies.
Eventually the armies of Oshiruk stood at the gates of Dranik. The hordes of demonic creatures clawed at the gates as we prepared our final defenses, fully expecting to meet our final demise. But the Dragorn were not destined to fall that day. The priests of Vesagran stood stalwart at the gates of our city and that day our god answered us. A great cry was heard and great crystalline wings flapped across the city blowing up an enormous cloud of dust. The titans clashed and ultimately Oshiruk fell that day before the fury of the crystalline dragon. As he struck the ground, Oshiruk's body was consumed in darkness.
Dark tentacles lashed out around the corpse and struck the dragon, sending ripples of dark energy across her crystal scales. When the tentacles finally died away, all that was left of the mighty Oshiruk was his infamous dark armor. The chestplate held a black orb that crackled with dark lightning. The dragon reached forward and tore the orb from the chestplate, causing a cataclysmic backlash of evil energy. She collapsed to the ground, overcome by the dark energy. The priests of Vesagran were able to protect her from the remnants of Oshiruk's army, but were not able to keep them from taking the black armor back through the portal to discord. But Vesagran held the orb, and with it the spirit of Oshiruk. The orb and Vesagran have never been seen again until today. How it might be destroyed I don't know, but should the armor ever be reunited with the orb Oshiruk would surely return and destroy us all.
