Overview

Profile

Ishthal's obsession with order and satisfaction manifest as a desire for unity, to bring everything within the universe under one banner (so long as that banner is his).

He once almost succeeded in this endeavor, leading to The Grey Convergence. However, deities and mortals united to restore balance to the universe, and Ishthal was deposed by Calyus in an event known as The Deposition of Ishthal, making him the only deity to ever be stripped of their domain.

Ishthal's most devoted cultists dress themselves in heavy black chains, the metal pinching and cutting into their skin, the weight leaving dark purple bruises.

Ishthal once sought to tip the balance of the universe, aligning every plane to The Hells so that all might fall under his rule.

Divine Relationships

Ishthal was deposed by a team of deities and mortals, and replaced with Calyus, who had previously served as their treasurer managing the wealth of The Hells.
