Anzu

Content Author: Coalsack Anzu, an avian deity, who escaped from his former world, after getting in a feud with the major gods in his realm, whose powers diminished in his travel to Mareth. He will be found in the Glacial Rift if the Champion is above level 16. Even being a deity, he has no interest in the Marae-Lethice war. Pretty selfish, like most non-benevolent deities, will only care about his personal interests or the ones that he really appreciates.

The portal left Anzu in the Glacial Rift when he hurriedly searched for a place to establish himself. Before reaching Mareth he learnt of the state of war between the goddess Marae and Lethice, queen of the demons. Seeing how his arrival place was far from the most inhabited zones, he wandered in the rift until he found a huge palace inhabited by valkyries. They, confusing him with a new kind of giant by his size, attacked him instantly. Anzu defeated them easily, and after clearing the area from giants and valkyries, took the palace as his new home.

Fifteen years after his arrival, a certain Champion decided to wander in the rift and eventually found his palace...
