Legend of Baphomet

In the ancient times, before Lesrilon truly existed, the war amongst the gods continued eternally in the heavens. All the gods fought, battling endlessly for dominance in the young heavens. In this time, many of the gods realized they needed more soldiers for their war, they needed vassals to command their legions. At the same time, only a few realized what they needed was to corrupt the armies of their opponents.

In this way, Daermon Naschezbaernezzon realized how he must weaken the other gods. He opted to try something against Faona, the great Lady of Nature. The Lord of chaos visited her on her plane, in a form far opposite to that of his natural burning self. He destroyed nothing of hers, not singing a single leaf of a single plant. Instead, he spread beauty across her realm, showering her plants with the ashes of his flames, allowing the plants to grow taller and more beautiful than ever before.

In this way, Faona fell for Daermon, finding beauty in what he was able to create. The plants now grew in magically different ways, each more unique and beautiful than the last. Daermon and Faona mated, as was Daermon’s plan from the onset. From their coupling sprang a monstrous creature, a pure aberration of Faona’s natural side. Their creation was Baphomet, a hideous monster, half animal, half daemon.

Baphomet soon set about ruining Faona’s realm, crushing the many new plants, and crippling her animals. Baphomet set about twisting many of Faona’s creations, making abominations of her pure subjects. Baphomet would soon become Faona’s bane, warping many animals, and plaguing both her realm, and Lesrilon with these beings.
