Bahzrym

Bahzrym is a lesser titan attested in various religions and traditions, especially Mondism. He awakened at the outset of the Titan Wars, and holds sway over the vice of sloth. Bahzrym historically has set himself apart from the rest of his own pantheon by his refusal to join in the Titan War waged against the gods of the Mondish pantheon.

Like the rest of the titans, Bahzrym was angered by his awakening from his deep slumber. But whereas the other titans joined together in the Titan War, Bahzrym instead determined to return to his deep slumber, far removed from the commotion of the Titan War.

It is said that Bahzrym, seeking to find solitude and silence in which to rest, cleaved the continent of Timoraunos away far from the mainland and dragged it towards the arctic northeastern seas where he thought no one would want to search for him. He erected a range of volcanos above the surface, and a network of crypts carved deeply beneath the earth. Additionally he raised a host of golems to guard his slumber hidden in the subterranean crypts.

The golems maintained their quiet vigil until well after The Titan War had already drawn to its end, when it was discovered by members of the Mondish Pantheon, who determined amongst itself what to do with the sleeping titan. At first the Mondish gods moved to cast away Bahzrym in the same manner as they did the other titans, but after they noticed that Bahzrym never took part in the war, they realized the titan posed no eminent threat to the new divine order of the world, and so agreed to allow him to continue his slumber without interruption on their part.

To ensure the preservation of this slumber, the gods re-purposed the golems into a new race of dwarves, charged solely to protect the continent of Timoraunos as before only now in service of the gods. It was at this point that historical records of Timoraunos were erased until a ship that launched from Delver was caught in a storm and crashed onto the island.

The Bitter Truth, a simple Delverite trading vessel captained by Rodyon Juulinyk crashed landed in Timoraunos after being carried far off course in the midst of a fierce storm. Juulinyk attempted to send for help with messenger birds, but he and his crew were never recovered. However a description of where to find the continent led to a series of expedtions into Timouranos that, in spite of the latent effects of the continent and the resistance of the indigenous Dwarven clans, resulted in the rediscovery of The Sleeping Titan. This discovery would result in a series of events leading up to 1st Timoraunian War

The 1st Timoraunian War was conducted by a coalition of Negalifalian and Titanic cults against the native Dwarven guards who sought to preserve Bahzrym's Sleep. The Coalition was formed in the belief that if Bahzrym were to reawaken it would reignite the Titan War and create enough chaos to free the dragon, Negalifal. The Coalition succeeded in forcing their way to the titan's temple and completing a ritual to awaken the titan. However in reawakening the titan they also brought about his wrath.

Bahzrym lashed out at both the cultists, the dwarves and the landscape, shattering the armies of both sides and cracking the very continent itself into a series of small islands off the coast of the remaining continent. Reinforcements from Delver arrived to find that the surviving titanic cultists had abandoned efforts to reawaken the god, and instead had begun battling the Negalifalian cultists on site.

The resulting series of skirmishes began the 2nd Timoraunian War, a three way proxy war between Negalifalian cultists, Bahzrymite cultists, and Dwarves, but so far have not resulted in further interruptions of Bahzrym's slumber. To date it is still believed that Bahzrym lies dormant beneath Timoraunos.
