Mythos and History

 

Kyger Litor is one of the old Dark Deities, but one whose importance was not possible until the creation of the Man-rune. From the vague and unknown spirits of the Old Dark she stepped forth to mate with the Man Rune for her mistress, Subere, also called Hell Darkness. There, in the lightless world, the Men of Darkness were made, and so was spawned the race of Trolls.

The troll races first lived within the bowels of the Underworld, and it was a satisfying though primitive life for them. Kyger Litor walked freely among all living trolls, and she founded many houses of noble trolls to rule over the lesser breed. These ancient beings are called the Mistress Race Trolls.

When Yelm the Sun god came to Hell after being killed, Kyger Litor was among those Darkness deities who fought against him. Like the others Kyger Litor was defeated, and so Yelm earned his place as a God of the Dead. But the bright death was too much for the dark troll races to bear, and they fled in fear and anger from their birthplace. Kyger Litor led them by secret ways to the surface world where Night already hid, and so began the Great Darkness. Trolls and their Dark God allies fought against the forces of the Surface World, where all was already well-disintegrated in the Gods War. Many spirits were killed trying to fight the exiled trolls, who still were very powerful.

The trolls ruled much of the surface world during the Great Darkness, but they also bore the brunt of the fighting against the things of chaos which swarmed upon the world with the Devil. Islands of life clung precariously to their questionable existence through the War Against Chaos, and were often led by Trolls and their gods. Of those gods Kyger Litor was the most popular.
