Call of the Netherdeep, an Odyssey
Mitch Kaye for Alyxian the Apotheon
Alyxian is both the primary Mcguffin and the primary antagonist of the Call of the Netherdeep Module and thus, the primary focus of Act 1 of our campaign. He is a champion of the Calamity who was trapped in a pocket dimension at the end of the war and has been isolated and driven insane by the darkness.

“I have prayed for freedom. I have begged for release. I have screamed to an uncaring world and the impassive heavens for salvation. Yet even here, with you before me, I am denied! No more waiting. I will claim everything I have waited these long centuries for, and you will be the ones the world forgot.”
