Dark God

The Dark God defiled the Temple of Lathander and sought to obtain the Codex of the Planes fom Acwellan.

Description
The Dark God wore a black tattered robe with a hood. In his humanlike guise, his face looked like that of a regular human (or humanoid) with brown eyes, but in his true form it was sunken and skull-like, with green eyes.

History
Around 1358 DR, the Heroes of Waterdeep were telling their tale of Darkmoon in a tavern, when the Dark God in human form appeared, beseeching them on behalf of his "master" to liberate the city of Myth Drannor from an evil lich called Acwellan. After the heroes accepted the quest, he teleported them to the Burial Glen west of the city. After the heroes defeated Acwellan, the Dark God showed up and stole the Codex of the Planes from him. With the Codex, he opened a portal to a dimension that allowed shadows to spread around the Temple of Lathander and defile it. On the top level of the temple, the heroes confronted the Dark God, who revealed his true form and that he tricked them into weakening Acwellan to acquire the Codex, which would allow him to plague the world with shadows, destroying everyone and everything in their way. However the heroes were able to kill his minions, before destroying the Dark God's physical form, which put his plans to ruin.
