Hon'palos

For nearly two thousand years of the Creation War (1486 DE - 8777 DE), Hon'palos served as a loyal minion to Storralk. After proving himself in many battles, Storaralk used his power of creation to promote him to a higher form. Hon'palos was changed from being a chichimec into a monstrous abomination worm. Hon'palos was forever bitter with the change, since now that he was grounded, he did not have the same tactical advantage over land-based foes. This led to a falling out between the two with Hon'palos burrowing deep into the Step of Foudation. In the Underdark of this world, he created many progeny - worms of all types, both small and large. One particular lot of primordial sand worms was delivered to Bal-Kriav's desert Sands of Hell. These creatures were so disruptive that they separated a large force of workers from Storralk. These workers were the Knudmid and now that they were free of the whip and their overseers, went into hiding for the rest of the Creation War and actually did everything they could to stay out of sight of both primordials and their angelic adversaries.

One of the most well-known spawns of Hon'palos was the purple worm Krephus. The largest of its kind, its massive size came from living in the Sea of Entropy. Hon'palos sought to use Krephus's many offspring as war chariots and siege engines in the Morte'lumin War (6115 DE - 8066 DE). In this war against Storralk, Krephus's maternal instincts overcame her fear of Hon'palos. She found a way to escape by boring through a rupture in the Web of Magic, following her brood to the world of Bal-Kriav.

When Krephus came out of the rift, five weave spiders were riding her, attacking a threat to The Weave. To Krephus, these must have felt like mosquitoes.

With an insatiable yearning to burrow, Krephus pierced Zythess, digging deep into the subterranean tiers. In her wake she left the bore hole Krephus Sink and a debris field on the surface that became known as the desert Chen'ryon.

With the loss of Krephus's future broods, Hon'palos was defeated by Storralk's forces.

In the Abyssal Release (7777 DE - 8777 DE), Hon'palos joined forces with Demogorgon. Hon'palos intelligence on Storaralk was such that the two were able to track him down in under a month, and defeat him.

Hon'palos left Demogorgon's service after the Abyssal Release. He took the world Savadire as his new domain. It is said that he spends most of his time working on a alchemical solution that can reverse what Storralk did to him. This research and study led to him becoming a master of alchemy, creating new recipes, and writing books that are today found in libraries and labs across the realm.
