The Gods of Delgon

A letter from Arlon:

The following letter was sent by one of the few of the Emperor’s spies who was successfully working within Delgon. It was accompanied by a lengthy report covering details of the Delgon military. No news has been heard of Arlon? since this letter reached the Empire.

My Lord, There are many rumours and tales of the so-called Delgon gods, but much of it is hard to separate from myth, particularly with their claims that these ″Belog″ (as our Royal Engineers refer to them) are actually the Enarii from our ancient tales. It seems known throughout Delgon that there were seventeen who came to Delgon all those years ago. Several of these Belog are now leading the ″Retribution″ attacks against our lands, while others appear to be choosing to lead a less violent life. The Belog known as Garabon has been their leader since before their arrival. He has set up his home in the capital city of Peygarl. He spends most of his time within his palaces, but has addressed the Delgon through his attendant NuraGan Largos on a number of occasions. I have only heard tell of four of the Enarii directly leading the military to date: Tales of Jamor describe him as the largest of the Enarii and he has taken the role of General for the Delgon armies. Under his leadership the forces have grown to a level that we had never predicted. The only occasions that he has been reported as taking to the battlefield have been devastating, both in terms of his presence and the size of the forces that accompany him. Dehran has been reported commanding several of Jamor’s forces on the front lines and personally overseeing many of the Retribution attacks to the West of Delgon. Roban is a mighty warrior, driven by his hatred of the devanu and leading great hunts to eradicate the demons from all Anyaral. We have heard many reports of his hunts beyond the Delgon borders over the last years. I gather that Malog was once a peaceful Belog who spent his time in the libraries of Peygarl, but suffered a violent attack at the hands of a pack of devanu. He was crippled, but through the ingenuity of the Delgon engineers he now strides through the halls of his home in Gan on powerful artificial legs. He is now the patron of all Delgon engineers and at his command the Delgon armies have been augmented with many inventions, not least of which are the KalMalog. The other Enarii seem less directly involved in the attacks against the Empire, but I am unsure if this will change. Egolan has embraced his godhood, living a decadent life in the city of Deris, waited on by hordes of priests who ensure his every whim is met. Eldeyn has set up his home in a small city to the south of Delgon, growing ornate gardens in spite of the cold weather and long winters. Aaral the Wanderer chose a life of study, fascinated by all parts of Anyaral that he read about in books. He went against Garabon’s orders and set out to explore the rest of the continent, but he ventured into the depths of the Naralon forests and has never been heard of again. Only one other Belog has been reported to have left the lands of Delgon for a prolonged period. Alaim, the Outcast, had a mighty argument with Garabon and left Delgon on his own. I have previously heard rumours of a giant who has been seen across Anyaral, most recently I heard tales of a giant that now runs amidst the Ferals who shepherd the great migrations. I can only assume that this is Alaim. I shall seek to continue my mission, but it is proving ever more difficult to evade notice. The unwavering loyalty of the Delgon to their gods is a terrifying prospect but I trust that the Emperor has a plan and that my report shall prove useful.
