Ogun(God of Earth)

Ogun is one of the first four gods who fathered the rest of the pantheon, though they left the world soon after the second generation was born. Ogun was last to leave, as he was responsible for shaping the world that Ytar had formed, and considered Esai to be his crowning glory. It is for this reason he is often worshipped and admired as the first craftsman and artist, especially by sculptors and architects. He was said to always have a foot touching the ground, never experiencing flight due to a disagreement with Ather(God of Air). Many creatures of Esai were his indirect creations, such as the sandwurms of Brennis. His last act before fleeing to a far corner of the universe was to create the first Duergar, hiding them deep within the earth until the world has settled into a hospitable living environment.

Black dragons were the creation of Ogun as well. They were vicious creatures that were known for their senseless cruelty and sadism. Black dragons did not hunt for glory or food. They hunted solely to revel in the death and pain they caused. This was helped by their ability to exhale a powerful acid that was capable of melting the flesh from its victims in a slow and inevitable descent to death. Even red dragons despised and hunted these creatures. If two dragons were ever seen fighting openly, one of them would almost always be a spawn of Ogun.
