Xaphales

The Third Brother
 Death's Cold Embrace 

 The Beast of the Summit 

 Remorseless Winter 

At last, the most powerful of them all, Xaphales. This emerald green brute makes his home atop the mountain. At the time of this writing, Xaphales Peak is the highest known point on Forgotten Isle. Like all the other three, he is subject to immense speculation.

What makes Xaphales immensely terrifying is his Aura of Death. Those who are not protected are likely to be slain once within proximity. Add in the number of Winter Wolves, whose very breath freezes their enemies, Death’s Cold Embrace is very, very near.

Strangely enough, he is the only one of the Brothers to have his own dedicated cult. The Church of Xapahales was established beneath the wintery summit. Whether or not Xaphales cares or even notices the cult, is unknown. Like the rest of the Brothers’ minions, they attack any not of their own flock.

I have managed to eavesdrop on their sermons. Mad, grandiose litanies praise Xaphales’ supremacy over all other beings. They wish for winter to cover the land. In a twist of irony, the territory they control is as temperate as most of Forgotten Island.

The signature of Agaros Xamaroth (Suspicious Activity) appears at the end of this book.
