I guess I'm gonna post a bits of lore about my ancient cryptid fellas.
So, meet Exerey, a minor diety of ambition, who favors strong-willed individuals and daring deeds. While not inherently evil, he often disrupts peaceful times, lending his aid to all sorts of warmongers, usurpers or plain madmen. His constant scheming has led to downfall of whole civilizations or other equally catastrophic events, so he's pretty much the main antagonist of the setting.
