Beholder

The beholder race emerged during the Dawn Era as minions of the primordial lord Beldileck. Possessing limited Powers of Creation, he fashioned them as a mobile, highly vigilant security force unimpeded by the harsh conditions of what was then simply known as Orb 398.

In 8200 DE, numerous beholder factions of Orb 398 rebelled against their creator. A five-year conflict between those loyal to Beldileck and the insurgents culminated in Beldileck's colossal form being petrified by a coordinated effort of numerous beholders. As a highly intelligent species, they swiftly comprehended the utilization of various primordial technologies left in the wake of the Creation War ( 1486 DE - 8777 DE ) . Employing ancient teleportation devices and crafting rifts with null mines, they disseminated their population to other realms.
