Kerath is an offspring of a primordial lord known as
Baltalas. During the
Hoof Front
(
215 GE
-
230 GE
)
,
Orcus
found a way to transport
Kerath from his home world
Muspelheim
to the
war-torn realm of
Bal-Kriav. Unable to
control the primordial terror, Kerath violently escaped from
Ghak, Orcus's battlefront
capital, rampaging through the demon lines and then into the
Covenant forces. Lured into a trap set by
Bahamut
and
Geb, Kerath was ensnared in a spinning
vortex of stone. Solidified and then vented, Kerath was bound
by
Kerath Anchors,
and a volcano formed around the Chained Lord. Named
Sken Drog, the
eruptions and steam rising from this mountain reflect the
brooding anger of its imprisoned captive.
