Avaloth

Avaloth is a fiendish being with revolting habits, treated of at some length by the fifth of the Eltdown Shards. [RFS Warder]

Avaloth is not easily discernible. In Elder Times, Avaloth plagued the earth with a strange growth of ice and snow that crept southward, swallowing up the forests and the mountains. The wizard Om Oris pitted dark magic against Avaloth. The outcome of the contest is not known, but the ice fields began to dwindle and finally vanished. Wizards of that day maintained that Avaloth could only be destroyed by a great heat, such as could not be created at that time, although certain of the wizards foresaw that one day it should be. It appears that Avaloth was sealed in a small casket in ancient times. When Wesson Clark opened the casket, the invisible Avaloth absorbed all the warmth from the room and crushed Clark, sucking all the blood out of his veins. Meanwhile, an accidental fire burned the house down. There was a high-pitched, agonized whistling sound, evidently because Avaloth was trapped by the flames. It is not clear whether Avaloth survived long enough to escape when the upper floors collapsed. [RFS Casket]
