BRYNTRYST

General
No one can say with any degree of honesty that they know of The Ettin's
origins, nor can any say exactly how long it has been it has dwelled among
the heavens watching down upon Aabahran.  But what can be said about the Lord
of Chaos is an unrelenting dedication to nothing and an unwavering
allegiance to all.  Appearing in many forms ranging from a sickening cloud
of foul air to its preferred form, an immense two-headed giant, an audience
with it can lead to either doom or salvation, depending on little more than
the time of day.  It's fancy changes by the moment, a wrathful, angry beast
one moment, and a jovial spirit the next, to decipher it is a task without
possibility of success.
  
With the sudden departure of the Lord of Discord, Bryntryst found that it alone 
possessed the knowledge of Chaos and of the Nexus to bridge the gap between the 
planes and give birth to the children of Discord, Demons.  It was with the 
creation of its infernal army, that it began to entrench its fingers into the 
world of men, influencing them from afar to further its own goals.
  
It was only shortly before the Third Age of Aabahran that the Angel of the
Balance, Avariel was seduced and misled by Nefar and  received the Black
Looking Glass as a gift.  Using this Looking Glass, Avariel was decieved
into believing the mortal world had forgotten her and her charge.  It was
then that she began her descent into Chaos.  When Avariel struck down her
mortal voice, Keene, Bryntryst came unto her, and surrendered the throne
of Chaos, taking the Balance as his own to protect mortals and Immortals
alike.
  
Upon accepting its powers, The Ettin was transformed by its power, and
each of it's two heads became a separate, sentient being of opposing morals
and abilities.  Though they speak and act separately, they think in tandem,
with a single consciousness between them both.  There have been many who
have sought to define the twin beings, and understand how one mind can exist
in such a dichotomy, but to no avail.  Its is a dual nature, each of it's
personas possessing a personality of its own.  Crude and crass, compassionate
and kind,  but this is but the beginning of it's demeanor.  It claims
servitude to none but the Balance and those who understand it's importance.
