Some history sh*

Sandgorgon are like no other creatures or beings in the universe. For starters, they were born out of the deserts of Dooms Gyre, their homeworld. Secondly, they are powerful. Beyond powerful. If they want something, nothing yet known can stop them from getting it.They normally eat smaller and weaker creatures, such as the "Sander". Their worst enemy is the so called "Dynasty". Thirdly, they are literally unable to recognize anything that cannot defeat them in single combat as a sentient life form that can be negotiated with, excluding Nom, their leader, who can. Fourthly, they have absolutely no allegiance to anything, or anyone, unless it can defeat them in single combat. And fifthly, they are to be considered a force of nature, random in action, with no motives or purpose. They simply ARE

Sandgorgons were monstrous creatures from the Great Desert of Bthrathairealm. Centuries of living in such extreme heat, sand, and gales left them tremendously powerful, and nearly invincible. In an effort to save the people of Bhrathairain, and earn himself a place of power and authority, Kasreyn of the Gyre entrapped them in the Sandgorgon's Doom. The Doom held until Nom of the Sandgorgons consumed the shredded remnants of a raver, gaining sentience. Since that time, the Sandgorgons have wandered far and wide, learning, and slowly falling to corruption, craving dominance over land and people.

The people of Bthrathairealm were on the edge of extinction when Kasreyn of the Gyre came among them and began seeking ways to slay or entrap the Sandgorgons. Originally Kasreyn sought ways to slay them, forming powerful spells, and more specifically, enchanted weapons to defeat them. But the Sandgorgons proved to be too powerful, even against his warped bestials soldiers, the hustin. After failed attempts to slay the monsters, he sought a way to ensnare or trap them, to this end he formed a great desert storm, a never ending hurricane of sand, gale winds, lightning, and sheer power. He called it the Sandgorgon's Doom, and he placed one small flaw in his work, so that it would endure. The flaw was that anyone who spoke the name of a Sandgorgon would release it, but it would be compelled to slay the speaker. Once the speaker was dead, it was compelled back into the Doom.
