About[edit | edit source]
After the Ruby Dragon Sardior was shattered and killed, what remained of their body was left adrift in the Astral Plane. As the dragon died, the River Styx erupted forth from his heart and went on to flow through all of the planes. For countless centuries afterwards, the River Styx would contnue to flow from this point. But only a creature wielding the Book of the Dead, such as the book's first owner, Charon, or someone who knew Sardior in life, could find the Ruby Headwaters as it was magically protected by the waters of the Styx.
In some corners of the headwaters thrive massive parasites that feed on the rotting ruby flesh of Sardior, though the Styx itself prevents them from reaching Sardior's heart.
The River Styx Dries Up[edit | edit source]
In 925 PR, the River Styx was dried up after the death of Charon and the use of his oar by the giant cultists of the Ordained who used the oar to stem the river's flow. After the river dried up, the parasites inhabiting the headwaters spread across its entirety and grew to monstrous sizes.
In 926 PR the adventuring team known as the Hellraisers traveled to the Ruby Headwaters with the intention of recreating the Styx. For this end, they summoned the warmongering archangel Gabriel whose blood they needed for the ritual. After defeating Gabriel and driving away the dragon Barroth the Unredeemable, the party bound Gabriel within the heart of Sardior. From here, the hero Aliria Servine created an artifact called the Sword of Mortem and used it to impale Gabriel and turn him into the new source point for her Passage of Souls, the replacement for the River Styx.
