Lore

Ghozoth is one of the last of his kind, as far as he is aware. Aside of his two female consorts, named Kipa and Kula, Ghozoth is the only Thenzaagl left on the mortal plane. His race had once occupied much of Imarel, during the Age of Twilight, having served the Chaotic Old Gods as mighty siege monsters against the Gods of Law. By the end of the War of Twilight, only mighty Ghozoth and his consorts remained. Disgusted, he retreated into the deepest point in the sea and hid from the world, content to remain there so long as he was undisturbed. Millions of years later and more than one unfortunate deep sea explorer later, the 700 foot long, 165 ton two-headed turtle still lingers in his dozing slumber, some say for the day where he will take his vengeance on all the gods.

Ghozoth is primarily worshiped by Albadosians who otherwise find distaste with the other deities of Imarel. Especially popular amongst seafarers of the region, Ghozoth is generally considered a largely indifferent deity, though he does hear and grant prayers to those who pray quietly and without great demand. It's a custom amongst Albadosian males looking to prove their worth to dive as far into the Deep, where he lingers, as they can get to retrieve some of the seaweed from his shell. Sometimes they are successful. Most of the time however, divers do not return.
