I was doing some research which lead me to some
ancient brethren of oerth. The flan seemed to corner the market on such
supernatural beings. Mok'slyk the Serpent, comes to mind. Many see him as a
demonic creature of unknown origin. History tells us, he gifted arcane magic to
the Ur-Flan people. I'd say to the flan people in general--though many people
would dispute that with me...
The Flan were a very pagan-like people who worshiped the old faith. Nowadays the old faith only mentions gods. Who's to
say the old faith did not include creatures like Mok'slyk as part of the flan
pantheon. The sibilant beast had a stranglehold among the flan. When the
migrating oerid's starting conquering the flan people--he turned his attention
to the oerid's. Lord Kargoth comes to
mind, his dealings with Demogorgon affected him for eternity and those that
served under his banner. It seems demons were very much accepted by the flan
people.
Which stands
to reason how the Horned Society came to fruition. The demonic influence over
the flan people would of put the devils at a disadvantage in the blood war. Hence
their need to influence the dominant mortal race's on oerth. While the Horned
society itself was officially established in 513 CY, it is rumored that the
horned society originated as a druidic order that preyed upon the flan people.
This also helps explain why Iuz forces would invade the lands held by the
Horned Society. Though rumors persist that the Horned Society exists as it once
did. As whispered threats against society as we know it.
All this is food for thought. Though if it were up
to you who would be included among the Ancient Brethren of Oerth?
