Adventure by Tim Hitchcock
New Fiction by Elaine Cunningham
hen dragons and genies did battle and the
people hid in fear of Rovagug’s hordes,
their prayers went to Sarenrae, goddess
of light, compassion, and healing. A
thousand times, the Dawnflower bound
their wounds and gave them courage.
But, after a thousand and one answers
to the wounded and the dying, Sarenrae ignored their pleas.
Instead, the Dawnflower spoke to the other gods. “Rovagug sinks
entire lands and buries cities. No healing can help the dead, and we
owe no compassion to the Rough Beast and his endless slaughter. I
have a plan.”
With her sword of light, Sarenrae cut a shining hole in the world,
in a distant region of the Windswept Wastes where even the
genies wandered friendless and alone. To that place, the archdevil
Asmodeus lured the god of destruction and wrath, promising greater
power, greater chaos, and an end to all things.
Asmodeus said, “Behold, a hole in the world. If you examine
it, you may learn how the world was unmade here, and then you
may unmake it yourself.” Rovagug reached forward with worm-
like limbs and sightless eyes; his million teeth picked at the ragged
edge of the hole.
Sarenrae pushed Rovagug through the hole with the help of the
other gods, for none of them alone could hold the beast for long.
Asmodeus sealed the rift of light with a key of darkness that only he
could hold, and thus was made the Pit of Gormuz.
The gods celebrated their victory over the ravening madness
that might have destroyed creation, but Rovagug yet lived. It is said
that the Prince of Hell, Asmodeus, god of slavery, smiled and was
content from that day forward. For whatever else might come, he
held the only key to Rovagug’s eternal prison, and thus, held the fate
of the world in his dark, clawed hands.
