Shadoom, Goblin King, the Fleshcrafter, Master of Blood and Bone

    Shadoom was the original biomancer and one of the greatest wizard-kings in known history. It was in his occultum pot that the first goblins were created. It was his abominations who struck down Guiying, his greatest arcane rival, in the Forever War. And, if the legends are true, it was Shadoom who created Tarrasque, the mythic apocalypse that will end the world.

    According to the Church of the Authority, Shadoom is a neutralized threat. Although he terrorized the world for three centuries, he died his seventh and final death to a goblin with a rusty shiv. His many stolen souls were either destroyed in Church ritual or trapped in hidden fortresses to be guarded by paladins until the end of the world.

    Domain - the Blue Forest. A vast wood of blue trees that was permanently altered by Shadoom's frequent biomantic rituals. The soil here is supernaturally nourishing, and the trees unusually sentient. Inhabited by Shadoom's bestial creations, long free from their cages.

    Army - basically all goblins, who worship Shadoom as a divine entity. Biomancy comes naturally to them, as it was coded into their genes by the Goblin King. With it, they breed goblin-dogs, goblin-toads, goblin-bats, etc.

    Castle - Bloody Eye Castle. While it appears to be a bog standard castle of stone and wood, Bloody Eye Castle is actually a sentient living thing. All attempts by the Church to enter the castle have been met by violent flesh golems and crushing walls.

    Monster - most famously goblins, but also doom maggots and gretchlings.

    Spells - Ooze Clone, Acid Arrow, Baleful Form.
