Lore

The Devourer was the creation of a brilliant but mad artificer named Varnax. He was obsessed with the secrets of the cosmos and the mysteries of creation and destruction. He believed that by harnessing the power of a sphere of annihilation, he could unlock the ultimate knowledge and become a god.

Varnax spent years researching and experimenting with various methods of containing and controlling a sphere of annihilation. He devised a complex mechanism that used arcane magic and special materials to trap the sphere inside a metal sphere and direct its movement and effects through a barrel-like tube. He called his invention The Devourer, for it could consume anything in its path and unleash devastating force.
Varnax tested his device on various objects and creatures, destroying them with ease and delight. He was convinced that he had created the most powerful weapon in existence, and that he could use it to conquer the world and reshape it in his image. He planned to unleash The Devourer on the nearest city, but before he could do so, he was betrayed by one of his assistants, who feared his madness and ambition.
The assistant stole The Devourer and fled from Varnax’s laboratory, hoping to find a way to destroy it or hide it from him. Varnax pursued him with rage and vengeance, but along the way, he encountered a group of adventurers who had heard of his evil deeds and sought to stop him. A fierce battle ensued, during which The Devourer was used by both sides, causing massive destruction and chaos.
The outcome of the battle is unknown, but legend has it that The Devourer was lost or buried somewhere in the aftermath, waiting for someone to find it and unleash its power again. Some say that Varnax survived and is still searching for his creation, while others say that he perished along with his enemies. Either way, The Devourer remains a dangerous and coveted item, a source of awe and terror for those who know of its existence.
