==The Cult of Joboth: setting lore and the story so far ==


-The chapel at the Keep is currently occupied by 'good' druids.

-When Greyclaw and Zilsiha went into the basement of the chapel they found fungusy dead bad druids who had been worshiping a weird god

-After making the discovery the leader of the good druids confessed that his forerunner had been a bad guy, Wondertree1 who worshipped Joboth, a 'god of monsters'

-Wondertree1 (and presumably Joboth) respected all forms of life, good and evil, not distinguishing between wholesome 'good' life and evil and chaotic forms

-Wondertree1 was expelled by the Castellan. He went to the Caves of Chaos to set up a temple to this god of monsters, called Joboth.

-It makes sense that the Dry Ones's 'King of Life'  is Joboth 

-This is what Soilchild4 said after G and Z discovered the evil shrine under the chapel:

 Then he offers an explanation for their bizarre find. His circle of druids , he relates, were called to the Keep by a powerful Druidic master, Wondertree 1. Wondertree 1’s group did not 
 distinguish between the pure, natural life of the wholesome earth, and the perverse vitality of the corrupt forces stirred by the magical apocalypse. All were one, he taught. Soilchild 4 was 
 ordered to the Keep by the high circle of druids to moderate and report on Wondertree 1’s heresies.

 When Soilchild 4 arrived with his circle they found that Wondertree 1 and his followers had moved on. The castellan had expelled them, sensing an unhealthy interest in monstrous life and 
 encouraging, not checking the wild things that stalked the borderlands. The castellan had closed off the lower chambers of the chapel building, which remained unexplored til today. He was 
 reluctant to accept druids again to the Keep until he was given assurances that they did not follow Wondertree 1’s creed , but obeyed the more conventional teachings of druidry.



Soilchild4 believes that the druids discovered in today’s mission were a remnant of Wondertree’s cult. As for Wondertree himself, he moved on to the Caves of Chaos to establish a high temple. A high temple dedicated to Joboth, god of monsters!
