The Cult of Crysa-Thul was a group of followers of the stillborn fetal deity Crysa-Thul. Not much is known about them other than that Vox Machina destroyed their deity.

History[]

Campaign One: Pre-stream Arc[]

An adventuring team, at that time comprised of Grog Strongjaw, Tiberius Stormwind, Scanlan Shorthalt, Vax'ildan, Vex'ahlia, and a dragonborn paladin, met in the swamp town of Stilben as a ragtag group of mercenaries in search of work. They found a job board posting from Fendril Vas, the elven head of a small merchant empire, who hired the group to investigate new competition in town known as "the Myriad". Their mission led them to a chamber containing a planar rift that pulled the group into the plane of the undead fetal-formed deity Crysa-Thul, who revealed that their contract with the elven merchant was merely a ruse to lure them so the god could feed on them. The party fought back, destroying the creature, and returned to Stilben to kill Vas in revenge. Fendril was actually a worshipper of the stillborn god and had intended to feed the party to this deity like many previous mercenary groups. Vox Machina destroyed Crysa-Thul and returned to slay Fendril for his treachery.[1][2][3]

This story was also briefly recounted in Vox Machina Origins, Series II, Issue 1, although in this version of the story the dragonborn paladin was absent, Keyleth was present, the party apparently encountered Crysa-Thul in the swamp, and the party only extorted Fendril for money after learning he was evil.
