JOKBAZI
========

 I was wondering about Jokbazi, he appears in GRoY on the Godswall and is
the only "lord of the Fifth Hell" mentioned -- the fifth hell being the DH
equivalent of chaos (or the void, the difference between the two is
academic). In The Book of Drastic Resolutions a minor cult description is
given for him, but I don't believe it is quite accurate or encompassing. IMO
Jokbazi is the DH embodiment of all that chaos is, equivalated to Wakboth,
Ragnaglar and Kajabor all rolled into one huge chaos deity. Rather than
distinguishing various forms of chaos they merely clump it together as one
thing. I don't believe that this is represented in the sources I have. I was
mainly wondering what other people thought?

CRIMSON BAT
===========

 The Crimson Bat was banished by Arkat during the Gbaji Wars. Does anyone
know how he did this, where he banished it to, or where he battled it?

ARKAT
=====

 IMHO Arkat was raised on Brithos, left and joined Gerlant, and then became
a follower of Nysalor. He became a priest of Nysalor and followed him
perfectly. When the plague was released in Seshnela, Arkat was horrified
that his god, Nysalor, could allow this to happen and came to the decision
that Nysalor had fallen to the self-same Dark Side that he kept warning
everyone to beware of. Therefore he began a crusade against the god, and
slew him. There you have it.

 If there's a world lore, plant lore and chaos lore, is there a Nysa Lore?
