As [[Dhaivol]] brooded, and [[Dhar]]'s thoughts turned ever to the [[Cycle]] that He had once abandoned, feelings of rancor brought about an eventual sundering that led to the return of Ivoln, the Earthen Lord. His renewed presence and physical form can only be attributed to a former host of [[Goreskrat]] valley, a faithful servant in [[Undeath]].
The followers of '''Ivoln, the Earthen Lord''', seek to emulate their Father in their purity, taking on the qualities of the rock, the
crystal, the unhewn ore. For them, cleansing the self of Life is both symbolic and pragmatic, a belief
grounded in the eschewing of not only physical mortal limitations, such as flesh and organs, but metaphysical
limitations, like emotions or pain, as well. The [[undead]] call Him Father, for it is His essence that tethers them to this realm, kept greedily at bay from the [[Dhar|Underking's]] Halls.


The strongest, most physically impressive warriors make up the brunt of Ivoln's forces; He shows favor to
barbarians, soldiers, and martial artists. Vast warbands and tribes of [[Earthen]] pay respect to Lord Ivoln from
their elemental plane, the world of [[Azvosh]], where long ago, He subjugated the mighty armies with sheer force
and brute strength.


As has been in times past, jurisdiction of the Earth lies solely with Him and His children - the Undead. It is through the Earth that those who serve Him, and those who would carry His gift, are given renewed life and strength. Those who seek to serve Him should not expect to be coddled by the Earth's embrace, but to be reshaped, molded, and taught to better themselves through His domain.
Ivoln's followers have adopted many symbols to denote His holy works: often an Earthen wyrm, or an egg of
marble. In recent times, He has come to favor the skull, for its simple and evocative message.
His symbol is that of a black marble egg: a metaphor for the vast differences between His Undead and the living. The wyrm of the Earth, a creature carved from His domain and known for its ferocity and strength, also finds its place among His favour.
