Joktors

Joktors
Their belief is that there are Nine great Gods who owned the Valley before are dormant in the world, and one day will awaken to reclaim the land for their own. They can still hear some of what transpires and manipulate the population to some extent - such as the murder of Leath for claiming divinity over their land - but mostly they are working on their own timescales.

At certain times of the year where the two moons are full and tinged red, the veil thins and they stir long enough to assess the state of the Valley. If they find it isn’t to their liking they fall asleep again. As they Joktors are somewhat sketchy on precisely when and where their Old Ones will awaken, they instead try to entice them by performing rituals that might please them enough to force the awakening. Such as the massacre at Hroke.
