# [[Grotus]] Grotus is the god of the end times, ruin, oblivion. He is a *chaotic neutral* god. He is said to hang above the boneyard where souls travel. We encountered a secret altar to him in [[The Gauntlight#Secret Sinister Shrine]]. ## Shrine in the Forest The party discovered a shrine to Grotus in the forest near [[Absalom]] at the [[Tower of the Watcher]]. The shrine consists of metal hexagons (Bond-sized) with religious scripture written on them. The shrine was erected to connect to and see Grotus at certain times of the year or of the day, always at night. The shrine includes a magical chant interspersed with the writing that serves as a spell to see the Watcher of the Gate. ## Session 061 [[Vayle]] identified the shrine as dedicated to Grotus, the Watcher of the Gate. The party found it unusual that Grotus would have a shrine here, as he normally looks out onto the boneyard, which shouldn't be in this location. ## Symbols - Four-pointed orange star. - He's normally depicted as a moon with an ominous face.
