The Order of D'hjuin

The Order of D'hjuin is a secretive sect of adepts who serve a being called "D'hjuin," who they maintain is a dark extradimentional being currently locked in the center of a neutron star. They are primarily made of up a humanoid race from Zeta Reticuli, but will accept members from other races if they are deemed worthy. Each member goes through decades of instruction and indoctrination, finally accumulating in a ritual where each member seals their mouths shut in an eternal vow of silence. The order works to free D'hjuin from his prison, whereupon they believe he will reshape the universe in his image.

Octaball

The creatures known as "Octaballs" were created centuries ago by a young wizard as a practical joke. The essence of a horned lizard was combined with several other slimy things to produce the first of these horrid monstrosities. The first Octaballs were small and harmless, but as they fed they eventually grew and became quite dangerous. Although an extensive campaign was waged to eliminate these aberrations, sporadic reports of the creature still surface in deep caverns or forgotten dungeons.
