BalHemoth

The Binder, Lord of Chains
The sinister Bal’Hemoth was worshipped in ancient Lemuria as the iron-fisted master of order and enslavement. He taught dominance and the power of the strong over the weak, although Bal’Hemoth’s ways were overthrown through generations of slave rebellions against the Serpent People of Lemuria and their inheritors.
