And so it came to pass that Jadoth, being persecuted by the horrific Forgotten armies, and hounded from his home, did seek refuge among the cooling mists of the Crystal Sea. Untold weeks passed as Jadoth huddled in his sanctuary, with nothing to see save the endless ripples of the boundless ocean. On the 51st day of his exodus, a frightful sight manifested before Jadoth's eyes: the unmistakable shape of Forgotten warships upon the horizon's shimmering edge. And prayed Jadoth, "Abaddon! Lord of the Everlasting Depths, Keeper of Secrets, open mine eyes and bestow upon me the knowledge of the Abyss that I might smite mine enemies and send them to the watery depths!" An unsettling silence swept across the waves. The twilight sky shattered and stars streaked down upon the Forgotten armada. The seas boiled and ruptured, and gave birth to a maelstrom from which not even light could escape, and transforming the sky above into a midnight void. And thus was magic gifted to Jadoth, chosen of Abaddon, the first of the Margonites. -- Scriptures of Abaddon, 1BE |

- It is known that Shiro Tagachi and the Lich Lord were corrupted by Abaddon.
[edit] Trivia
- The name "Abaddon" is the English form of the word "Avadon"(אבדון) in Hebrew which translates to "ruin" or "destruction".
- If your party uses the /dance emote before engaging Abaddon he will perform some dance moves before slaying your entire party with the message "You got served!". The video can be seen here. Every human party member must use the dance emote for this to work. The emote /dancenew does not trigger the effect.
- The message "You got served!" is most likely a reference to the 2004 dance movie You Got Served.
- Abaddon, in demonology, was chief of the demons of the seventh hierarchy. He was called The Destroyer.
- A mural of Abaddon can be seen in the following location:
- Abaddon uses the warrior dance emote.
