Note: This is a page on Kashga from the Disciples of Kashga and is NOT official lore relating to the Guild Wars universe.

Kashga's Lore

This story was taken from the Tome of Kashga deep from within the Library of Kashgarsh, which holds every book on the the One God ever written, and is kept safe from outsiders by the Disciples.

-Chapter 8: Epilogue-

Kashga was created at the time of the giving of Magic accidently. The amount of magic in the air was overwhelming and by Arah, the place on Tyria with the most magic, large particles of magic collided and melded together to create a new deity. This being instinctively grasped for power and fought against the Old Gods. This being was called Kashga. He rose up against the Old Gods in a catastrophic war. With this taking place and no one to control them, the intelligent creatures of the world began fighting among another. Centaur against Charr, Human against Tengu, Dwarf against Dredge, until finally, on the mysterious island of Kashgarsh in the centre of the Great Ocean, the 7 Gods met and fought one last battle. Eventually, the Old Gods won with the aid of Abbadon whom they would ironically, imprison in later years. Kashga was petrified in the Echovald Forest and the Old Gods went on with their ways. Firstly, the Old Gods sank the island of Kashgarsh and erased the memories of all who were present at the time of Kashga's presence. However, since Abbadons death, the Great Destroyers end and the awakening of Primordus, the new flow of magic into the world has increased greatly, and Kashga is starting to break free of his chains...'

Kashga

Pronounced:Cash-gar) - The Equivalent God of Grenth. Kashga wears pure white robes, a helmet much like the White Mantle and a scythe made of bone. Kashga is the God of Death and Hatred. He is patron god of Ritualists, Dervishes and Necromancers. He is also patron god of farmers because of his scythe and 'harvesting' souls.

Inscription

And it was that Kashga did give his blessings upon the Anti Valentine, so that he could control the power to raise the island of Kashgarsh out of the deep, cold waters. Once it was stable did the Anti Valentine look up to the skies and cry out "Oh Almighty Kashga, Lord of Death! I have done thou bidding! Now give me the power to guard this land and it's people!. And the clouds did turn grey and cover the skies. With it came a lightning bolt that pierced the Anti Valentine's heart. Lightning crackled out of his hands and chest, but then subsided. Thus the power of Kashga did subside in Anti Valentine, the first being to commune with him in over 1000 years. -- Scriptures of Kashga, '200BE'

Story of the Imprisonment

-Chapter 7: Imprisonment-

'After the great battle, the Old Gods took their revenge on the One that had been a thorn in their side for so many years. Firstly, they took the Heretic Being and cast him into the Realm of Torment for 60 days and then released them. After this unbearable torment, Kashga had to witness his island sink into the icy waters with his followers, citizens, women, men and children. Finally, the New God wsd imprisoned in titanium chains in stone. Only those in the highest rank of the Disciples know exactly where the God is hidden, and they are eagerly looking forward to the day He is released...'
