Kohal was an angelic herald of Sarenrae who was destroyed by the inhabitants of the Ninshaburian city of Gormuz in -3923 AR.1

History

Sarenrae had sent Kohal as a final warning to leave the city, as it had become thoroughly corrupted by the dreams and emanations coming from the Dead Vault, the prison holding Rovagug over which the city had been built. When its corrupted citizens turned on the herald and destroyed him, the goddess smote the city with her scimitar, destroying it utterly and tearing a deep gash in the earth that became known as the Pit of Gormuz. Kohal's corpse fell into the newly-created Pit but was resurrected a century later by Rovagug who transformed him into a twisted abomination made of molten lava.1

Kohal today

Kohal now resides in the Court of Fallen Righteousness, a jagged spire jutting from the south wall of the Pit of Gormuz, with a group of equally insane followers of Rovagug. The imprisoned god constantly whispers into his mind of his past as a herald and Kohal plots numerous plans to invade Nirvana to take revenge on Sarenrae, but he and his minions are too disorganised to act on these plans. Redeeming and restoring Kohal is practically impossible, but such an act would be a major blow to the Rough Beast.1
