Greyhawkery Comics: Cultists #9

Welcome back to another maniacal episode of the Cultists of Tharizdun. One of their favorite pursuits is finding lost relics in an effort to destroy the world. Or part of it. Honestly, they'd be happy with just a city or two. At any rate tonight's artifact of choice is an obscure classic from the Greyhawk vaults, the Bringer of Doom was first mentioned in AD&D Monster Manual 2 but has had little actual elaboration outside Greyhawk fandom. The Cultists may have some insight on this item, check it out. Enjoy!

Love it. Didn't it open a portal to the lower planes, from which hordlings (?) or something like that emerged to wreak devastation?

Ben: That's what I heard too. You'd totally push that button and find out, eh?

It'd be an interesting thought exercise if, say, instead of releasing them on the Prime Material, they were released to wreak havoc on another plane. For example, in 2e Planescape, one of the Factions could unleash them against another Faction. In GH terms, it totally makes sense for cultists of Tharizdun to seek it out.
