Accretian was once a vast earth elemental, raised up from a mountain and infused with evil. It knew no limits to its power, and vanquished many foes. However, it was then called up to squash the demigoddess Nîa. With an epic spell incantation, she hurled Accretian away into space, where crushing lack of pressure and cold usually destroyed her targets utterly. Accretian was unaffected by these factors, and was trapped in a stable orbit, unable to move itself back down, and desperately missing the comfortable embrace of the earth. Over the course of the next century, Accretian was able to snatch up rocks as meteors, and press them to itself, swelling in size. This did not go unnoticed by the inhabitants of the world, who realized that their new moon was powerful, utterly angry, and capable of hurling small rocks down to the surface. Cults sprung up, venerating the Bad Moon and offering sacrifices to send its anger elsewhere. Some of these have even developed spell casting in Accretian’s name, making them quite dangerous to the followers of Nîa, Accretian’s sworn foe.
