History

In the early decades of the Baklunish-Suloise Wars, Zuoken was a mortal servant of Xan Yae who had mastered both martial arts and psionics. With a few dozen other monks he held off a crucial mountain pass against a vastly numerically superior army of Suloise invaders. Though he was the lone survivor, they were successful. After inspiring an entire generation of new monks, Zuoken traveled to the Pinnacles of Azor'alq where he passed the tests needed to become a demigod.

Many centuries later, Zuoken met Zagig Yragerne and Kelanen in the Outer Planes. They parted as friends.

Zuoken's imprisonment

In 505 CY, Zuoken stopped manifesting to his followers on Oerth. His followers have discovered that his essence is being held somewhere in the central Flanaess. Though the exact location is uncertain, Zuoken's faithful continue to seek their master.

The truth of the matter is that Zuoken was one of the nine demigods that the mad archmage Zagig Yragerne captured and imprisoned beneath Castle Greyhawk as part of Zagig's plot to achieve godhood. While the other eight prisoners were released around 570 after the release of Iuz, Zuoken would remain imprisoned until 597, when he was finally released after an attempt by a similacrum of the witch-queen Iggwilv to attain full sentience in a scheme centering around Zagig's Godtrap.
