Artificer Moloch of the Brambles was once a prominent wizard in the land, renowned for his expertise in the forgotten runes of ancient civilizations. However, his thirst for power and knowledge led him down a dark path, and he was eventually exiled from the wizarding community for dabbling in forbidden magic.

For many years, Moloch lived as a hermit, delving deeper and deeper into the mysteries of the runes. He became obsessed with the idea of unlocking the secrets of the seventh realm, a plane of existence beyond the reach of mortal beings. To aid him in his quest, he created a powerful magical artifact known as the Key of the Seventh Realm, which he believed would grant him access to this forbidden realm.

But Moloch's pursuit of power came at a cost. He had become increasingly isolated and paranoid, and his experiments with the runes had attracted the attention of dark forces beyond his understanding. In his delirium, he summoned forth a familiar to serve him - a grotesque and disease-ridden creature he called the Plague Rat.

The Plague Rat quickly became a symbol of Moloch's madness, spreading disease and corruption wherever it went. Many believed it to be a manifestation of Moloch's own dark magic, a physical embodiment of his obsession with unlocking the secrets of the seventh realm.

As time passed, Moloch's experiments grew more dangerous and his isolation more complete. He was consumed by his quest for knowledge and power, unable to see the harm he was causing to himself and those around him. In the end, it is said that he vanished into the seventh realm, consumed by the very forces he sought to control.

Today, the Key of the Seventh Realm and the Plague Rat are still whispered about in hushed tones among the wizarding community. Many believe that the key still exists, waiting to be discovered by a brave or foolhardy adventurer. As for the Plague Rat, it is said to still roam the wilderness, spreading disease and corruption wherever it goes. Some say that it is a warning - a reminder of the dangers of dabbling in forgotten magic and the lure of power.
