Emasstus Carcosa was the Patriarch/Sage of Pholtus in Rauxes circa 576-577 CY. He was deposed and ordered arrested for treason by Overking Ivid V for speaking out publicly about the Overking's tyranny and trafficking with devils and for calling for an open rebellion to Ivid's rule. He even went so far as to reach out to other good-aligned churches like Heironeous, Ehlonna, and the church of Saint Cuthbert (with which the Pholtan church has a long-standing antipathy). Carcosa further elaborated on the plots of Xaene, Ivid's court mage and the one suspected of summoning the devils who propped up Ivid's throne.[1]
Carcosa managed to flee from the troops sent to arrest him, and his whereabouts are therafter unknown.[1]
For an unspecified time after the failed arrest, Carcosa lived in Rauxes under an unknown alias,[2]
At some point before the Greyhawk Wars, Carcosa died on the orders of Ivid V, who "had him arrested for treason and subversion and [Ivid] organized the systematic looting of temples of Pholtus in all lands (though in Ahlissa and Medegia he was defied in this matter)."[3]
