History: (Dragonlance #27) - Hith was a god of evil who controlled the land of Thenol, located on the continent of Taladas. Hith vied for control of all Taladas with Erestem, Goddess of Darkness. Hith was angered when the great Paladine, good of good, sent his servant Riva Silvercrown to Taladas to banish evil from the land. Hith’s bishop Trandamere informed him that a clutch of Silver Dragon eggs were about to hatch in Wind Caverns of Rathna Vulghan, and Hith wanted them for his own so he could turn them into an army of Draconians. Riva, her dragon Ktarrh and a council of dragons were trying to convince the Silver Dragons, led by Eron, that the eggs were better protected being scattered throughout Taladas instead of concentrated in one area. They knew the unborn dragons could be a great force for good, but Erestem and Hith both sought them out for their own evil ends. Hith unleashed an army of ogres on the hatching grounds. Eron and the other dragons killed them, but not before they managed to smash all of the eggs. Eron grieved, and Riva knew he’d learned a dear lesson in putting one’s pride above all else. Hith was disappointed in the Ogre’s clumsy failure, but was nonetheless pleased that he’d managed to spread sorrow and despair.
