History

Origin

Farallah was one of the mystic Principalities, entities invoked for power. Very little is known of Farallah's origin, though, like virtually all of the Principalities, Farallah was presumably of extradimensional origin. Farallah was a member of the Octessence, eight Principalities that all claimed to be the most powerful among them.

Its dimension, Farallah, was a brutal realm within the Archipelago of Anguish and Redemption, set beyond Krakkan and adjacent to the realm of Brutus Klor and the Murder Clans, servants of Farallah.

Thousands of years ago, eight great mystics met to see who was the most powerful. To avoid an open conflict, it was decided they would enter into the Wager of Octessence, where each would create a Totem that contained some of their powers, and whoever touched it would become an avatar, or "Exemplar". Farallah placed his power inside Fearsome Fist of Farallah which he placed in the Andean temple of Farallah, in Peru.

Modern Age

War of the Seven Spheres

Like all members of the Octessence, Farallah participated in the War of the Seven Spheres, although it was not seen petitioning Doctor Strange to fight for it in exchange for the power borrowed, like many other powers and principalities did.

Wager of the Octessence

Thousands of years later, the temple in Peru was discovered by Nigel Pigman but Andreas Zorba became the Exemplar, Carnivore, as the Wager of the Octessence was launched.
