"Dagh" is a common curse word with origins that the average user of the name is not in the least bit aware of. The true origins have been lost to time, but "Dagh" figures into many legends as a "dark god" or "lord of the underworld", and generally as a very powerful and malignant entity. Some legends describe Dagh as a very powerful (and evil) wizard from a time in history closer to the Expedition, during the age that magic was supposedly first discovered on Sinai. "Dagh" also figures into colorful phrases and exclamations such as "Dagh's dentures!" or names of forboding locations, or strange rock formations, such as "Dagh's Tower". Somewhat controversially, Dagh is also recognized as the name of a recently discovered eleventh planet in the Primus System, associated with the Sphere of Illusion (Illusion, Sphere of). However, an explorer dubbed the planet "Quicksilver", and since this name is not considered a foul word in any known language or culture, it is often used as an alternate name for the world. Presently, little is known of this planet, save that it is accessible through the Gateway Tower and that it appears to be a reflective orb.
