My group travels through the Dourstone mine and has a glorious victory against Theldrick. Now they have found the informations about Kyuss in the two handouts.
The cleric of the group asked about a knowledge check for Kyuss. Now I realize that their are many tables for knowledge checks in the AoW and some are in Dragon (about the Spawn of Kyuss), but their are no table for mighty Kyuss.
So what can you find out about Kyuss with Knowledge (Religion)?
Please excuse my bad english, but I'm not a native speaker.

Senden,
I agree. Folks at Paizo, can you focus an upcoming Dragon artical on Kyuss and his history? I would like that versus waiting on the final Dungeon module to do so. In my campaign, Kyuss is a forgotten part of the gods and godess patheon. They erased part of the world's history book, and he was part of the section erased. So, I want to give them tease clues about him, his power, his followers. I know you gave a snap shot in Dungeon 130. But, we need more:)

The problem with making an article about the mighty Kyuss is that once you do so, all the players still on... say blackwall keep will immediately realize what's going on. And the campaign will lose a lot of its mystery.
We kind of did this already, in issue #336 of Dragon. It has the Ecology of the Spawn of Kyuss in there; while the majority of the article talks about the undead, there is a sizable sidebar about kyuss in there.
I know this article, but this sidebar doesn't solve the problem. The sidebar specifies Kyuss as a demigod but I am looking for a knowledge sidebar similiar to the sidebar for the Spawn of Kyuss in the same article.
2000 years ago, Kyusss played a major role. Who remembers this events? For this I need a knowledge table.

Ah; I see.
How about this, then:
Knowlege (religion) check results for Kyuss
DC 25: Kyuss is a minor deity associated with the creation of the undead. His symbol is a human skull that is infested with small green worms.
DC 30: Kyuss is also known as the Wormgod. His signature minions are the zombie-like spawn of Kyuss, who are infested with worms that can transform those they attack into undead. He is currently imprisoned in an unknown location.
DC 35: Kyuss was active was approximately 1,500 years ago, at which point he was based in the Wormcrawl Fissure and allied with the undead dragon Dragotha. His cult speaks of the Age of Worms, the time when Kyuss is freed from his prison to rule a world of undeath.
DC 40: Kyuss was once a mortal man who worshiped Nerul. 2,000 years ago he became a god by sacrificing a city of his followers, but quickly became trapped by his own divine power. He has been able to wrestle free from his prison once or twice before for short periods of time.
Thank you, James!
Exactly, what I'm looking for. :-)
If you want to know where Kyuss came from before he started meddling with icky worm-things, go to http://melkot.com/mysteries/kyuss.html
There I describe the reasoning for my Kyussian theories, which were later adopted (and rendered "official") by Sean Reynolds (who 3E'd Kyuss and his spawn) and Erik Mona.
