He was part of the seal on Silvertear. There was a huge pool of aether under it's waters. This was why before that fight happened the beast tribes had a very difficult time summoning their gods. Even with crystals there wasn't enough free aether. That and remember what else is in the area. The Crystal tower which we all know now also needed boat loads of aether if it was going to help get the Cloud of Darkness into our world. After the seal was broken it became much easier for the beast tribes to summon because you no longer needed a Loloritto's bank account worth of crystals.
