-Annabel-

Symbol: Although her symbol can be created as simply as fastening sticks together, metal poles, or from materials in the same manner, her brand is often seen as a carving upon something, as though it has been clawed into the world and wounded upon the Realm. Her brand is that of a downturned triangle, the edges of the shape extending beyond its form. At times this shape can be made in a raw form, simply three lines scratched into a shape, but more regal markings have been made throughout the history. At times her cults have made more embellished brands to signify their sects as their own, but they all have the same image of her wicked brand.

​

Place of Existence: At the far bottom of all the Realms is the lair of Annabel, her domain of Hell. It rests even beneath the infinite Tower, whose form is known as the Descended Tower as it nears the foul pit.

​

Signs: While there are signs of evil deities or of chaos, it could also be attributed to Annabel who is capable of any form of negativity. Darkness is her most common accomplice, fire as a weapon could be attributed to her, storms often given to Katrina could actually be the doing of Annabel, as well as pain, torture, mental fatigue, there is no limit to the cruel acts that Annabel can commit upon the world.

​

Alignment: Chaotic Evil

​

Annabel is worshipped by evil acolytes. There are few reasons to offer attention to Annabel and less cults that can offer reason for the madness that often comes from her machinations. These cults, hunted throughout the Empire of Man, the Dominions of Elves, and the Kingdoms of Dwarves, are often made up of murderers, terrorists, conspirators, and doomsday soothsayers. Within the Empire there have been records of villages, townships, and cities that have been afflicted by cults that supplant themselves into the governments to lead people astray and weaken establishments of good nature such as Christiannan Churches, Auroran Shrines, Elemental Holds, Imperial Charities, and Legion Military Assistance.

​

During times of eradication, the cults of Annabel do well to hide their purposes, their full extent, and their goals. The Imperial Inquisition has managed to capture several dark acolytes alive, and when Annabel allows them to live long enough for questioning, the investigations reveal that great and terrible powers are offered to vile prophets and blasphemers from the Lady of Hell. For those outside of the wicked cults of Annabel, it is unclear what manipulations are occurring, but the Goddess of Evil preys upon the weak, the downtrodden, and the sinister of the world.

 

Her form is unidentified, and the joined information of all the denizens of Nhearn report that few depictions are similar to the other. Her cults vary from beautiful to terrible, monstrous to magnificent, and enchanting to formidable. All that can be assumed by those who have claimed to witness her as she is, is that she arrives to her viewer as whatever they most fear. It is believed that her hands are sullied with the sins that she herself commits, that her mouth is a great maw that can devour the everlasting soul, and that beneath her is a draping of the great primordial Shadow of the dead Geabythol, a dark dressing filled with demons from the Abyss. 

 

Despite having followers, crafting cults, designing plans to undo good efforts, and hosting powerful assets to complete her machinations, there is a unanimous belief that Annabel seeks the complete destruction of Nhearn and all the Realms that surround it. She seeks always the completion of the dominion of Shadow and the undoing of creation.
