Nhimbaloth
The Empty Death
Nhimbaloth is a shapeless entity known as the Empty Death. She preys on those who hunt souls as they travel along the River of Souls in the Sacred Nexus, but she devours both hunter and soul indiscriminately; those she consumes have no afterlife or potential for resurrection. They are forever gone, and forever nothing.
She is said to see through Gostars, and her trace is left behind in a symmetrical pattern of seven divots along the shoreline, said to be her fingerprints. Faceless undead haunt the places where she has passed, and plant and animal life in the area is especially hostile to the living. One place where she has particular influence is within the Shadow Wood in southern Olympus, where Gostars sap the drive and reason from the victims and leave them wandering in a vacuous stupor through the damned swamp.
It is often a mystery whether or not the Old Gods whose realms are within the Sacred Nexus even know of her presence. If they do know, they have not given any indication. Some speculate that she may be a spy for the Ancient Ones in their ongoing war with the Old Gods.
Edicts Create undead (particularly incorporeal undead), feast upon carnivores that have recently feasted upon others.
