She particularly relishes the grief of those enemies who die alone. Oublivae likewise delights in the horror of creatures forced to watch their allies slain and consumed, their blood lapped up by her long, ghoulish tongue. DC 17. Its said that the monster Oublivae craviled up to the Barrens in an unknown age, making her way into the ‘wasteland from the bottomless ruins of that blasted realm. Her head is that of a resplendent fey queen, mounted atop a lustrous insectoid exoskeleton. When the demon lord Ugoreth espied her, he surrounded the ereature with his servants and demanded servitude, In response, Oublivae told Ugoreth that she was a herald come from the heart of the Abyss with a message only for him. Blinded by his own ‘vanity, the demon lord granted her private audience. As soon as they were alone, Oublivae attacked the hapless Ugoreth, consuming his soul and hurling his body into the bottomless ruin from which she had risen. She laid waste to his demesne, made a throne of his castle, and became undisputed Queen of the Barrens. DC 21,Whatever the truth of her origins, Oublivaes eternal work s to divide what is united, isolate those divided pieces, and leave only barren, lifeless desolation in her destructive wake. She allies with select demon lords to limit the expansion of others’ realms, helping to perpetuate the endless cycle of violence and chaos that drives the Abyss. Oublivae's followers in the Abyss live by her example of hopelessness, stalking desolate areas, driving lost travelers tomadness or cannibalism, then consuming them. Demons and undead not sworn to the service of Orcus attend the Demon Monarch of the Barrens, dedicating themselves to the ruin that is her legacy. DC 25 If Oublivae has a weakness, itis her fascination for history.

Its ruler was named the Lord of the Diamond Crown, and he proclaimed it the pinnacle ofthe universe's grandest dream. The legend states that an angel appeared. from a void in the Astral Sea, warning the lord ofthe evils of his vanity When the lord asked whose authority she spoke with, the angel drew forth her sword and slew him where he stood, His vvast shimmering realm collapsed and fell nto the lightless void from whence the angel had come. It became the Barrens, the distorted realm of the 100th layer ofthe Abyss, where every city past and future lies ruined among its desolate wilds and vast oceans.

The local ecosystem in the region crumbles into nothingness. Plants shrivel up and wither away, causing, the food chain to slowly collapse.

C21, Paaa is sometimes credited with bringing the Blood War between Demons and Devils to fruition. Some believe he was capable of this as he isthe only demon lord ‘who has good relations with the Archdevils of Hell Strangely, the demon lord that hates Pazuzu the most is Grazz't, supposedly a Lord of Hell before becoming an Abyssal Lord. DC 25 Unlike most other demon lords, Pazuzs is able co ‘manifest freely in the mortal world. Over millennia, he has perfected the craft of seducing mortals to his will without attracting the attention of the gods that protect them, In ancient texts, the names Imdugud, Pazrael and Typhon are associated with a benevolent entity that protects against pestilence and blesses childbirth. Folk that cal on this entity, hhave their prayers consistently answered, remaining. blissfully unaware that these benevolent spirits are avatars of Pazuzu.

To the demons of the rift and the Wasting Tower, they are the Lord of Misery and Despair—worshiped in fear and revered as a god. Phraxas, sometimes known by the alias Anthraxus, appears as a gaunt, ghoulish creature draped in moldering ray robes. Their skin is covered with uleers and oozing pustules, and their eyes glow red from deep in their sockets LorE A character knows the following information with a successful check using the Arcana or History skil DC 13.As ahallmark oftheir faith, mortal servants of Phraxas are afflicted with diseases that give them a ghoulish, Gisfigured appearance. Cultists gather in dark shrines called conventicles, where they perform rituals and blood sacrifices, in their master’s name, Phraxas's cultists revile health, youth, beauty, and innocence, and creatures that possess such qualities are rarely found among the demon lord's followers. Cult priests, known as degogs, dress in crimson robes with black hoods and sashes. The most favored of Phraxas's mortal servants are raised tothe station of archdegog, and they are occasionally chosen to serve as the vessel for one of, Pheaxas’s aspects. DC 17, Supplicants seeking boons ot favors of Phraxas, journey to the Wasting Tower by the thousands, These faithful are dealt with by the demon lord's archdegogs and Viziers. His fear of challenge means that Phraxas spends his time quarding the Siege Malicious, meeting with only a small circle of his most trustworthy followers. Other creatures that come face ta face with the demon lord find themselves engaged in combat in short order. DC 21, Though he trusts no one, Phraxas maintains a small circle of baernaloth viziers as his personal guard. Bacrnaloths are tall, gaunt demons with horned hes resembling the skulls of rams or cattle. Their glazed eyes run with sickly yellow fluid and their gray skin is stretched tight across their bones. It was through their invaluable service that Phraxas was able to discern the whereabouts and ‘weaknesses of his most formidable enemies on his path to reclaiming the rule of Khin-Oin, DC25. Pheaxas was not the first master of Khin-Oin, and he has held control of the Wasting Tower more than once, ‘Though he reclaimed the great throne known as the Siege ‘Malicious only a century ago, Phraxas has ruled Khin-Oin for nearly three millennia all together, far longer than any of his predecessors. Since resuming power, Phraxas has worked tirelessly to complete two primary objectives: recovering a legendary artifact known as the Staff of the Lower Planes, and completing the construction ofthe Tower of Incarnate Pain on the boundary of the Blood Rift and Pazunia. A project started under his predecessor Mydianchlarus, the tower is designed to channel power between itself, Khin-Oin, and the ancient Tower of the Arcanaloths on the Plain of 2 Thousand Portals, This flow of abyssal energy is intended to trigger a planar nexus, channeling virtually unlimited power into the ‘Siege Malicious. FacinG PHRAXAS ‘The forces of Khin-Oin are at Phraxas's command, but the master of the Wasting Tower seeks any opportunity to face off against foes in direct combat. ‘FEATURES In addition to the features in their stat block, Phraxas possesses the following miscellaneous features and non- ‘combat abilities. Infectious Rot. Crestures that spend more than 1 hour within 30 feet of Phraxas begin to adopt a decaying similar visage similar to their own; their skin begins to peel and slough, old wounds return and fester, and blood periodically leaks from the mouth, ears, or eyes. Immunity to disease increases the time required to 24 hours, but doesn't provide any protection from the effect thereafter. Magic Weapons. Phraxas' weapon attacks are magical ‘Spellcasting (2/Day Bach) Phraxas casts guardian of faith (necrotic damage), planar binding, or scrying (spell save pe22). Throne of Paranoia. Through the corrupting power of the Sioge Malicious, Phraxas automatically knows when they hear a lie and ean cast augury and detect evil and good at will (no concentration required). Comsar A paragon of sadism even among their own kind, Phraxas ‘commands their baernaloth viziers to spread their attacks ‘aroundinflicting maximum pain but stopping short of killing their opponents. Knowing that few creatures apart from deities and other demon lords can challenge them, Phraxas relishes using dominate monster to command enemies to attack their own allies. A master tactician, the demon lord always has backup forces and escape plans at the ready, usually falling back on overwhelming numbers and prepared wards and traps to stave off any actual threats. While they may keep some distance at the beginning of combat, Phraxas dives into the frey once Bulwark of the Blood Rift has been activated, taking great pleasure in personally ripping apart their strongest foes while their remaining allies deal with the weaker opponents and potentially use them as bait or hostages.

AByYSSAL GEYSER Demons are spontaneously birthed from the matter of the [Abyss itself. When enough demonic energy is concentrated into one place, regardless of the plane itis present in, an abyssal geyser is created. An abyssal geyser is highly volatile coalescence of planar matter that spawns new demons ata significantly faster rate than the rest of the Abyss, They are somewhat uncommon in the Infinite Depths, and they are highly sought out by demon lords that seek to swell their ranks and to deny others from gaining an advantage over them. Despite their name, abyssal geysers all have unique appearances. Some ate cracks in the wall ofthe Abyss that ‘spew out endless filth that immediately forms into new demons. Others are large pools of bile and poison whose ‘spawn emerge from their infinite depths. Some abyssal ieysers are even active, creature-ike entities, using tendrils ‘and other natural weapons to defend themselves and their progeny. Abyssal geysers are considered demonic constructs. Some are naturally birthed by the Abyss, while others are artificially constructed and are used as a staging ground for a ‘demonic incursion into another plane of existence. Fither ‘way, these terrain feature-esque entities typically lack mental facilities of any kind, but they instinctively take actions to defend themselves against attackers Out of combat, an abyssal geyser produces demons at a much slower pace. In one hous, an abyssal geyser can produce 25 demons of CR 1, 50 demons of CR 1/2, or 100 demons of CR 1/4 oF lower.
