THE SWOLLEN
Represents The Void, hunger, consumption and the unknown
Consume. There is no other focus, drive or desire of The Swollen. This blackhole Numen swallows everything and anything it pleases, appearing as sinkholes in deserts, whirlpools in oceans and vacuums in skies.
​
The Swollen is said to have planar pipelines and tunnels, referred to as the throat, which lead down spiraling paths that eventually end in The Void.

THE CREATIONIST
Drakthum is rumoured to once have been of Snakeskin descent with serpantine features and a charming personality who accidentally trapped themselves inside their weapon when attempting Black Magic. Drakthum then became the sword, a shadowy, sentient blade forged in the shape of three spiraling black prongs that protrude from its hilt and meet at a single sharp point. Drakthum is said to store the souls of its victims, entrapped within the weapon and causing a greenish blue mist to swirl around it and mutter. The swirl of the three blades encase a small, inky black heart that pulses and throbs when it hungers for death.
​
Drakthum commonly finds weak-willed wielders to manipulate into comsuming souls through slaughter of innocents. Absorbing the power within the souls for his own gain and controlling the magical essence that resides within them.
​
It is said that Darkthum wished to once be weilded by The Watching Wolf, however, due to differing beliefs on where a soul slave is best used, it caused the pair to fall short and never truly work together. Drakthum instead turned to The Swollen, who allowed him to consume and keep as many souls as he desired. His power became ever growing due to his freedom to continue and manipulate.
​
Unlike most sentient blades, Drakthum has become content without a body. Many cursed weapons would request to one day be released, but Drakthum has no issue being a three-pronged weapon, favouring the power he holds.
