This small island floats alone above the rest of the plane, the other islands visible some distance below. This outcropping of rock is barely ten feet across at its widest. It is only possible to stand in a small area, the rest of the stone being covered with the bleached white skulls of various races. Where the rock is visible it has been stained a shiny midnight black, which reflects the blood red clouds that surround on all sides. A large gold throne is mounted to face the clear area, an intricate construction of spikes and swirls that twists and turns as it is watched. Arcane symbols and blasphemous images are carved into the seat's surface. | |||

*'''Supreme Master [[Luciphage]]''' - Chief among the Demon Lords of Nil is Supreme Master Luciphage, also known as the Dominator of the Midnight Legions. He is extraordinarily handsome with chiseled features and a mane of black hair that falls over his shoulders in thick, lustrous strands. His skin is a deep carnelian red and his eyes are black orbs with pupils of red fire. A barbed tail occasionally twitches from under his rich black robes that spread across the floor in puddles of silk. The borders of these robes are inscribed with golden sigils that squirm and twist on the fabric. He wields an ebony staff that has affixed to the top a golden skull with eye sockets set with two huge, black diamonds. Radiating from the Supreme Master of Nil is a dark aura so evil and foreboding that even the most sanctified of beings would be hard-pressed not to feel damned in Luciphage's crepuscular presence. Supreme Master Luciphage almost glows with nearly god-like power. He weighs about 416 pounds. He has invulnerability to excorable damage. He has a moderate weakness to divinus damage. He is loyal to the Grand Province of [[Magnagora]]. | |||

*'''a hideous archdemon''' - This huge creature is barely recognisable as humanoid, its form has been so twisted by the taint. It stands almost ten feet high, the huge wings behind it making it seem almost as wide. Great tumours have erupted from its body, whilst its limbs are twisted out of proportion. A huge maw is filled with massive teeth, black ooze dripping down its chin. Bright red eyes blaze above the grin, the only clear feature in the blackened, corrupted form. Multiple limbs have erupted from its sides, some massive, clawed arms, others stunted mockeries or sinuous tentacles. Its nose exhales a black smoke, which wraps around to surround the monstrosity. A hideous archdemon appears to be extraordinarily strong. He weighs about 625 pounds. He has a great resistance to excorable damage. He has a moderate weakness to divinus damage. He is loyal to the Grand Province of Magnagora. | |||
*'''a malevolent demon''' - This creature stands seven feet tall, with huge wings and a long sinuous tail. Its hairless body is jet black, the colour of pure night. Two blazing red eyes stand out from its skin, and white, pointed teeth decorate its evil grin. The creature slouches as it walks, long claws ready to rend the bones from the unwary innocents in its path. A malevolent demon is quite powerful. He weighs about 171 pounds. He has a great resistance to excorable damage. He has a moderate weakness to divinus damage. He is loyal to the Grand Province of Magnagora. | |||
*'''a wight''' - Ribbons of darkly floating shrouds cover a wight, whose face is in a permanent rictus of hatred and loathing. The eyes protrude as if they are about to pop out of their sockets, the white orbs crisscrossed with webs of broken veins. Bleached white hands that end in clawed nails stick out from the mass of waving shrouds. It resembles someone whom you cannot quite place. A wight looks to be crushingly strong. He weighs about 168 pounds. | |||
*'''a grotesque ghast''' - The ghast has a strangely slick skin that glistens wetly like that of a squid and pulsates as though something inside were struggling to get out. Its teeth protrude grotesquely out of its enormous mouth, jagged and sharpened cruelly. A terrible, perverted intelligence stares out of its eyes. It resembles someone whom you cannot quite place. A grotesque ghast is quite powerful. He weighs about 168 pounds. | |||
