Nixos

Overview

It is unclear whether Nixos gives his name to the Ancient Dwarven (and as a result, the Old Tongue) word for 'evil' or vice versa, since definitive records were destroyed prior to the Age of Discovery. Nixos, however, is the Lord of All Sin. He is the largest and highest ranking of all The Axodia, the Archdevils.

Depiction

Nixos is typically described or illustrated as an enormous, over 15ft tall, humanoid with the traditional devil features - horns and a long pointed tail. In Nixos's case, his skin is coal black, usually slightly lightened for the sake of paintings and drawings. His horns are large and curved, like a ram's, in a perfect smooth arc, with the points ending beside his ears.

History

Or supposed history, at least. Stories relating to the gods and the archdevils say that at one point, possibly at the end of the Age of Conflict, Nixos managed to capture Alios, the god of light. Different versions have different archdevils responsible for the actual kidnapping, but most assume Nixos to be behind it. It is said this is what led to the Ten Year Winter, as Essina, the goddess of air (and by virtue, winter), as Alios's love lost control in her despair. Thankfully, a successful rescue was made.
Nixos is also rumoured to be directly behind Astrona Emberwild's turning, the event that set off the metaphorical dominoes into starting the Cataclysm War. Historical theorists have managed to make associations, to varying strengths, between each of the Nine and an Archdevil. As the head of the council and by process of elimination from connecting the other eight up to the other archdevils, Astrona gets paired with Nixos as a result.

Realm

The Nixrelm is said to be made entirely from obsidian pillars and lakes of sulphuric acid. Nixos himself resides in an immensely tall pitch black tower, possibly made from the same obsidian as the rest of the realm, making it indistinguishable if it were not for its height.
