Adaptability, purity, and the nurturing flow of water.
Abyssylis embodies the vastness, adaptability, and mystery of water. Its form is fluid and ever-changing, shimmering with the hues of the ocean—deep blues, crystalline turquoises, and silvery foam.

Domain and Influence
Abyssylis’s domain is the Infinite Expanse, a vast realm of interconnected oceans, shimmering coral reefs, and tranquil lagoons. Unlike the chaotic Infernal Pyrestorm or the desolation of the Shattered Depths, the Infinite Expanse is a sanctuary of balance, where life thrives in harmony.
Its influence on the Material Plane manifests through the ebb and flow of tides that sustain coastal ecosystems. Rivers and rainfalls that bring nourishment to all living things. The mysterious depths of the oceans, inspiring awe and caution among mortals.
Realm - The Infinite Expanse
The Infinite Expanse is a boundless ocean realm, teeming with life and wonder. Glittering coral cities rest on the ocean floor, while luminescent creatures swim through the deep. Towering spires of water rise and fall with the tides, forming temporary bridges between islets and atolls.
At the heart of the Infinite Expanse lies the Sanctum of Currents, a glowing whirlpool of pure elemental water that serves as Abyssylis’s throne. This sanctum is the source of the realm’s vitality, its currents spreading life and energy throughout the Plane of Water.
Abyssylis is both a nurturing protector and an unyielding force of nature. It embodies water’s ability to adapt and persist while maintaining balance. Abyssylis safeguards life, ensuring water remains a source of sustenance and renewal. When threatened, Abyssylis becomes an unstoppable torrent, crushing those who would disrupt the balance. To preserve the sanctity of water across the planes, ensuring it remains a force of harmony and not corruption.
Legends and History
Creation
Abyssylis emerged from the first primordial ocean, its essence born of the tides and storms that shaped the cosmos. It was among the earliest Primordials chosen to guard the Elemental Forges.
The Eclipse Epoch
During the Eclipse Epoch, Abyssylis stood firm against the corruption of Ignaraxis and Obsidros, using its command over water to douse the infernal flames and stabilize the crumbling earth. It played a pivotal role in the Apotheosis Convergence, summoning great tidal forces to isolate Ignaraxis and weaken its infernal power.
The Purifying Tides
After the Eclipse Epoch, Abyssylis led efforts to cleanse the Elemental Forges of lingering corruption. It used the pure currents of the Sanctum of Currents to restore harmony to the fractured realms.
Abyssylis commands an array of aquatic entities that reflect the nurturing and protective nature of water. Tideward Guardians, towering elemental warriors made of flowing water, tasked with defending sacred aquatic sites. Wavecallers, lesser elementals that summon healing rains and soothing currents to aid allies. Coral Sentinels, living coral constructs that guard Abyssylis’s domain, their sharp branches and vibrant colors both beautiful and deadly.
Artifacts and Relics
Trident of Tides
A legendary weapon crafted from Abyssylis’s essence, the Trident of Tides grants its wielder mastery over water. It can summon tidal waves, calm raging seas, or cleanse corruption from the land.
Pearl of the Abyss
A luminescent pearl that holds a fragment of the Infinite Expanse’s power. When activated, it creates a protective barrier of water that heals and shields its bearer.
Current Status
Abyssylis remains a stalwart protector of the Infinite Expanse, constantly monitoring the balance of water across the planes. Its influence can be felt wherever water flows, and its guidance is sought by those who honor the oceans.
