Yig Nachal Character in Erenel | World Anvil

Yig Nachal

Yig Nachal, the Thousand Eyed Spider, gazes deeply at Erenel from the Black Sea of Void. Often mistaken for a Spider God by the ignorant, Yig Nachal has held an interest to Erenel even before the Great Sacrifice. The Thousand Eyed Spider is thought to be the most aggressive of the Null. However, this belief is often attributed to the ease of finding traces of Yig Nachal in a community.   Typically documented accidentally, dust-covered tomes speak of strange occurrences involving eyes found growing across the brain of the deceased. The true motives of a Null are generally unknown, for who can adequately understand an aberration of madness. But with Yig Nachal, the motive seems ingrained in his babbling cultists - weave the oculus web so they can truly see.   A terrifying string of new documentation has recently leaked from the Royal College. Over the past decade, more and more beasts have been found with varying amounts of eyes growing across their brain and brain stem. Recently more unfortunate beasts have been seen with their brain hemorrhaging and bursting from their skull, acting incoherent and violent. The only remedy seems to be detaching the brain from the body.

Tenets of Faith

Seeking Yig Nachal's Truth

Traits of followers who seek Yig Nachal's truth:  
Worshipers of Yig Nachal are scholars, magic users, and beings of intelligence who muse over discovered knowledge. These individuals dedicate their lives to learning; nevertheless, a single defining moment leads to drawing the gaze from one of the thousand eyes.   Followers often only realize they are devoted after months of cruelty and sociopathic behavior hidden amongst goal-oriented learning. With the understanding that Yig Nachal is wise beyond belief, they ready themselves for an administered truth – to truly see.
 

Joining the Oculus Web

Traits of the Oculus Web, those who know Yig Nachal's truth:  
To awaken their mind to umbra knowledge, worshipers begin the painful and enlightening "Oculus Web". Small eyes begin to open across the brain and brain stem leaving the follower in excruciating pain with each blink. It’s as if a direct link from the attentive Yig Nachal to the worshiper is created with each emerging eye.   After enough eyes are open, the truth slowly becomes apparent. Knowledge acquired alone is meaningless, but when the strands are woven together into a web, supreme consciousness is attainable for all who help stitch. The Oculus Web, woven by Yig Nachal from the souls granted eyes to see the hidden webbing, allows each follower to be something bigger than themselves. Everlasting.
