Abominable Character in Kobos | World Anvil

Abominable

Adrammelech (a.k.a. The Abominable)

"They pray to the Demiurge, the elves do. At least, they SAY they pray to Him. Reality is, they've been dancing to the tune of another would-be god. They say it's an archfey, but it looks like a devil to me. They got more shrines to that Abominable Thing than they do to any god, and walking along the streets of Doroinir Nimloth proper feels like being in the territory of something monstrous, but with taste. You get captured by the elves and they take you into that city, they're probably not making you a slave. Those shrines come with altars, and there are stains on those altars that don't always come from hunted game."   ~Archmage Dulacar, of the The Brass Tower

Physical Description

Body Features

In its natural form, the Abominable resembles an inhumanly tall humanoid figure with a goat's head, red glowing eyes, and six twisted horns growing out of its skull like a diadem. As an archfey, it can change shape almost at will, however, and can appear as almost anything. As symptom of possible narcissistic insanity beyond even most other archfey, the eyes glow bright red regardless of what form it takes, bright enough to match a torch. The use of glamours and subtle mind magic often prevent those interacting with the disguised archfey from noticing the aberration.

Apparel & Accessories

Despite apparently living in the unsheltered orchard on the other side of the Quende Fendassë, the Abominable always wears regal clothing and copious amounts of jewelry. It is assumed that much of this jewelry is magical, though the creature's own magical power makes it difficult to discern what comes from the objects and what comes from the archfey.     The Abominable's ring is a unique Ring of Spell Storing that can store ten levels of spells. It can also cast these spells on its own, requiring no action but a quick thought on the part of the wearer. It is usually loaded up with Shields and Counterspells.     The Abominable's Amulet is a Legendary Contingency Amulet. It can store two spells of up to fifth level, which can be keyed to be triggered by specific events. While worn by the Abominable, it is always keyed to teleport the Abominable to its secret sanctum while simultaneously summoning a Warmonger Devil named Firanz that immediately goes berserk and attempts to kill everything in his vicinity. These spells go off when the Abominable reaches 1/4 of his hit points.     The Abominable's nose ring is a powerful artifact capable of independently casting Abhorrent Missile Swarm at a mere thought from its master. It can do this once before it needs to be recharged by being bathed in the blood of a living enemy after ritual torture.   Abhorrent Missile Swarm 9th level evocation Casting Time: 1 Action Range: every potential target within 100 ft. Components: Material (The blood of a living enemy obtained after at least one hour of ritual torture.) Effect: For every enemy within 100 ft, three magical darts of force appear. These darts fly unerringly towards their target, striking one at a time in rapid succession and dealing 1d6+1 Force damage. A Shield spell cast below 5th level eliminates the first dart but is then destroyed. A Shield spell of 6th or higher level prevents all damage from this spell. If a creature is reduced to 0 hit points before the final dart, remaining darts seek out new targets within range that have withstood the attack.  

Mental characteristics

Personal history

  Adrammalech was the prince of the Summer Court in the Feywild. He served honorably as the heir to the throne for several thousand years, but in the end he began to grow impatient and feral. He began to strike deals with mortals, elves in particular, and to manipulate events on Kobos to set himself up for his glorious conquest of the plane, thereby removing his need for an inheritance altogether. It was him that engineered the Elfblight to unleash on the world, it was him that convinced the elves to flee to the Faywild where he could isolate and manipulate them, and it was him that convinced the elf kings of old to attack men. His ambition and feral attitude has alienated him from the other archfey, and a war may be brewing. He was given the name the Abominable by the King of the Archfey and disinherited.   The Abominable has a long history with the High Elves and the Elasandoril royal family in particular. While it is not necessarily trusted by the elves, they do depend on it for survival both in a routine way and in times of crisis. It is the Abominable that lifts the whole city of Doroinir Nimloth to nestle within his vast orchards in times of crisis on Kobos, and no other elf kingdom has such a close and focused patron in the Feywild.

Gender Identity

As a greater archfey, gender is more a matter of mood for the Abominable and has been a master, a mistress, a husband and wife, it has been both father and mother to a small army of eladrin.

Sexuality

The Abominable takes payment for his patronage in the form of sacrifice. Specifically, elves to be marched through the gates of Quende Fendassë to serve as concubines, wives, and slaves. It is known that it has several thousand wives.

Morality & Philosophy

Over the years, the Abominable has become a self-centered pragmatist with the ultimate goal of building an archfey empire that spans many worlds.

Taboos

The Abominable does not lie (except by omission, which it does judiciously) and does not break agreements. The Abominable will not touch cold-forged iron, and will not break the laws of hospitality as either guest or host.
