Chernabog
The Black God (a.k.a. Chernevog, Czernobog, Chornoboh, Crnobog, Tchernobog, Zcerneboch)
As recorded in the Knýtlinga saga of Varaskien, written shortly after the conquest by the Impilturian Empire, as a dark accursed deity of fire and shadow. This being commanded hordes of marauding demonic forces that brought death and destruction in a time before the Convergence , subduing the North to its will.
Later, another piece of accounts known as the Chronica Sclavorum, records the interaction that the Impilturians had nearly 1000 years after the Knýtlinga saga with the same entity. It recounts a second demonic invasion that had its inception in the Vast, deep within a desolate mountain that would later be known as Mount Balor. The Kalnori people were the first victims of the monsters, and only by the valor of droves of heroes was eventually the demonic threat sated, and their leader kept in a newly built prison known as the Devil's Vault, a great tower in the middle of the Vast rendered impenetrable, with the entity kept at it's bottom depth.
This creature mentioned both times was the balor Chernabog, an incredibly powerful breed of abyssal demon second only to the demon lords themselves. Twice did Chernabog invade the north Sea of Fallen Stars, bringing the destructive power of its home with it, on a scale that only the Great Red Wyrm Vyin'denar could compete with. It is theorized that the demon and the dragon may be in cooperation, as the two both attempted to subdue the same piece of land.
It came under the charge of the Impilturian Empire to keep both of these monstrosities caged, but with the Empire now dissolved into a scattered number of warring kingdoms, perhaps the time has come for the horrors of fire to break free of their chains, as their repugnant followers grow in number, like termites devouring a house and multiplying as they do.
Without a unifying force of good, can Chernabog be stopped should he be freed?
Physical Description
Body Features
Chernabog appears as a massive humanoid shape built of a shroud of pitch shadows, wrapped and coiled around a scalding red core that formed the demon's body. The body of the demon is a mass of powerful red muscles and flesh, giving a gigantic silhouette to the creature. Extending out from Chernabog's back are two huge bat-like wings covered in ebony horns and barbs along the bones. Huge black horns extend around a crimson head like a bull's, with razor sharp fangs filling the horrific smiling face of the demon, with piercing yellow eyes leering out from the shadows that enrapture its form.
