Lords of Hell

-9 circles
-lords of lower circles outrank lords of higher circles.
-within their own circles, lords cannot be challenged except by entities foreign to Hell. Thus even Elshtin is subservient to A'axkor within A'axkor's domain.
-these lords determine the hierarchy of their servants through whatever means they care to use.

A'axkor, Drowned Thunder

- Grave, Tempest, Twilight. A'axkor's physical appearance is that of a collosal deep blue sea serpent. Her massive form is easily capable of causing tidal waves through violent thrashing, though her epithet is better attributed to her command of lightning and her deafening bellow. Despite her appearance, A'axkor is generally considered a friend to sailors, with her final gift to people of the sea being a calm respite within her oceanic domain. Her symbol is that of a coiled snake.

Kreda, Soul Manipulator

- Grave, Life, Arcana. Kreda's manipulation of souls excludes her own, though she seems very willing to modify her physical form. Attended by various golems, it would seem that occasionally being attended was insuficient, or so one might speculate by the various parts of flesh golems that have been fused into Kreda's form. Whether these once living entities are truly part of her is anyone's guess. Kreda's obsession with the soul precludes the idea of immortality. The creation of artificial life and observation of death, true death, are what drives Kreda. Kreda's symbol is that of a caduceus.

Pishtol, Verdant Progenitor

- Peace, Life, Nature. Pishtol bears the appearance of a moss covered wood dryad. Within the vines of her hair, various small birds make their nests while other critters like squirrels seem to dart about her form. Various flowers blossom on her figure. Her presence, while soothing, is for many a powerful soporific, and many seem to find the moss beneath their feet suddenly seems incredibly soft and inviting, the gentle breeze seemingly providing a blanket, it is trivial to let conciousness slip away. Pishtol's holy symbol is a flower.

Lega, Queen of the Valkyries

- Tempest, Knowledge, War. Lega shares many similarities with a harpy: feathered wings, sharp talons, eagle like eyes, and owl like ears to name a few, but where Harpies lure and trick their opponents to death and flee from fair fights, Lega is naught if not honorable. Her powerful wings control the winds themselves and her descent upon the enemy is heralded by hurricane speed winds and air funnels, though such a descent is never premature. Lega's scouts are ever present within her realm, and this approach to battle is encouraged amongst her followers. Lega's symbol is single feather.

Iwek, Fire Incarnate

- Forge, Light, Knowledge. Iwek bears the appearance of a massive Fire Elemental. While his form is mutable and can shift to accomadate his needs in the moment, Iwek most frequently has a head with a 'standard humanoid' setup (forward facing eyes, mouth, etc), two arms, and a body that 'rolls' around, though a frequent addition is a tendril acting as prehensile tail. Iwek has immense respect for fellow craftsman and is fascinated by the creations of mortals, especially those that would be destroyed by his essence if he were not careful. Iwek's symbol is that of a flame.

Tor, The Terminus

- Death, Nature, Order. Tor is covered in the fungus, moss, and insects that occupy his realm, obscuring his true form, though it is clear he has various tendrils that can extend across large distances. Tor towers above mortals in every dimension, though he seems to mostly remain at rest and speaks in short burts or telapathically. Visitors are cautioned to stay strictly within certain bounds, so as to not disturb the order of Tor's realm. Tor's symbol is that of a fungus.

Zyzek, Lord of Undeath

- Death, Forge, Twilight. Zyzek is a monstrous creature bearing the head of a black-green-red dragon atop a long scaled neck that can extend or retract at will. The neck itself is attached to a mass of bones eminanting a noxious miasma. When Zyzek moves, the soft sound of millions of tiny feet skittering across the ground can be heard. Zyzek's symbol is a skull with flaming eyes.

Brayort, Whispered Lord

- War, Trickery, Knowledge. Bearing a humanoid shape, Brayort is wrapped up in various cloths to such a degree that no part of his skin or body is visable. Atop his head, Brayort wears a large Asian Conical Hat (note: Asia is not a thing here, but descriptions still need to happen) from which a heavy veil of mist seems to continuously descend, further obscuring his figure. The cloth ends of his clothes seem to meld into the mist at times. When Brayort speaks, the whispered voice doesn't seem to eminate from his body, but from all around the listener. Brayort is no light-hearted trickster; trickery, deception, cunning, deceit, these are powerful weapons to be deployed within warfare and their potency enhanced through knowledge. There is no one symbol to Brayort, as to do so would be an open declaration. While at times such a declaration is desirable, requiring it hardly behoves a follower of Brayort. Only followers of Brayort can discern if something might be a sign of the enigmatic Lord, though the universally understood symbol is a cloaked figure. Followers of Brayort might have pseudo imitations to other deities, though they are careful to not appear mocking in this practice.

Elshtin, Shining Light

- Arcana, Light, Order. Elshtin, a being of pure Light, communicates via flashes of light. Capable of perfectly controlling light, this is easily accomplished for any creature that can see. Elshtin's symbol is that of a shining star (4 larger point NSEW, with 4 smaller points on diagonals).
