Lilith, Arch Succubus of Excess and Hedonism, The Queen of the Third
Queen of the Succubi, King of the Inccubi, The Mistress of Endless Pleasure, Lady of the Sighing Tents, The Ravager, The Master of Pain and Pleasure, The Endless Thirst
Finding pleasure in things is not sinful by any means. Pleasure is but a natural feeling mortals experince, and even being a commissure of pleasures isn't sinful either. Joy is not sinful, but Lilith is far more than just pleasure and joy. Devils and their ilk are the extremes of emotions, driven to the most insane, horriffying levels, and that is where Lilith resides. She is not pleasurable hedonism, she is pleasure and hedonism in excess. She is what the maddening desire to sate ones lust, she is the one who makes those who seek pleasure need more and more of it the further down the pit of depravity they fall. She is the forgoing of everything in life but ones own pleasure, without any thought to others. She is so much more than a god of sex, she is the queen of pain and hedonism to such great heights that it drives the brain mad. There is no moral restriction to pleasure, every taboo is accepted, every vice is something to be pursued, and every deviant act is a blessing.
None know if she is one of the most ancient demons, or one of the more recent ones, as her ability to take on any form make it impossible to know. Some say she was an angel that ate of a cursed apple, that drove her mad and caused her to devour the head of a snake and slaughter her angelic kindred before being cast down. Some say the third layer was a layer of the gluttonous before Lilith came and morphed it into more than just one excessive pleasure. Her realm (known as Ednivari) is unlike the others, a sprawling land of the most beautiful forests with tents in forest clearings for the young lovers to fumble at each others clothes. A land of oppulent palaces and perfect gardens. Of birds chirpping innocnet music and where pleasure is the purpose of life. It is a land where the finest wine makes up the water of the rivers, and the most beautiful demons and devils cater to ones every desire known and unkown, but all of this is hiding the true horror of the land, and the feast of souls these infernal spawn partake in. Lilith resides upon a grand adn oppuleant palace, made of the most beautiful marble and akin more to a cathedral mixed with a castle than a lair of pain. It is said one must pass several tests of temptation before they can even arrive to the gates of her palace she claled the Thelemic Cathedral. Once inside, they can gaze upon her, and not a single soul has done so without going mad and either tearing out their eyes and throat, or pledging themselves to Lilith before their feeble mind simply expodes on itself. Take heed, for the Queen of Succubi is not one to be underestimated, for her children have perfected the art of pain and torture, and if one can hear past the sighs and moans of delight, they can hear screams. Screams uncounted, screams of horror and pain, and yet screams that seem to revel and love the pain they are subjected too.
Lilith is perhaps one of the most popular Arch-Devils, and her cults are all over the place. The secret worship of Liltih is especially popular amongst the rich, who are able to afford the secrecy and to experience far more than the peasants of the world. These cults could be dedicated to pleasures of the flesh, artist groups, drug users, and other such vices people may fixate on. All are welcome to the cults of Lilith, as long as they dedicated themselves to pursuing pleasure and excess to the farthest and most dark degree it can possibly go. Hers is the cults of charasmatic charmers, and only the minions of the Arch Devil of Deciet can match the lies of the honeyed words and silken lips of Liliths children.

Pleasure, Excess, Taboo Delights, Pain, Torture, Flesh, Decadence, Corruption
Tenets of Faith
- The pursuit of experience is an end in itself. Look beyond that which is safe and customary to know the true pleasures and pains inherent in Lilith.
- Glorify Lilith by awakening desire in all. Make no distinction between class or station. All are potential children of Lilith.
- All pleasure brings honor to Lilith. Mind or body, if it advances sensation, do it
- There is nothing that shouldn't be develd into. What one wants shall be law, let no law hold your desire and happiness back
- Above all, seek the pleasure for yourself, as pleasure helps you live a far more comfortable life
Divine Goals & Aspirations
To drown in endless pleasure, to corrupt more and more to her realm of decadence and horror. Unlike most of the other Arch-Devils, she is more content to simply bask in her realm and enjoy the pleasures, but she is still perfectly capable of doing war with her enemies and sending inccursions to corrupt the mortal realm.
