Lilith - Daemon of Salvath

Lilith is a Daemon of Archfiend descent, the daughter of Salvath, the deity of death and father of the undead. She is considered the proto-Liche, tethering parts of her soul to various objects hidden in the mortal plane in case she is ever killed. Scholars believe Lilith was the first practitioner of this type of soul manipulation and this tradition passed onto her original followers, whom became the first undead Liches.

Physical Description

Physical quirks

Lilith's body contains multiple physical quirks. Scholars believe she was born looking like a Moon Elf, her mortal mother's race. Multiple theories exist as of why her appearance changed over time. Her adult form is considered mutated, that of a pale skinned, black haired woman with black feather-like protrusions coming out of her arms. The feathers are believed to be a genetic mutation taking form of the Moon Elf origin, being originally Avariel, the original winged elves. Her other abnormal mutations may also be a result of her abilities with soul manipulation as a proto-Liche.

Special abilities

As a Daemon, Lilith has the common abilities that all daemons possess, such as the following:
  • Realm Walk: The ability to travel to different realms and their various planes of existence with ease and no use of a portal, including the Netherworld and the Aethereal Realm. Some Daemons are better at this than others but all contain this ability.
  • Astral Manipulation: The ability to manipulate the astral energy of a living being and allowing them to project their astral form on the physical plane. They can allow others to be able to use temporarily astral projection or block others from astral projecting, sending them back to their bodies if they had already projected.
  • Soul Enhance: Like with necromancers and conjurers, Daemons can summon and bind spirits of all kinds. But unlike them, they bind them to their own body to temporarily gain physical enhancements or learn new abilities without practice. Ex: Binding a fire spirit allows them to use the skill of basic fire manipulation. Ex2: Binding the spirit of an ancient warrior grants some of the spirit's combat instincts.
In addition to these basic abilities, Lilith is an expert at taking Astral Manipulation to the next level, being able to tether her own soul to objects through an intense ritual, allowing her soul to survive and, over time, revive herself in her physical form. However, her most notable ability comes from her hunger for power. The ability to consume the souls of those she seduces or of those she drives into madness, which strengthens her own soul and abilities.

Apparel & Accessories

Historical documents describe her typical clothing as being a black and purple dress, containing feathers around her torso/breasts, splits down the sides of the lower section, leather straps and black heeled boots. Additional, some documents describe an amulet made of an unknown, possibly Aetherium, metal with a glowing greenish blue gemstone in the center. It is unknown if it was that of an Aetherium Gemstone or not.
