White Whale

Spirit of weave

The White Whale, also known as the Beast of the Silver Void, is a massive beast resembling a white whale that had the ability to fly. The White Whale keep on terrorizing planar travelers for centuries, devouring merchants, armies, and even towns and cities.   The five primordial elemental spirits (air, earth, fire, water, weave) are often referred to as the princes of the apocalypse.

Characteristics

Physical features

The White Whale was estimated to be around fifty meters long and had skin as hard as stone that scattered magical energy from incoming attacks, dulling their force. It had a large curved horn protruding from its forehead and a wheel-like sigil on its back that allowed it to fly. Its eyes were usually yellow but would turn red when it felt threatened.  

Abilities

The White Whale can release two types of mist from the glands across its body: the Mist of Mental Contamination, which caused pain in the minds of its victims, and the Mist of Elimination, which could erase victims and their memories from the surroundings. The White Whale also had the power to break the spirits of those who were unprepared with its roar and could spawn clones to split its power and weight during heavy attacks.  

Worship

Those elemental spirits are worshiped by certain creatures and cults. The methods for summoning elemental spirits remain hidden in forbidden tomes or inscribed on the walls of lost temples raised to honor the spirits. Only casters of superlative skill have even the faintest chance of calling forth one of these spirits, and the spellcaster is often destroyed by the effort. Thus, only the most unhinged and nihilistic members of Elemental Evil cults attempt such a summoning, in the hope of hastening the world toward some cataclysmic end. Releasing the White Whale from the Inner Planes creates an explosion of silvery mist that spreads across the sky, causing pain in the mind of people, and making them forget their loved ones..

History

In the beginning, the world that would become known as Toriel was ruled by the elementals. The five princes of the apocalypse, who each ruled over innumerable lesser spirits, constantly clashed with one another on the surface of the primordial world.   When the gods arrived, the Elder Elementals saw the invaders as a threat to their dominion. For the first time in Toriel's history, the native spirits of the world worked together against a common enemy.   Eventually, however, the world could not stand the princes of the apocalypse power, and with the help of the gods, they were banned out of Toriel. The essence of these primordial beings fractured into the elemental planes, where they were reborn as elder elementals—now known as the Princes of the Apocalypse.
