Y'chak
called The Violet Flame, was unique among the Elder Evils in that it actively took an interest in the development of life, or, more precisely, in the development of the destruction of life. It was a muse and inspiration for all that was destructive and ruinous, making its presence felt on civilizations throughout time. It was known to actively encourage the worship of evil deities, and the aboleths thought that deities of war and cruelty and death came to be because of Y'chak's machinations. It typically appeared to people as a seductive or respectable person of the same race, but its true form was that of some kind of cosmic cross between a starfish and a squid covered in eyes, a form so horrifying that seeing it invited the complete destruction of the body and soul. Aboleths honored Y'chak by crafting massive pillars of violet flame that burned even underwater; they used the pulsing and writhing of such pillars to mark the passage of time, or even to send simple messages to the entire city at once.
