Infernals

Overview
Anger, hatred, envy. They lurk in every corner of the healthy soul. Ever worming, squirming, attempting to infiltrate the cognitive processes. They are rarely able to. For are they not mere physiological reactions pitted against the full might of Anwar's immortal light? The answer is no. Not always. Not for those who have never been touched. For those who are hunted there is no such refuge in the light. Pursued day and night. Persecuted for crimes they had no intentions or necessarily recollections of committing. For some the punishment seems daunting but fair. For others, it is a grave injustice.

It is for these individuals where emotions will run rampant. Entering the void where the Shardgods reign, the Darkling's cognitive constraints are removed and a flaring fury tears them apart. Their visions of violence allowed to fully manifest within their minds. Their hatred for their fellow kin and their false moral codes overcomes all reason in their minds. Their envy of the peaceful lives of mortals will consume them. And they will want revenge. Their realms will warp into reflections of their resentment. Molten wastelands and volcanoes will take shape, with towering, black fortresses and torture-posts the only varieties in the barren landscape. Demons will spring forth, birthed from the magma which runs through the soil of these sweltering realms. And the Infernal will lead them to inflict pain and misery on those who have wronged him.

Infernals do not only draw enjoyment from the pain of their victims, but also draw power therefrom. Should their opponents commit an atrocity or be overcome by carnal desire it is like a lock being broken to the Infernal. Raw immaterial light will seep from their minds and the Infernal will weave this energy into ever more potent acts of aggression. And while the Infernals' foes are strong of will, the Infernals know just how to break them. Each and every one.
