Nyarlathotep

Nyarlathotep is an antagonist in the campaign. He is a being of many faces and has lived an incredibly long life in service of his god.

Appearance
Nyarlathotep is able to shift his form at will. He often appears as a man wearing black, but he has appeared to Carter in the form of a large monstrosity.

Personality
Nyarlathotep appears to delight in violence and in other being's demise as seen when Carter received a smug feeling from him upon seeing the carcass of the Starworm. He is very condescending in his attitude towards Carter, and seems to enjoy testing him. Nyarlathotep would never give Carter a straight answer to questions, just hints and open-ended answers. He revels in his own accomplishments and enjoys one step ahead of his opponents.

Presence in Drakken Star
So far, Nyarlathotep has been a major presence as the liaison between Carter and his warlock patron. He usually appears to Carter in visions for conversations.

Based on evidence found in the Black Ziggurat on Namulith that was translated by Carter, and Nyarlathotep's own admission, he has spent countless years wandering the world as a "Prophet." He would spread visions of awe and horror, and whisper prophecies of a Promised Land to gain followers.

The Cult of Nyarlathotep
The Cult of Nyarlathotep is a mysterious cult that quickly spread among the orcs and consumed every facet of orc culture. A prophet dressed in black robes came to the orcs and showed them magical devices and technological wonders. He came with promises of an orc renaissance of both awe and horror, and he preached of a god and a Promised Land that the orcs would be delivered to. The sole purpose of this cult was to achieve the end of this world so a new promised land could be realized.

Sebastian comes to suspect that the decimation of the orc people might have something to do with this cult.
