Realm of Purple Clouds/Poison Dreams

Lord of Tethered Mouths

Uhp-Ongyharth N’whi (Bloody Lord of the Tethered Mouths)

The Lord of the Tethered Mouths is a floating monstrosity resembling a nightmarish jellyfish. It’s realm, is a nighmare landscape of dust, poisonous methane gas, mist, and not a single cave or access to underground for protection against his kind. The tethered mouths roam, silent and dormant until prey below them stimulates them. The great beast sheds spores as it moves too, spores which produce a foul mold which covers and consumes all living matter.

In far away realms and times, a great evil priest named Skzaryh Ikhateon of Iest, of an an evil people bred the spores with a fearsome undersea creatures called “Orange Drop Suns” sacred to their goddess Elancil. The result, using fertility magics, the priest gained grim powers and produced a demonic offspring of the Tethered Mouths. The priest then taught the secret of summoning the offspring to the prinzes of the Empire – a secret passed down the line of emporers but mostly forgotten now.

They fly in a place known as the Hall of Purple Clouds. While not a literal “hall”, it is a place where the damned wander to from the Halls of the Dead. It is a series of caverns where the Petasuoi dwell on high ledges, hidden by drifting purple clouds of noxious gas, swooping down on their prey, taking the lost souls high and then dropping them. The landscape surface looks and feels like bruised skin and the air is thick, almost fluid. It is difficult to breathe and those traveling through it siffer a myriad of health and sanity crippling effects. If fear had a smell, the air stinks of it. The whole place is lit by a sourceless purplish glow.

The Petasuoi

These are demons of a sort themselves, though not native to the Hall of Purple Clouds. Some ofther force, perhaps enemies of the evil priest who created them, brought them to the realm where they dwell. They are demonic birds with leathery wings, oily tail feathers and a bronze colored razor hook on the top of their bills. They ply under and around the Tethered Mouths, shredding them and avoiding them with their great speed and dexterity – plus being immune ot their poison.
