They are an entity that reflects the powers of Conviction through Essence. This deity has affirmed participation in The Godspeak Accord. They are part of the pantheon of Darkness, The Unholy Trio. Everdark is chief among their number. IT is his ambition, focus, discipline and drive that unite the Unholy Trio. He developed the Ritual that contained the dark abyss of Kauket – stolen by Gloombringer – into the Curtain of Night to protect his chosen people of the Orrish from the Sun-Bane of Helca. Everdark’s servants are often found making a Blood and Souls Offering of light dwellers to appease the entities of the The Dark Rift/Outer Drkness that power the Curtain of Night. All summons by servants of the Unholy Trio are empowered by Abzu’s Night and its dark compact.
