Black Herald of Everdark

Steel Realms
Black Heralds of Everdark are fiends, powerful and calculating devils that are bound to the service of the goals of The Unholy Trio.

Specifically, they are Everdarks’ heralds (in service to all the gods of darkness though) – they gather intelligence and coordinate purposed raiding with the priests of darkness and heads of the Orrish tribes/clans (that’s not just done for random fear/terror); They will report back, fleeing if possible by flight. Their intelligence makes them the leaders of expeditions into lands of light – they are not affected by the Sun-Bane. The heralds, when summoned with a special ritual known only to the High Priests of Everdark, are imbued with a portion of The Mind Beyond – they require no rest or sleep for long periods. They leave an faint infernal smell when they linger in an area and the most powerful from records are capable of invoking an extremely potent version of the Hungerdouse Effect. It is said that the summoning and training of these was part of the Herald of the Entourage of Shadow.

Attendants of the Black Heralds: The Attendants of the Black Heralds are typically goblins – minor priests of the Unholy Trio that are bound to the herald by a ritual of blood magic. On their forehead, they were branded. Thus symbolized that they were not to be killed. It is the herald’s eyes and ears – the herald could take in their senses like a familiar.
