Areth Voidbringer

"This terrifying being is more of a monster than a god! I spit on his name and wish him gone. Those who choose to challenge him be wary, that false deity will bring you nothing but misery."

Physical Description & Info
Areth is one of the false gods of Rathnir's plane. Claiming to be a god wielding great power of the void, he takes on a serpentine shape possessing an intimidating and demonic skull, skeletal dragon wings, three long serpentine spines trailing off of the shorter spine running from his skull, and capping it off with arms and other body parts he can seemingly shape entirely out of the void energy resonating from him.

Some have said his shape gives off a grotesque feeling and has gained an unnerving stature for those who challenged him. Areth claims to be a god due to his size, reputation, and the power he has gained from dealings with the void. Creating his own plane, known as the "Void Gates", there he houses his power and tears holes through other realms to give the void access.

The Dawning of a Demon
Areth had manifested as a serpentine dragon of the sea and sky. He had beautiful scales and glorious wings, with two horns glowing with blue. His eyes shined with purple and his scales glittered with the colors blending into the sky.

Soaring gracefully through the winds endlessly searching for obedience and respect from the lowly mortals he had found. Areth soon grew hateful of these mortals as they denied him his respect and fended him off with arrows and fire. Taking refuge in the seas, Areth’s fire of hate started to burn and grow. He grew hungry for power and sought it out.

Areth dived deep into the sea in search of power. He began to hear strange voices that drew him closer to the dark depths of the water. He journeyed down, and the voices grew louder. Further down he went, following the guidance of the voices, now promising him the great power he seeks. Blinded by power and deafened by dark influence, Areth had reached the void, a dark abyss beyond the depths of the sea.

Seeing nothing but darkness, hearing nothing but silence, Areth had found himself trapped within the abyss. A god had called his name, not in sight, only in mind. Promising him great power, if he brought the god what it asked for… souls.

Death for Power
Areth had been brought back to the mortal plane, given the power to slay and absorb the souls of mortals. He killed all mortals in sight, giving them no mercy, and all the torment he could inflict. He had gained much power from his heinous deeds, and the more power he gained, the more the god had increased the price.

He had slain mortals, corrupted spirits, and even tormented his own kin, all for power. Soon, the price had reach an immense height. He was now required to give the void access to other realms, in order to absorb and completely annihilate them. To him, this task was simple, as the powerful dragon he was, especially with the power of the void.

Open the Door for Your Demons
Areth had constructed a plane with his immense power, that soon many would call the “Void Gates”. There, he began to use his power to rip holes through the realms the void had wished for. Knowing what would happen to them, Areth lost all the care he once possessed. His scales and the flesh of his wings faded, leaving a skeleton, and developing demented tails from his own serpentine body.

Areth, now a cursed abomination, grew arrogant, losing himself in the endless sea of power, doomed to drown. He challenged the mortals of Rathnir’s plane and dominated those who brought no match. He began to inflict unbelievable torment upon even the most innocent of souls. Areth, now a cursed, horrifying, dreadful demon, awaits his next challenge… in the Void Gates.
