Andhakāra, Goddess of the Abyss

Andhakāra, Goddess of the Abyss

Domains & Aspects:

The Abyss, darkness, shadows, secrecy, concealment, hiding from danger, rightful vengeance.

Symbols:

A cats eye with raven wings; black handled dagger with a black rose crossed over it; a blue flame with a black center.

Realm:

The Abyssal Rift, a part of and serves as the primary gate of The Deep Abyss. A vast and disquieting realm of endless darkness, where the air shimmers faintly with blacklight and shadow-flame like it's grass, with spires that reach into nothingness. The ground is uneven and fractured in some areas, like jagged glass and basalt, with cracks that seep a dim, eerie blue fire that burns cold. The end of the realm bleeds seamlessly into The Deep Abyss, it being walled off from other planes and realms by a physical manifestation of darkness with a large gate covered in symbols and runes. Near the heart of the Rift lies her fortress, the Umbracrown, a towering citadel seemingly hewn from the abyss itself, with black stone like walls, floating blue-black, indigo and light blue flames that do not warm, but give off light.

Personality:

Andhakāra is mysterious and unfathomable, her presence carrying the stillness of a shadowed sea. Stern, thoughtful, oddly slightly nice, she speaks with clarity and weight, as if every word is carved from the abyss itself. Though often distant and straightforward, she is never cruel without reason, her justice is cold, deliberate and inescapable. As guardian and gatekeeper of The Deep Abyss, she embodies both its silence and its fury, a patient watcher of hidden truths, yet capable of unleashing shadows and blackfire with merciless precision when provoked. To those who approach with respect, she is a quiet protector, offering sanctuary in the dark, to those who trespass or betray, she becomes like the abyss itself, endless, consuming and absolute.

Appearance:

Resembles a tall elven woman with dark, blueish purple skin, silvery lavender glowing eyes, long purple black hair, wears black hooded light armor made from materials found in The Deep Abyss.
