Difference between revisions of "Unmade"

 

The names of the Unmade are similar to those of demons/false gods in the Judeo-Christian tradition. [[Nergaoul]] is similar to Nergal, a Babylonian war god, and [[Moelach]] is similar to Moloch, a Carthaginian god to whom children were supposedly sacrificed. Re-Shephir is similar to Resheph, a Caananite god of darkness and pestilence. Dai-gonarthis is similar to the Phoenician sea-god Dagon. It has been speculated that there is some connection between the names of the Unmade and their powers. Nergaoul causes the [[Thrill]], and is similar to a war god. Moelach prompts [[Taravangian]] to kill the weak, and is similar to Moloch, to whom children were sacrificed. Re-Shephir is called the "Midnight Mother" and might have created the shadow-creatures known as [[Midnight Essence|Midnight Essences]] , which would be appropriate for a deity of darkness. Dai-gonarthis bears the title "Black Fisher," which is appropriate for a sea god.
