The Namad Mahorelah

Here is the Lore of the Abyss, the great sin, the forbidden art – and the paradox itself! Here is the lore of the soaring spirit, of unrestrained passion that is yet utterly materialistic in its aims. With the Namad Mahorelah it is always the ends that justify the means, because if the Ell are here to rule, if the ladder of creation is to be climbed, then let it be so. There is no sin, for sin is expiated through power. The greater you become, the more you understand and the less such simplistic considerations hold sway.

Those that follow the lore, the Argedith, can send their minds into the Mahorelah and bring back forces, fires, winds, waters and even creatures, for mastery of the lore brings with it mastery of all that dwells deep within in the abyss.

But here is the warning. There are mighty forces in the deeps, great powers that are untameable save by a mighty and savage will. And there are the Ashar themselves, the gods of the Mahorelah. Here is power on a scale to terrify the imagination, power enough to wipe out all life across the length and breadth of the world, for the Ashar are singular and have terrible desires, and they cannot be contained by the mind of a mere Ell. Wisely is it said:

“Call only on the lesser, lest the greater refuse to answer and command more than you.”
