The * Frilond * Campaign
Powers
Five, The (The Lords of Law, the Lords of Order, the Kings on High, the Five Kings, the Founders, the Quinary, etc.).
The supreme Power in Pentian cosmology; the Five are a force of ultimate Law. They are never depicted physically in art or named in writing. They are the Five-in-One, the Indivisible, and are always described as a single Power. They are distant, omnipotent, and unknowable. The Five do not interact directly with humans in the material world; the saints intercede on behalf of mortal men.
Hacamuli.
A horrid abomination, summoned to this world and then bound beneath Lorn Abbey. Appears as an emaciated, sore-covered black horse that stands on two legs.
Shaithim, The (the Old Ones, the Cursed Ones, the Nighted Ones, the Worms, the Foul Worms, the Elder Worms, the Worms of the Pit, etc.).
The infernal counterparts to the Five, the Shaithim are said to be the worms who originally tempted Larith and Canem. The Shaithim are the black princes of all fiends, and are said to be imprisoned in a great mountain of ice at the center of Perdition. They are lords of deception, and they are able to corrupt men. They are the embodiment of chaos and evil. They are masters of illusions, necromancy, and conjuration magic. All good Pentian souls in Frilond hate and fear the Shaithim; they are the Five's black counterpart. Witches and foul monsters venerate the Old Ones, as do intelligent beasts and other lowly things.
