"If you stare into the abyss... remember your spectacles, you don't want to miss anything."
The Abyss is infinitely vast and infinitely vile in Its diversity. This is a contest to see whom can craft the most interesting specimen within Its chaotic layers. Is it the shepherd of the doomed, a harvester of souls, a guardian in a demonic citadel, a worm of corpses, a sentient war engine, a demonic hydra, or a foot soldier of the apocalypse? Wizards and scholars alike engage in this heretical research into one of the most forbidding realms of occult lore: compiling a demography.
