The Ancient City of Enker Das
Keywords:
ENKER, ENKER-DAS, ENKER_DAS
Creator and Builder: Ravidya
Lore:
The Ancient ruins of Enker Das were once grand, but now ruins on the summit of the volcanic Scoria Mountain. It is said that long ago Rangda and Enker rules this grand city, but angered the primordial spirits of the Scoria Volcano. The city was a haven of high magic and scholarly pursuit, a place where innovation flourished in combination with magic.
Strictly hierarchical under Rangda and Enker, the city had scholarly nobles who rules over a mass of slaves and servants in a strict caste system. The city fell to ruin when the volcano erupted, yet, parts are protected due to a bargain they made with Seir. In the ruins Nazaroons and Akchazar are found, along with the witches of Rangda and Enker.
The Dungeons are found under the castle, a haven for Rangda and Enker. Within the tunnels under the castle there are temples and cells whre only the most trusted of the rulers were allowed. In the dungeons of Enker Das, hidden beneath the throne of the ancient castle ruins are rakshasas, brahmarakshasaa, vetalas who roam under the command of Ranga and Enker, who still live in service to Seir within a hidden Dungeon Temple.
Important Mobs:
The Bound Archivist: It does not wield a weapon. Instead, it attacks by manipulating the cursed geometry of its domain. It can cause walls to suddenly invert, dropping foes into non-Euclidean pits of ash. It rewrites the local reality with shrieks of discordant, mathematical language, causing psychic damage and confusion. It can animate the very ash into grasping, script-covered hands, or tear "pages" from its own vellum flesh to hurl as razored, spell-burning projectiles. Each of the three heads are a representation of Enker Das's lost knowledge:
1. The Head of Sundered Scrolls: The Jackal Skull. It Spits as and parchment.
2. The Head of Blighted Geometry: A Geode. It Sees in fractals and understands the strange geometries.
3. The Head of the Final Equation: A human head. It has the final and ultimate logic, It knows the number of The Beginning and The End, but cannot speak them because of the molten metals that pours from its mouth and eyes.
Rangda: Once the Deva of Enker Das, she was wed to Enker as a child bride. The ruthlessly worked her way to the top of his harem, eliminating all of her competition. She not only won the heart of Enker, but also became the Deva on her own power. The other queens removed from the city or killed.
Enker: The Born ruler of Enker Das, his full name is Enker Navapatham. The name is passed down by the Devi of Enker Das to the next ruler. Along with the name, comes the curse of the Castle. Each Ruler is connected to the castle, their heart replaced with the core stone of power. This was a curse placed upon them long ago by Seir, who gave them dominion in exchange for their magical essence. It was this exchange that allowed the city to be partially saved from the Eruption.
