Aesaron: an Elder Evil God

This deity is composed of a mass of pure evil energy. It has always existed and it is sometimes called The Eternal Evil. It has been expelled from the world of Dungeon Fantasy because it is a force of pure destructive evil. Both gods and demons will fight against this being. Aesaron has no description but it can take many guises. Those who worship this being are insane and often suicidal yet fanatically devoted to it. They view all of existance with loathing and wish nothing more than to destroy existance and for this reason they are often associated with demons and other malign creatures in order to further thier goals of destruction. The worshippers were often good and moral persons before their fall. These worshippers often endured soul wrenching tragedies such as deaths of loved ones, guilt, humiliation, isolation, and alienation. They curse the very fabric of existance and wish all to be destroyed for they believe if they can release Aesaron, he will destroy all of creation including their souls so that they will suffer no longer. They know that if they fail, they will be cast into Hell for eternity, so they are absolutely ruthless in their goals.

The temples of the worshippers often reflect the nihlism of the Aesaron's followers, it is often horrific with depictions of endless carnage, leering demonic faces and undead motifs. The Elder Evil often relieves the pain of the worshippers while they commit great acts of mindless evil. It is often said that lone archers who shoot down innocents in public squares are under the influence of the Elder Evil.

Fortunately, the cult members of this god are small in number as Aesaron is truely, utterly and insanely evil. Sometimes however, cult members of this god will secretly ally with demon worshippers in order to wage hideously evil acts on society.

Aesaron's aspects are evil, insanity, hopelessness, despair, depression, isolation, destruction, entropy, decay and nihlism. The followers hope that by releasing this god and allowing it to destroy creation their souls will be anihilated freeing them from the suffering of existance.
