Mind Lord
M
ind lords, also known as ceremorphs, are
sinister beings that live in subterranean
networks of caverns and tunnels. These
malevolent, psychic creatures feast on the
brains of sentient beings and seek to dominate lesser
races through mind control and enslavement. With
their squid-like heads and disturbing, alien intelligence,
mind lords are a terrifying force to be reckoned with.
Aberrant Origins
Mind lords are believed to have originated from another
plane, with some legends suggesting they once led a
powerful empire that spanned the cosmos. Over time,
their empire crumbled, leaving them stranded in the
deep and forgotten places of the universe, where they
adapted and thrived in the darkness. As a result, mind
lords are often found in remote and isolated regions,
working in secret to expand their influence and rebuild
their lost empire.
Mind lords have humanoid bodies, but their heads
resemble those of squids or octopuses, with many
tentacles surrounding a circular tooth-filled maw. Their
skin is typically mauve or purplish-blue, and is covered
in a slimy mucus. An adult mind lord stands between 6
and 7 feet tall, with a slender build. Their eyes are pale
white and devoid of pupils, and they possess incredible
psychic powers.
Enslaved Slavers
Mind lord society is built around the Prime Cerebrum,
a massive brain that holds the collective consciousness
of hundreds of thousands of deceased mind lords.
The Prime Cerebrum resides in a brine pool and
communicates telepathically with its ceremorph
subjects, guiding and controlling the community. Mind
lords are organized into colonies, with each individual
working towards the goals of the colony and the will of
the Prime Cerebrum that controls it.
CHAPTER 1 | Mind lord 4

Mind lords do not worship gods in the traditional
sense, instead revering the Prime Cerebrum as a Unexpected Thrall

Serpentfolk
A
rising from the unholy union of ancient
humanoids and serpents, serpentfolk rank
among the most devious and insidious beings
inhabiting the forgotten corners of the world.
These enigmatic entities, melding humanoid and
reptilian features, utilize their sinister allure and
formidable magic to manipulate and dominate those
they encounter.
Offspring of the Serpent

Serpentfolk exhibit a diverse array of appearances,
from humanoid figures with subtle snake-like attributes
to more monstrous forms, where the distinction
between human and reptile blurs. Their bodies
frequently display scales, slit-like eyes, and elongated
fangs, with some even boasting serpentine tails
in lieu of legs.
The origins of serpentfolk lie within ancient
civilizations that succumbed to the influence of
primordial serpent deities. Through sinister rituals
and taboo experiments, these bygone societies
endeavored to merge their forms with those of their
venerated serpent gods, ultimately giving rise to the
serpentfolk of today.
Adept Schemers and

Manipulators
Serpentfolk are infamous for their cunning and
deceit, and are skilled at orchestrating complex plans
and intrigues to further their enigmatic objectives.
They commonly reside in concealed cities or
forsaken temples, scheming to reclaim the splendor
of their ancient empires and extend their dominion
across the world.
Boasting remarkable intellect and charisma,
serpentfolk are proficient in a multitude of languages
and possess a deep understanding of arcane arts. They
leverage their vast knowledge and captivating charm to
subjugate others, forging extensive networks of spies,
cultists, and minions to fulfill their sinister aims.
