Artitengh is the Outsider God of Divine Magic and Inherent Power
A mysterious and elusive being, Artitengh is one of the oldest beings known to interact with Aanrah, often thought to be only younger than Kht’oth. It appears as a snake-like being that is continuously eating itself, covered in pale white eyes. Often viewed through a reflective surface or sometimes seen in the surface of the ocean, Artitengh exists in another layer of reality - one in which he takes up all space that is available to him. It is thought that if someone were o ever manage to summon him into Aanrah’s reality, Artitengh would expand to fill up all of this reality’s space, inevitebly destroying it in the process.
Only sought by those looking for power regardless of the cost and those looking to understand the realities beyond this one, Artitengh is known to be fully uncaring of the well being and safety of mortal beings, and only interested in doing what will entertain him the most. They thrive in the chaos caused by their actions, and really could care less what destruction and mayhem might befall the world.
It is said that those who touch Artitengh’s scales will unlock their inner power - but what that is is entirely unknown, even to Artitengh. As the god of inherent and divine power, Artitengh rules over the internal aspect native to all beings and things, which is what allows beings to conjure magic and preform otherwise extraordinary / supernatural feats without the use of actual spellcasting. For normal beings, however, this can ultimately become almost anything - the divine aspect of non-divine beings is rarely developed or honed enough to direct to any one source, as it might if they ascended to divinity. Instead, touching Artitengh is much akin to reaching into a bag of random superpowers that can range from perfect control over powerful aspects of reality to extremely niche case trigger powers that will randomly kill the user when they finally activate.
For this reason, Artitengh truly delights in letting anyone who works through the effort to reach him touch him. The chaos that results from whatever their power might be - useful or not - entertains Artitengh greatly.
He only speaks in Weg’olw’chyen, despite being able to understand and speak any language.
