#kovaud

Let's never forget the time my players found a very old grave that had the words "Here Lies Asmodeus" on it and dug it up.

Some fucked up worldbuilding I've done is the culture of fish people in my world have a lineage that resemble anglerfish. And yes. They reproduce the exact same way. There's a famous in-world romance novel written about it too.

The aboleths of Kovaud are an older species of demon. When a community find themselves each plagued by the same dream over and over each night, that is a sign that an aboleth has taken hold. Eventually more susceptible members of the community will become enthralled and begin living a waking dream, acting on the whims of the aboleth. This carries on until the entire community is enthralled, which then allows the aboleth to begin physically entering the waking world.

In Kovaud there are beings capable of granting "wishes". These beings are known as Janu. They are celestial beings bearing two faces which look in opposite directions and possess a large gemstone. When one encounters a janu, they will offer a singular wish. Once granted, the wisher is placed into a magical space within the janu's gemstone. The wisher, unaware of their containment, experiences the world as if it had been altered by their wish. The wisher is often only freed once they learn a lesson or realize their predicament.
