Narthos

Narthos, the Shadow Sovereign, is a terrifying entity. Often depicted as a wraith-like figure, he is shrouded in an inky black mist that absorbs all light. His glowing eyes are the only discernible feature on his ethereal form, radiating an eerie, fear-inducing light. Narthos is both a part of the darkness and its ruler, seamlessly merging with and emerging from the shadows.
