Hemaiquel
The Lord of Darkness
Within the cultures where The Church of The Shining Path is dominant there is several different descriptions of Hemaiquel. But the most common is the one of huge horned devil with predator teeth and a evil smile on his face. Hemaiquel is defined as the enemy of Etin, the ruler of all that is evil and the lord of illusion and lies. His goal is to make all followers of Etin to forget what is pure and true and stray to the path of evil and vileness. To his help he have several different devils and demons who abide by his words.
Hemaiquel realms are described as threefold.
- Rodomelantos: The dimension where he holds his court and his "blessed" followers spent their eternity in eternal torment and pleasuring their master in an effort to gain his attention. It is described as a place of everlasting orgies where sinners are tortured or torturing others to gain their masters attention. According to heretics this is the picture Hemaiquel shows to the followers of Etin. Actually it is a garden filled with joy and the orgies are in honor of fertility. The inquisition spends much resources to quell this heresy whenever it shows it face.
- Yflasefugh: Yflasefugh is described as a plane of fire and eternal torment for those whom enter or are banished to it. There are deep theological debates as to how Yflasefugh became a part of Hemaiquel realms. But according to one legend Yflasefugh is a reason for Hemaiquel to be associated with Imaria - The Godess of everlasting torment. There is a strong argument amongst the theological scholars whom debate Hemaiquel that Yflasefugh actually is not a part of Hemaiquel realms at all, but rather it is the realm of Imaria. The inqusitors of The Church of The Shining Path have been known to show interest in these scholars, and the debate.
- The Black Library: A dark and gloomy dimension which is as much of a maze as it is a place of knowledge. It is said to connect to many different dimensions and everything ever written is found within it tomes. According to the black book it has unaccountable numbers of floors and rooms. There is also debate within the church how Hemaiquel is tied to this realm. One explanation is that as the lord of lies and illusions the library is used to tempt the followers of what is pure and true to go astray.
