Eldritch

THE STUDY OF THE ELDRITCH

Eldritch, which means uncanny, unearthly, and weird in a supernatural way. Anything a witch does is eldritch. Goblins and Elves are eldritch creatures. A story full of ghosts and strange monsters is full of eldritch elements.

The Eldritch Abomination is a type of creature defined by its disregard for the natural laws of the universe as we understand them. They are grotesque mockeries of reality beyond comprehension whose disturbing otherness cannot be encompassed in any mortal tongue.

The power of these beings can greatly vary. Some of which can be defeated by mortals, usually via a special weapon specifically meant to kill them - some of which are more powerful than gods. However, are often still able to be defeated.


Those who use magic derived from eldritch entities need to gain the power to use Eldritch Magic, a form of magic that is derived from Eldritch Abominations.
