Nhimbaloth
Nhimbaloth is an especially reclusive Outer God from the Dark Tapestry whose sphere of influence encompasses despair, ghosts, and swamps.
Nhimbaloth hunts along the shores of the River of Souls and is a shapeless entity also known as the Empty Death. She preys on those who hunt souls as they travel down the river, but she devours both hunter and soul indiscriminately; those she consumes have no afterlife or potential for resurrection. They are forever gone, and forever nothing.
Nhimbaloth is said to see through will-o’-wisp, and her trace is left behind in a symmetrical pattern of seven divots along the shoreline, said to be her fingerprints. Faceless undead haunt the places where she has passed, and plant and animal life in the area is especially hostile to the living.
Relationships
Nhimbaloth is opposed by Gozreh, due to her taint of swamplands, and by Desna, who worries that her followers might stumble into Nhimbaloth's clutches in the wilds. Her occasional corruption of the First World and fey has also made her an enemy of the Eldest.Appearance and Emissaries
Nhimbaloth has no form, but her passage leaves behind telltale marks. In areas she has previously visited, usually swamps and desolate shores, faceless undead haunt, and wildlife, both plants and animals, becomes strangely antagonistic. To some cults, however, Nhimbaloth manifests as a woman with four yellow eyes configured like a four-pointed star.Servants
