(a.k.a. Al Vengar (Alcyrians), Sacrom (Vales) Haruhyar (Elven), NagDurKhrum (Dwarven) Nekcrom (most Humans, Cynndraaki, Makasi, Morsidhi))
Introduction:
In the realm of deities and dark mysteries, few names are whispered with as much trepidation as that of Nekcrom. A malevolent deity shrouded in obscurity, Nekcrom is a figure whose name escapes the lips of most, save for those who invoke it in curses or call upon its sinister power for nefarious deeds. While the knowledge of Nekcrom's existence is undeniable, the depths of his malevolence remain hidden beneath layers of enigma. This god, a harbinger of chaos and destruction, holds dominion over all that is wicked and casts a foreboding shadow over the forces of good.
A Cosmic Rivalry Unveiled:
The legendary conflict between Valinos and his brother, the god of evil, Neckrom, is no mystery. Its details are chronicled in many sacred books, kept by Nekcrom's companions. Accompanying Nekcrom are Ch'ar-Mut, Zid-De, and Kurxang, each a god who serves him and themselves. This protracted and fierce battle was eventually halted by their father, Janek, a turning point in the cosmic struggle of good and evil. Little is known of what became of Nekcrom. Although it is said that his brother Valinos is in a state of repose, most do not believe that Nekcrom can trust his legion of helper gods to their own devices. But little is known of where he resides or how much he personally contributes anymore. They just know that he is real and that his evil is nothing to scoff at.
