====== The Dark Messiah ======

This being is a titanic, monstrous facsimile of the shattered [[Demiurge]], Ao. This Frankenstein's monster of stolen Shadar-Kai settlements and necrotic Shadow Shards is animated by the volatile "Monster Energy" once associated with the warlock [[Caiel]]. It hurtles through the Aether toward the [[the_hospice_of_eilac|Hospice of Eliac]] and [[welmet|Welmet Station]], 

The settlements originally pulled together to build the Demiurge include:


  * **Flaygallows** - The former site of the Shadar-Kai fascists prison known as the Vault of Regret
  * **Gloomwrought** - A mercantile powerhouse
  * **Brickhell** - This shard is famous for its fortress-like construction
  * **Voidhaunt** - Known for the libraries including the haunted vaults and the blasphemous stacks; many of those who work and serve here are either voluntarily blind or illiterate
  * **Umberhowl** - Known for the monsters raised in its wide-open jungles and mountain ranges
  * **Shadowhaven** - This small shadow shard is famous for its wine production
