The Nameless Ones

After extensive inquiry, it is my firm belief that these enigmatic beings, active in epochs long past, partake in the immortality bestowed upon them by The Onyx Queen. My exploration of their existence has been a labyrinth of intricacies, leading me to diverse realms. In the archives scattered across The Maelstrom, I have delved into volumes brimming with arcane knowledge and ventured into crypts so concealed as to verge on oblivion, all in pursuit of revelations. Each revelation linking them to the immortal sovereign surfaces repeatedly, particularly in conjunction with references to The Onyx Queen herself. Although her presence may be elusive, discernible trends in broader histories often align with her decisive actions.
  While information about these immortals is scant, indications suggest their pivotal roles in the queen's endeavours. This implies a connection surpassing mere servitude; they appear to share in her dominion over death and the fabric of time.
  The ancient malevolent forces, nearly effaced from memory, their true appellations lost since The Onyx Queen subjugated them, offer fragmentary glimpses through forgotten tomes in the Maelstrom's concealed repositories:
  In the recesses of the Maelstrom Nations' obscured libraries, tales recount an ancient potency:
the BeastLord. Accounts, nebulous and occasionally contradictory, portray them as monstrously bestial or devoid of peculiar visage. Yet, they wield the capability to summon creatures of formidable might. Antiquated scripts narrate colossal legions under the Beastlord's sway, led by exotic and ferocious beasts that prove invincible in battle.
  The Beastlord, among all immortals, emerges recurrently in tandem with The Onyx Queen, depicted as a faithful guardian and servant. When The Onyx Queen aspires to marshal a formidable army or unleash unfathomable devastation, it is the Beastlord she calls upon.
  The scope of the Beastlord's influence remains elusive due to their cryptic essence, but it is evident that whatever power they command has been harnessed in the service of The Onyx Queen for myriad millennia.
The Deathless King stands as another potent figure among these enduring beings.
  A figure shrouded in mystery, the Deathless King is whispered to be a necromancer wielding dominion over the deceased. Attempts to delineate the Deathless King prove challenging, as they often cloak themselves in shadows, described in veiled terms. Yet, they possess the ability to summon an army of undead warriors. The rare Tomb Giants, entities of profound mastery over death, accompanied them, a retinue of profound and worrying dominion.
  Beyond rumours and legends, the true extent of the Deathless King's power remains obscured. What is evident, however, is their unwavering allegiance to The Onyx Queen, spanning countless millennia. Narratives recount battlefields reanimated under their command, wreaking havoc across lands, leaving questions unanswered regarding the source of such devastation.
  The Deathless King's motives remain enigmatic, but their alignment with The Onyx Queen undeniably renders them a formidable force.
The dominion of The Onyx Queen extended far and wide, resonating most potently through her esteemed General, Righteous Brand. Scant details persist regarding Righteous Brand, as even the most ancient manuscripts offer no insight into their origin or title before assuming command under The Onyx Queen's banner.
  What is ascertainable is Righteous Brand's remarkable prowess as an inspirational leader and military strategist. Their troops are lauded for unwavering loyalty, executing orders unquestioningly, regardless of the toll. Assigned the role of enforcing The Onyx Queen's will through conquest or maintaining dominion over subdued nations, Righteous Brand stands as an exceptional figure.
  Curiously, references to Righteous Brand's possession of wings and elaborate depictions of their hair evoke speculation regarding divine origins. Whether a celestial envoy or an embellishment by scribes, the truth remains elusive. Nevertheless, Righteous Brand stands unparalleled in power and influence among The Onyx Queen's immortal retinue, their true motivations veiled in mystery.
The Breaker stands as one of The Onyx Queen's most dreaded generals, a figure cloaked in obscurity, with origins obscured by the passage of time. Tales abound of their strength and battlefield prowess. Descriptions depict them as excessively muscular, towering over even the hardiest warriors, capable of easily breaching seemingly impregnable fortifications.
  The Breaker is synonymous with an unstoppable force, effortlessly overcoming any opposition. In sieges, they are often witnessed shattering castle walls while adversaries futilely attempt to repel them, instilling terror among those who face them. The Breaker's association with dread and destruction echoes through the annals of history. While the exact nature of their powers remains uncertain, it is unequivocal that they served The Onyx Queen for untold millennia.
  Whispering Wind, one of The Onyx Queen's most enigmatic and feared agents, eludes comprehensive understanding. Scarce details exist regarding their identity, yet they are reputed to be a master assassin and spy, adept at navigating unseen, akin to the wind. It is posited that this entity lingered for centuries, silently eliminating those who opposed The Onyx Queen's designs. Scant documented sightings and reports have led some to question the very existence of Whispering Wind, deeming it a creation of fearful imaginations. Nonetheless, tales recount their lethal exploits, with victims discovered devoid of signs of struggle or resistance.
  The mystery surrounding Whispering Wind persists, leaving unanswered questions about its nature and the magical prowess enabling silent elimination of targets. Whether a factual entity or a product of myth, its purported might has etched a legendary status throughout the scant histories I could unearth.
  The Burning One, a mysterious figure draped in ambiguity, offers scant revelations. Little is known about the Burning One beyond narratives of destruction trailing in its wake; even tangible references to this figure remain elusive. Yet, its distinctive connection to fire and flames is evident, featuring prominently in accounts describing the utter annihilation of settlements or armies through conflagration.
  Despite its elusive identity, tales of the Burning One's devastating power echo consistently through available writings. The precise extent of its abilities remains unclear, but one certainty prevails: an ingrained fear of the Burning One permeates historical records within The Onyx Queen's retinue.
