Mot (MOHT)

Levantine Deity

Mot (a.k.a. The Satan)

Mot, the Warden of Duat-Kur, is the stillness at the core of suffering. In life, the Canaanites named him the god of death, but within the ash-drenched realm of Carcosa and Dis, he has evolved beyond deityhood. He is a function now, a living structure—keeper of the unbroken ledger of torment, jailor of regrets too heavy for even time to carry away. Unlike flame or fury, Mot’s domain is decay in stasis, rot that does not consume but preserves. Every soul caught in Duat-Kur’s web eventually meets his gaze—not out of consequence, but because entropy is universal.   The Warden does not speak unless silence has failed. He watches, records, and exacts—but never forgets. When a wanderer challenges the realm’s balance or dares to defy the rhythm of pain and reflection, it is not rage they face—it is the quiet, methodical persistence of inevitability. Mot is the door that only opens inward. The farther one travels in Duat-Kur, the closer they come to him.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Mot’s appearance is understated, even human at first glance. A man in his prime, dark hair neatly combed, face symmetrical and disciplined—but upon closer inspection, the illusion falters. His skin bears the pallor of stone walls soaked in centuries of still air, and his gaze is weighty with centuries of knowledge not meant to be retained. Faint pockmarks line his cheeks like fossilized decay. He wears dark, ritualistic robes that do not flow, but hang—heavy as moral debt. Every inch of his presence is sculpted to avoid evoking fear, and yet fear is its natural consequence.

Mental characteristics

Sexuality

Mot feels no yearning in the mortal sense, but he is fascinated by permanence in others—by attachments that rot instead of break, by loyalty that warps into obsession. What he finds beautiful, he keeps, sometimes for eternity. He does not love so much as preserve, finding satisfaction in knowing that even desire must one day decay.
