Aftalkas, the Star Swallower
Description
Aftalkas is a massive gold and blue serpent that roams the Astral Sea, returning to the Prime only to rip stars from the sky and leave dark holes in the sky. He sports a massive good similar to a cobra and his eyes glow bright with the light of numerous stars lost forevermore. His fangs gleam with a deadly toxin that is rumored to be able to slay the Gods themselves.Personality
Aftalkas is a harsh master and demands utter obedience from his bound warlocks. Making up the Cult of Dark Sands, these warlocks primarily stationed throughout the Kuneirmeru seek to end the wretched light of the stars above, letting night become an all encompassing darkness. While the reason for this desire differs from member to member, Aftalkas himself does so because he finds the light truly offensive.Abilities
