Narithox, the Nightbringer

Demigod child of Narvox, Narithox is known by many names: Nightbringer, Dark Child, Nightfather, Sunkiller. The list is too long to chronicle. Unlike his father, Narithox was esoteric and secretive. Narithox did not inherit the lust for domination and universe-spanning control of Narvox; instead, he was created by Narvox as a weapon, and an assurance. It was Narvox's hope that Narithox would survive the Reckoning and rule Yophas after. This hope was, of course, unrealized, and Narithox was all but forgotten after his death, save for a handful of cults throughout Yophas.

Child of Darkness

Narithox is commonly depicted as an angelic figure of darkness. Perhaps he was created as a mockery of Yamma's angelic enforcers---after all, Narivox was meant to be the Sunkiller. He would kill Yacrena and darkness would embrace Yophas forever, the stars above witnesses to Narithox's perfect victory.   The Nightbringer's visage is one of love. His worshippers believe he exists in a perpetual dichotomy of childlike innocence and kindness and fatherly love and strength. They claim he hates the sun because it is by its light that the followers of the Ten subjugate Narithox's followers.   In this spirit, they depict him as an angelic figure with wings of shadow and clad solely in black, lower robes about his legs. He is muscular and perfect, with skin as black as pitch, dotted by glowing white freckles like stars in the night. His hair is long, white, and straight, framing his face like the sun in eclipse. His eyes are always bright, sickly green, like his father's, though he is usually depicted smiling and loving. In larger art pieces, Narithox is usually portrayed standing over his followers to protect them from the sun, or beneath an eclipsed sun with his followers celebrating in joy.

Patron of the Dark

Narithox occupies an interesting place in the Pantheon: he is all but forgotten, but those few who remember him worship him diligently. He is the patron of those things which thrive in the dark, meaning his cults attract vampires, werewolves, and necromancers, alongside a myriad of thieves, murderers, or even just misanthropes and nocturnal beasts.    Some criminal factions pledge themselves to Narithox, though they rarely worship him by name---or even know his full divinity. Instead, they simply know him as a patron of thieves and criminals, who ushers darkness in to protect their crimes. Other night cults and undead factions worship Narithox as their Father and Patron, for he seeks the death of the sun, that great beast who enslaves them in the cycle of day and night, hiding and freedom.   Most importantly, Narithox was secretive and hidden. Many of his followers manipulate in the shadows and strive for quiet gains that amount to shocking victories. They do not reveal themselves until victory is assured, and they believe Narithox desires their work to remain hidden and shadowed, metaphorically or literally. And, those who believe the Prophecy and truly love Narithox---or stand to gain much from the death of the sun---work to "stack the bodies higher" and "drain the blood of civilization" in the hopes of ushering the Child back into the world.
