nohuvahendeid

nohuvahendeid is a term originating from the fictional world of Aethelgard. It refers to the shadowy entities that are said to inhabit the deepest, forgotten places of the realm. Little is known about their true nature, but folklore describes them as beings of pure darkness, capable of inducing madness and despair in those who encounter them. Their presence is often associated with ancient ruins, cursed forests, and subterranean caverns where sunlight never reaches.

Legends claim that nohuvahendeid do not possess physical forms in the traditional sense, but rather manifest as disturbances in the fabric of reality. They are thought to feed on negative emotions, drawing strength from fear, sorrow, and hopelessness. Some ancient texts suggest that they are not inherently malevolent but are a natural consequence of the world's deepest imbalances, drawn to areas where light has been extinguished.

Attempts to study or confront nohuvahendeid have historically ended in tragedy. Those who have ventured into their supposed domains rarely return, and those who do are often irrevocably changed, speaking in riddles or succumbing to complete mental breakdown. Consequently, much of the understanding of nohuvahendeid remains speculative, pieced together from fragmented myths and cautionary tales passed down through generations. Their existence is a constant, unsettling undercurrent in Aethelgardian folklore, a reminder of the unknown dangers that lurk beyond the edges of civilization.
