sheogoraths

Sheogoraths are a fictional species from the fictional universe of the online video game supplement Eberron, created by Wizards of the Coast. In the Eberron campaign setting, they are a type of powerful outsiders known as daemons, known for their intelligence and capacity for manipulation. Sheogoraths are depicted as seductive, cunning creatures that seek to influence and corrupt mortal beings, often through subtle suggestion or manipulation.

According to Eberron lore, Sheogoraths originated in the underworld realm of Mournland, which was devastated in the catastrophic event known as the Last War. They reside in this realm, where they manipulate and corrupt the spirits of the dead, turning them into "shades" that may be used as minions. Sheogoraths have a particular affinity for the Dark Six, a group of deities that embody malevolent and destructive aspects of life.

Players who encounter Sheogoraths in the Eberron campaign setting often face challenging moral dilemmas, as these creatures may offer them tempting rewards or offers that come with a hidden price. Sheogoraths' abilities and motivations are shaped by their goal of corrupting the mortal world, often through intrigue, deception, and subtle manipulation.

Sheogoraths' specific appearance varies, but they are generally depicted as tall, slender creatures with piercing eyes and an unsettling charm. They may manifest in various forms, from humanoid to more abstract, dreamlike manifestations. While sheogoraths are depicted as formidable foes in Eberron, they may also serve as complex and nuanced characters, prompting exploration of themes related to power, morality, and the nature of evil.
