Stygians

Stygians are creatures mostly heard in stories told by Drama when he recounts several of his journeys through the deeper reaches of The Underworld, and the furthers rivers he was capable to travel to. He called them after the inhabitants of the mythical Lost City of Stygia, describing them as utterly maddened, uncaring and ever-devouring ephemeral beings who somehow accrued more power than even Geists. How they did that is a mystery even to him, that being the reason why he resorted to such colloquialisms as to call them "Stygians" in the first place. These beings are thankfully chained to The  Underworld irrecoverably, unable to naturally travel into the Mundane World, unless summoned upon it. Even then, trying to find any of these beings would require extensive time, as seemingly nothing is known about who they were originally. Lost forever to the annals of times. However, if one would be able to, against all odds, summon such a being into the Mundane World, they would find themselves swiftly consumed, as controlling such a powerful creature without the even sweet musing of The Underworld, is utterly impossible. As soon as it would get wafts of life, it would probably go absolutely berserk, and try to devour whatever is in front of it.

Sighting
"'There are precious few things I fear. Which is horrible if you really think about it just a bit. But these things? They terrify me.' - Drama"Drama recounts seeing such beings after he traversed through the Fifth River, Styx, within The Underworld. Called

"River of Hate" for a good reason seemingly, after having the unfortunate acquaintance with such beings. They have a certain territorial system set up with each other, as they seemingly fear one another's powers as well. However it was not that uncommon of a sight to see them cannibalise each other and grow substantially stronger in front of himself. Pointing towards the fact that each one of these beings possess major amounts of Plasm and Death Energy within themselves. The amount of "Stygians" grew significantly the further Bound traveled into The Underworld. Going from dozens at best from the fifth, to hundreds after the seventh river. Further not many Bound dared to venture, and those who did, have not came back. Drama suggests that there is no point in travelling even deeper anyway, for there only is one more river and The Great Below further in. Neither of

which anyone, other than the dead should know what hold.

Powers
"'I'm not sure I have books with myths in it sufficient enough to describe what these things are like.' - Brody Bearthorne"The power of a "Stygian" competes with that of an adept and well learned Bound. They are able to possess any type of Manifestation a Bound would have access to, but with an Arcanum to boast with as well. Drama would even dare to suggest that half a dozen of these beings if banded together would have a high possibility to even destroy an Arch-keeper Kerberoi. Though he would not dare to suggest that any Kerberoi who actually is in control of a Domain would feel threatened by such beings. This further being proven by the fact that none of these Kerberoi act against them, as they see them insignificant ephemerals compared to themselves.
