dragonage


The Formless One is an ancient demon capable of taking multiple forms.

Background

“The first of the magus cast themselves deep in the Fade in search of answers and power, always power. They found the forbidden ones – Xebenkeck, Imshael, Gaxkang the Unbound, and The Formless One. Many conversations were had and much of the fabric of the world revealed. And thus the magic of blood was born.” ―Unknown mage[1]

The Formless One is one of the four Forbidden Ones, a group of unique and very ancient demons. The Formless One is a demon capable of shifting between multiple different demonic forms, as well as possessing the corpses of creatures as large as dragons.

At some point during the Storm Age, the Formless One possessed the corpse of a deceased dragon that was sealed in the Chamber of the Unbound in the Grand Necropolis.
