horngeek homebrew: Konyvtar, the Archive Addictive
With thanks to @Aleph for helping me turn this idea into a full thing:
Konyvtar, the Archive Addictive
Demon of the Third Circle
Fourth Soul of Elloge
A robed and cowled figure, Konyvtar seems slow and unassuming as it moves. Some might think this Unquestionable meek. Some might even think it a coward- and perhaps they are right in the second, but they do not realise that six hands move too quickly to be seen as they trace over books and scrolls around the figure. They do not notice how the ever-present murmurs of its voice escape the ear and coils around the mind to make one paranoid and convinced of hidden patterns- patterns that control the actions of all around them, and override even the urgings of Fate. Those who kill themselves in this paranoia become hooded and cowled themselves, akuma-slaves that aid the Archive Addictive in its archives.
To read from these archives is to risk the same fate- for those who read find themselves delving deeper and deeper, from scroll to scroll and book to book, until they starve themselves to death- and join the ranks of Konyvtar's librarians, inscribing knowledge and history in pursuit of this hidden design.
Konyvtar hopes to find out everything that will ever happen through deciphering this pattern- for it is terrified of the unknown, and is driven by a desperate desire to know the future. Even the knowledge of a certain doom is preferable to torturous uncertainty. It views Sacheverell with great suspicion and fervent ardour- for it believes his sight might reveal the Pattern it seeks if he ever woke, but at the same time fears greatly that he would keep this knowledge from any but he alone. The End of All Wisdom and the Archive Addictive have hated each other for ages gone, and often fought, libraries of ink and glass battling for position along the streets of the Demon City.
When the wisest man in a kingdom falls into madness and paranoia, tearing through his libraries in search of a secret that is not there to be found, Konyvtar can slip free from its bindings and emerge in the sage's mind; there to robe and cowl itself before continuing its eternal search. Sorcerers summon Konyvtar for his knowledge, for the Archive Addictive's relentless search has lead it to many strange pieces of knowledge- but they should be well-warned, for its whispers will not stop even for a sorcerous binding…
Konyvtar and the Althing: It has not yet determined what part the Green Sun Princes have to play in the Great Pattern, and will either keep them near to watch them closely or send them in search of lost knowledge that it has long sought after. If it can do both, of course, it will make an effort to - perhaps in action the role of the Infernal Exalted will become clearer.
