Description “The High Shepard. Monolith of torment. Head of the Scourges. The Soulmaster oversees all of the unfortunate humans that find themselves without corporeal form, cast into the world of shadows and into his merciless grasp.

Lord Nurhavak is often found working alongside his Scourge torturers, using a pair of electrical morning stars built into his forearms to bludgeon the human cattle from an infamous distance.

The Lord rarely stays in a single area, often using his teleportation device to travel across all of his torture districts. As the one responsible for overseeing every human mind transported to the Dark Realm, the Soulmaster is crucial to the continued existence of demonkind, preparing the manifested suffering for all of Hell to ingest.

As is common with the Lords of Hell, the inferior ranks have built monuments and shrines in Nurhavak’s name. The Soulmaster however, seldom ever visits these honours as his duty to the entire dimension keeps him in constant effort.

Council with his fellow Lords are some of the only times in which Nurhavak would ever be absent from his numerous domains.

The spoils of pained mortality is fed to the dark hordes by hierarchy. The richest agony is granted to the higher titans of Hell while the monstrous masses are left to gorge on the combined screams and stings made energy.

Dominant figures such as the Councilors of Sin enjoy this misery through voltaic banquets within their glossy black fortress, while sad abominations worth less than scrap scavenge every small whimper that comes their way.

No matter what shape feeds off humanity in this detestable world of theirs, Nurhavak stands at the center of the black cauldron. If Nurhavak were to fall, the human minds caged within the dark world would find mercy and relief, and Hell would go into a frenzy, desperate to inflict pain to feed their circuitry.

I would advise you to keep distance from a hunter such as Murnith, or a mastermind like Pavor. Nurhavak is neither. He is a monster. A Masochist from the start of his primal creation. But the Soulmaster knows only human sheep, and not rebels.

I would make no promise that one such as you could defeat this deity yourself, but surprise is certainly a useful tool against complacent tyrants.”
