History Characters / TheDarkEye

!Satuaria

The young daughter of Sumu, mainly worshiped by witches.

* MagnificientBastard: Hasrabal as a character is ''really'' old - one of the oldest antagonists of the setting, dating back to one of the first modules from 1984. However, unlike all other major villains, he never got his comeuppance, but instead (and despite his setback) managed to actually grow in power (both as a wizard as well as a ruler) over the decades. That he isn't that vile and more a power-hungry egomaniac than a full blown kitten-eating villain probably helps.

* CreatorsPet: Probably the most egregious example in the entire setting (see {{GMPC}} below). Not the only one, though (Ulrich Kiesow had several of them, and other editors had their own), but arguably the most controversial.

* FallenAngel: [[spoiler: Blakharaz, as revealed in ''Die Welt der Schwertmeister'' (and foreshadowed for long) is the corruptted by Netherhells half of Arka'zin. He was created when Arka'zin descended to the Netherhells when fighting the Nameless God and his demons, but realizing he was corrupted, he plit corrupted part of himself, before he fully became a demon.]]

* DecompositeCharacter: [[spoiler:An in-universe example. Originally being the Goddess of life Tsatuaria, after Levthan's rape she separated herself into the cheerful, innocent Tsa and the grumpy, vengeful Satuaria.

* SplitPersonality: While he has been a minor deity for most of the setting's existence, the Historica Aventurica turned him into the chief deity of knowledge who got sundered into two separate Deities after the Demons invaded reality -- a good (Hesinde) and an evil (Amazeran) one. The good half remained in Alveran, while the evil one descended into demonhood pretty quickly.

!Satuaria

The young daughter of Sumu, mainly worshiped by witches.

* FallenAngel: According to scrapes of lore found around the world, she fell while trying to take away Agrimoths dominion over the element of water. She did succeed somewhat...
** With the Historica Aventurica, this has been set straight: Charypta has been the Goddess of the Ocean and its creatures consecutively until the Ninth Age (i.e. for most of the time), which makes her the only Deity to persistantly enjoy a tenure in Alveran. At the height of her power during the Ninth Age (the age of the maritime races), however, she overextended herself, which made the other gods rally against her, driving her into the Netherhells. This also explains why plenty of maritime creatures and scaled or maritime humanoids still have an unhealthy bond with her.

The first name is the name in Zhayad, the mages secret language which is said to be the language of demons, the second name is in Zelemia, an early human language.

* LightIsGood: Is the god of sun and light, as well as justice, and he's viewed as a very benevolent deity by most (except the Thorwalians, who explicitly singled him out as the "Canterans Tyrant God", the Canterans being the Imperial Gyldenlanders from Cantera who drove away the Thorwalians' ancestors 1700 years ago).
** Though his priesthood is far less popular, given their arrogance and their penchant for luxury.

The secondborn goddess of battle and thunderstorms

* {{Expy}}: Of the Greek goddess Athena, as some depictions bear a striking resemblance and Rondra's status as goddess of war and tactics is akin to Athena's portfolio.
** [[CompositeCharacter Also has traits of]] the [[Myth/NorseMythology Norse goddess Freyja]], although the ones more connected to war, and one of the two patrons of the slain(along with Odin), rather than sorcery and love. She also has a lion as her symbol, like Freyja, who was connected to cats. Another similarity with figures from Norse mythology, are the {{Valkyries}}, with whom Freyja is also sometimes connected with. And as the child of the TopGod, who is more popular than him, and deity of thunderstorms, Rondra also resembles a [[GenderFlip female Thor]].

According to legend (their own!) they are Rondra's chosen people.

* AmazonBrigade: As mentioned above.

* GlorySeeker: Almost every last one.

* GlorySeeker: Many of her priests qualify as this.

* {{Expy}}: Of the Greek god [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Poseidon]], right down to the [[WeaponOfChoice trident]] that most of his priests use.
** Efferd's connection to storms, as well as the fact he's one of the [[OurGiantsAreBigger Giants]]/[[OurTitansAreDifferent Titans]], who joined the Twelve Gods, likens him to [[Myth/NorseMythology Aegir]].

* SplitPersonality: While he has been a minor deity for most of the setting's existence, the Historica Aventurica turned him into the chief deity of knowledge who got sundered into two separate Deities after the Demons invaded reality - a good (Hesinde) and an evil (Amazeran) one. The good half remained in Alveran, while the evil one descended into demonhood pretty quickly.

The Orc god of strength and dominance. His Animal is the Bull. His "priests" are the chieftains of the orc tribes. He does not grant them any powers [[spoiler:Though this is rather because he can't, not because he doesn't want to - his believers lack the inordination liturgy which enables them to ordain willing individuals into the ranks of his priesthood. Currently, his [[TheChosenOne Chosen One]] is looking for it.

Quote: "A scrupulous career woman without the slightest fear of Boron - exactly the right woman for us. And she has a great body to boot."

* RaceLift: Originally, Saldor was a human - or rather: his race was never specified, which was basically the same as outright stating he's human considering the fact that mages are human by default. Was later retconned into being a dwarf.

* BiTheWay: "Amazonian Love" is the in-universe term for lesbianism, and though they are expected to occasionally lie with a worthy male (in order to get pregnant), many if not most tend to prefer female company.

* BiTheWay: She really doesn't care about her lovers sex.

* GoodColoursEvilColours: Red and black are the colors of the priests, just like those of the church of Borbarad, you shouldn't [[BerserkButton say that]] to any [[SchmuckBait follower of Kor]] though.

* {{Expy}}: Of [[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}} Sl]][[TabletopGame/{{Warhammer40000}} aa]][[Characters/WarhammerChaosGodsAndDaemons ne]][[Warhammer40000ChaosGods sh]], although as opposed to Slaanesh, Belkelel doesn't have a particulary strong connection to elves.

Motto: "[[AltumVidetur Sequere Cupiditatem]] (Follow the/your passion)"

* {{GMPC}}: Averted. While rumored of having been this to the game's creator, turns out she was merely his favorite NPC among those he created; i.e. more a MarySue than this.

* Expy: Pretty much a nicer version of [[Characters/WarhammerChaosGodsAndDaemons Khorne]]

No player characters please.

* [[spoiler:JerkassGods: The way the [[LizardFolk Achaz]] saw him, his other followers, the Leviatanim and Maru actually considered themselves his children and were not as afraid of him.]]

* [[spoiler:JerkassGods: While she still was a god that was prayed to by the [[LizardFolk Achaz]], now that she is a demon, things just went FromBadToWorse for the [[LizardFolk Achaz]], even though they don't know that.]]

* [[spoiler:FallenAngel: He's the ruthless half that remained after Nandus' personality split. He willingly choose to become a demon pretty soon after.]]

* [[spoiler:BrotherSisterIncest: Well, it's complicated, while it is her mind, it is also his wife's body and he doesn't know.]]

* [[spoiler:GrandTheftMe: This is how she escaped decapitation, by switching her soul with the soul of her brothers wife.]]
* [[spoiler:KarmaHoudini: She escaped beheading by swapping souls with the wife of her would-be killer just before her body was killed.]]

** [[spoiler:She swapped her soul with the soul of his wife just before she was beheaded. She now lives as his wife and finally gets to rule the country almost the way she wanted to.]]

* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal: finally brought down by the heroes of the Year of Fire campaign.]]

* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal: well as much as one can kill off a nigh invulnerable being, his soul rests in a jewel among the dwarves but his body has been destroyed.]]

* [[spoiler:TheAgeless: As long as his picture exists, he will not age.]]
* [[spoiler:{{Expy}}: His origin story is taken straight from Literature/ThePictureOfDorianGray he did have to pay a high price for his immortality physically until he managed to force others to pay the price.]]
* [[spoiler:SoulJar: His picture, in a way. It does not prevent him from being hurt, it only prevents him from aging.]]

* [[spoiler:ProperlyParanoid: Since a powerful lizard beast, that is one of Borbarads inheritors, has been creating chimeras on Maraskan, his paranoia about reptile conspiracies aren't that far fetched. Too bad that he seems to believe that they are behind 'everything'.]]

All of the main twelve gods have an EvilCounterPart demon lord. They are listed in the order in which their months appear throughout the year, the year stars in the [[AlternativeCalendar middle of summer]] by the way.
They are said to reside in Alveran an {{Expy}} of mount Olympus.

* MarySue: One of many examples in the setting, arguably one of the worst if not the worst, and certainly the best-known. Rumored of having been the {{GMPC}} of the game's creator, but turns out it was "only" his favorite (and ridiculously overpowered) NPC among those he has come up with.
