YMMV / The Gods Awaken

• Complete Monster:
  • Nyarlathotep is a servant of the Outer Gods who destroyed countless world across the multiverse. Defeated by the Lord of the Abyss, Nodens, Nyarlathotep makes his way to the Boiling Isles. He bestows magic on inhabitants of the Isles, requesting them to perform child sacrifices and spreading death across the land, including killing King's mother. Sealed away, Nyarlathotep creates Emperor Belos and has him rule the Isles during his imprisonment. Freed, a weakened Nyarlathotep manipulates Boscha into becoming his protégé and plans to get his power back. Nyarlathotep drains energy from the palistrom tree, massacring all Palismans under the Bat Queen's protection in the process. Supporting Belos's invasion of Earth in order to retrieve the Necronomicon, Nyarlathotep gives Odalia Blight the staff which absorbs magic from the witches and feeds it to the Outer Gods. Nyarlathotep has Luz's friend captured and manipulates her into destroying the Necronomicon, giving him his power back, after which he absorbs Belos back into himself. Nyarlathotep summons Ghroth to Earth, starting an apocalypse while preparing to preside over a dual between Boscha and Willow, before destroying the Boiling Isles and rebuilding them in his image.
  • Emperor Belos is the tyrannical ruler of the Boiling Isles, who is in reality simply Nyarlathotep's creation who gained his own agency over the years. Developing a hatred for humans after being defeated by a young Camila, Luz's future mother, Belos spreads propaganda throughout the Boiling Isles about humans being "savages who need to be put down", as he brutally petrifies countless witches to use their souls in the creation of many sets of magical armor, leaving the souls in eternal agony. Being forced to submit to Nyarlathotep when he returned, Belos revealed his intention to destroy the Earth and annihilate humanity, sending his army to raze the human city, while making the Crawling Chaos spread chaos and destruction across entire planet. Confronted by an older Camila, Belos revealed his intention to steal the power of the Outer Gods and then betray and kill Nyarlathotep himself, before he will destroy the Boiling Isles and recreate it in his image.
  • Odalia Blight is the abusive mother of Amity Blight, who desires to make herself the most powerful and famous witch across the Boiling Isles. Forcing Amity to dye her hair green and befriend Boscha, threatening her with harm if she refuses, Odalia quickly disavows her as soon as she was invited to be a part of the Emperor's Coven, using her newfound magic staff to slowly and painfully drain her own son Edric of magic and life, reducing him to a barely-alive husk. Proudly announcing her intention to drain her other daughter Emira after Edric will eventually die, Odalia eagerly follows Belos and Nyarlathotep's plan of destroying the Earth and the Boiling Isles, as long as she gets power and status. Actively leading Belos's army in attacking and razing a large city on Earth, destroying buildings and slaughtering everything in her way, Odalia in the end tried to sacrifice Amity to the Outer Gods in a desperate attempt to save her own skin.
