Nakala

Goddess of Elemental Darkness

  • Nearly Universal
  • Celestial Court

Nakala is the name used to describe the Primal Darkness. She has other, secret names too, but these are hidden in the esoterica of obscure cults which hint at eight stages of self-introspection and internal evolution during the goddess’ devolution.
