Yaldabaoth: Goddess of Discord and Strife
Description: No one no longer knows her true form, for none was around to witness her transmogrification into a demiurge. Yaldabaoth can mimic a mortal after mere moments of observation and can mimic any known creature, animal or entity, allowing for her to change into countless shapes at will. She once was regarded as a plain looking Genii, one of the many who could be easily lost in a crowd even with that race's inherent divinity.
Lore: Just why Yaldabaoth launched the rebellion in Heaven remains a mystery known only to that secretive devil who delights in intrigue and subterfuge. Some say she was tired of her endless work as a sophist, regrowing gardens and forests that were razed by Genii and Abyssals alike. Others say she was spited for advancement or that she was betrayed and a few that she was simply bored which might be the worst of them all. After the war Yaldabaoth turned her sights towards the mortal races, impersonating important people, inciting riots and rebellion and staging coups and assassinations as she reveled in the chaos she caused at the start of the third mythic era. Although her depredations slowed during the middle of what was later called the Era of Strife, Yaldabaoth still has enacted numerous plots and betrayals, reveling in the misery for its own sake and not for any quest for power, glory, or domination

Agaliarept- Keeper of Secrets & Lord of Scrolls
Description: Agaliarept does not appear any different from his fellow Yazatans or Ahurans. His skin is the same dark brown hue and he is clothed in the traditional garments worn by the lore-keepers and scribes of Ohrmazd, plain white thobe tied with silver-grey sash and beaten brown leather slippers. The only noticeable change during his transmogrification into a daemon was the stark red hue now emanating from his eyes, a clear mark of infernal corruption.
Lore: Agaliarept was the head historian of Ohrmazd before he betrayed Zurvan and agreed to serve at the behest of Yaldabaoth. His intimate knowledge of all the races gave him great insight to their particular prejudices and animosities, knowledge which Yaldabaoth has used numerous times to reignite the flames of conflict across Meropis and Asphodel. He serves now as Yaldbadaoth’s chronicler, recording every travesty and tragedy the Devil manufactures in a secret ledger that only he and his master can read without losing their ability to see and be driven irreplicably insane.

Cerridwen: Goddess of Poison & Toxins
Description: A horrid mixture of a beautiful lutin woman’s torso mounted on the bloated black body of a spider marked by tell-tall red hourglass on its underside. Standing over twelve feet in height, Cerridwen’s claws and fangs drip with greenish ichor and her eyes blaze with permanent hatred, raging eternally at the twisted form she was shaped into after her ascension.
Lore: A Lutin herbalist who held a deep hatred for the Duine, she turned from healing and began creating poisons, selling them to rivaling groups to elicit violent and deadly feuds across Asphodel and Meropis. Never caught for her crimes, Cerridwen was approached by Yaldabaoth near the end of her mortal life and offered a chance to ascend, a process that transmogrified her body permanently. She now rules over Emain Ablach, or the isle of poisoned apples, a seemingly beautiful garden island that is overshrouded by the placid clouds of Pleroma’s languid skies.
