Orcus, also known as Tenebrous, was a demon prince and purported primordial that served as master of the undead from the depths of the [[Abyss]]. Returned from undeath but not technically alive, the Demon Lord of Undeath was the multiverse's staunchest advocate for stagnation, seeking to exterminate all life, to darken and desolate all worlds, until all that remained in his static reality were undead moved only by his will. The Blood Lord was believed to be one of the mightiest demon lords, one that inspired dread in the hearts of gods.The Shadow That Was was among the powers of the Abyss most often worshiped as deity by the mortals of the Prime Material plane and, even more than the Prince of Demons himself, [[Graz'zt]], and was close to obtaining true divinity. During the [[Out of the Abyss Campaign]], when she died in a cave-in, [[Irrodore Bassol]] accepted a bargain from Orcus that brought her back to life, after which she was never the same. #NPC #Villain #Canon #OotA
