Destruction
The Umbral Element of Destruction in Stehreel is a symbol of violence and war. It exists in sympathy with the Spectral Element of Flame and can be harnessed by warlocks in the Physical Plane of the world through its three aspects: Destruction, Collapse, and Ruin.
There isn't a main source of Destruction in Stehreel, but it is often said to focus deep in the caverns below the northern parts of the continent of Sayleen. It is said that Zeaboam, Nameless of Destruction, is buried there.
On the surface layer of the Umbral Plane, the element of Destruction is at its weakest save in the Physical Plane of the world where it only has tangible form. There are several lesser demons associated with destruction, creations of the Kaiser of Destruction that can travel the surface layer of the Umbral Plane.
The Lesser Demons of Destruction are the Destroyer, the Dreadnaught, and the Imp.
The great Kaiser of Destruction, the weakest of the Demigods, are called Mooshuru; large demonic beings with four arms that wield deadly weapons.
On the middle layer of the Umbral Plane, the element of Destruction is strong and steady, a terrible fracture of ruinous war. No Lesser Demons journey to this layer of the Umbral Plane, because all of the passages to it are guarded by those touched by the hand of Zeaboam herself.
Some say that the spirits of those aligned to Destruction journey to this layer of the Umbral Plane in death, dwelling in the pockets of endless strife.
The Shivan Seriph, strongest of the Demigods, dwell on this layer of the Umbral Plane, forged of destructive energy. Great warriors with six arms and dedicated to war, the Shivan are terrifying to behold.
Zeaboam
In the deepest layer of the Umbral Plane, the element of Destruction is so overpowering that it is said no mortal could bear to stand within it. Only the Gods live here, among them Zeaboam, the Nameless of Destruction.
Where Kain is petulant, Zeaboam is actively malicious. Where Kain throws tantrums, Zeaboam actively seeks to bring ruin to everything in existence. A personification of the spirit of war, Zeaboam is not happy unless she is ruining perfection, wreaking havoc on peace, and destroying utterly all beauty. The physical destruction involved in the Cataclysm of Stehreel was all thanks to Zeaboam.
She has worshipers in two different cultures of Hkahnihn. The Caldera Demons revere her and her servants, and one of the Cartels of Chasm Demons is devoted to her exclusively. Yet despite that, her greatest source of power and influence is the Sun Elves of Stehreel who despise all Nameless. Their ceaseless wars fuel her with their wild and unforgiving hate.
Besides Chasm Demons and Caldera Demons, none other actively worship Zeaboam.
