Zilitu

"She is desire and death incarnate. May the gods protect us when she enacts revenge." -Aldous Tourmaline, Chief Demonologist Fiercely passionate and irresistibly seductive, Zilitu the Infernal Temptress is among the most ancient and powerful Demons of Tya. At the inception of the universe when all was chaos, the raw energy and emotion of the cosmos eventually settled into sentient spirits that would come to be worshipped by the early peoples of Tya. Multiple ancient texts refer to Zilitu as one such powerful spirit, associated with intense passion, destructive fury, and tremendous might. All sources recognize Zilitu's powers of seduction, and note how she has come to bear children for a number of other chief Demons, effectually creating Tya's most irresistible succubae. Respected and considered intimidating by the other demons of Tya, her spawns now spread misery and terror as she schemes her rise to power. Often omitted from legends, however, are the events surrounding her broken heart. Long ago, Zilitu seduced a powerful Archangel, who fathered her first son, Zuhro. This half-Angel, half-Demon hybrid child was so beautiful and mighty that she knew he would one day rule the cosmos. But when the gods learned of the corrupted Archangel and their forbidden spawn, they smote them both, shattering Zilitu's heart. Consumed with rage, she took up her lover's mighty lance and swore vengeance on all those who lived in the favor of the gods, vowing to turn her pain into a weapon. The multitudes of offspring she has borne since then have been twisted into evil lesser Demons that spread horror across all of Tya, chiefly assisted by Zilitu's hedonistic second and third-born sons Azzoth and Sorzus. Her legions of succubae roam uncontested, bearing even more evil servants for her cause. What's more, Zilitu often sends her servants to steal children from those blessed by the gods, turning them to her cause as she plots revenge from the Infernal Volcano. Here, she schemes to avenge her late lover and son, seducing her followers with power and vowing retribution against the gods.
