KarKradas

The Whisperer in the Shadows Between Worlds
Kar’Kradas is an ancient and powerful demon, known as the Whisperer in the Shadows Between Worlds. It is said he was bound in “the places between” long ago, perhaps even before time as we know it, and now he can only access the world through shadows, corners, and mirrors, perceived by some sensitives out of the corner of the eye in just a glimpse. Magicians call on the Whisperer for powers of darkness, deception, and transcending time and space. Cults have worshipped Kar’Kradas throughout time, and some have sought to free him from his imprisonment, even though doing so would mean the unraveling of the Cosmic Coil and the end of all existence as we know it.

Umbral Kraken of Kar'Kradas

This spell is another summoning spell, calling up a massive tentacled creature of darkness from the depths.

Only one such kraken can ever be summoned at once, and it is thought that only one such exists.
