Shai’tan is the antithesis of creation. He exists only to destroy, to kill, and to harm. He is the embodiment of paradox and chaos, destroyer of reason and logic, breaker of balance, the unmaker of order, and the opponent of all life.

Despite this, he is not without followers. Though they do not practice openly for fear of persecution, many are still drawn to Shai’tan’s promises of power and knowledge. He asks only for unconditional servitude in exchange; servitude that does not end with death. Even those who worship other immortals give him strength; fearing him only adds to his influence.

Life is anathema to him, however, and he cannot appear where it exists in abundance. Swamps, riddled with decay, graveyards, and battlefields all serve as adequate places to worship Shai’tan. He appears before his followers at these unhallowed grounds to grant them frightening abilities. Even with his gifts, he still despises those who serve him, and eagerly awaits their own demise. Dark Witches and other spell casters answer his call, believing they can outwit him. Criminals and the power hungry will also flock to him in the hopes of earning great rewards. Other immortals do not fear him, but they do hate him. Where he is active, usually one group or another will try and intervene with his plans. Shai’tan has been an instigator of murder, war, and all manner of grisly crimes. His nature is to cease, and wishes to eventually destroy himself. He has little care for his followers, and wishes the Old Ways would fade, and let him die.
