His most common forms of interference in mortal affairs is often trading one item for a glimpse of power; in most cases, their wealth is often brought from their soul. A seemingly unfair bargain, Asv-Aldz often only communes with those who will unknowingly give him a one sided bargain in his favour.

His realm, Hypocrite's Rest is a vast divine palace where hordes of wealth, and souls of those who were given to him, lay in permanent residence.

 * Status: Active

A capricious goddess of primal passion, Kalisearan, known as Anaikya on Koldenwelt, is the feminine half of the Equlibrium, the two Simulacra that call the home, the other being Alar'xashan. Said to have originated when impurity and desire first marred Alar'xashan's realm in the beginning of time, the two have opposed each other since then. As an entity which is linked intricately with one's inner demons and sins, she is commonly associated with violence and cruelty, and most of her followers, such as, are indeed malevolent, warped creatures. The inhabitants of the Outworld saw Kalisearan as a demonic entity, having suffered greatly from the constant invasions of her creations, and shunned her worshippers sending them to exile or even killing them. However, Kalisearan's domain also includes the positive aspects of passion like love and she is not considered to be truly malevolent; her name is often invoked by the ambitious and the lovestruck in those regions of Koldenwelt where her name is known.

Alar'xashan
Alignment: Lawful Neutral "No sacrifice without blood."
 * Representation: Law, Order, Nobility, Sacrifice
 * Plane of Existence:
 * Status: Active

Some Simulacra are feared, others, admired, but to those few who are aware of the existence of the second Equilibrium Simulacrum, Alar'xashan, also known as Nirdesa or the Sacred Wyrm, he is a god. A powerful, magisterial and arrogant entity, Alar'xashan personifies order, law, tradition and faith - and from those who follow him, he expects nothing short of pure, unshaken loyalty and fervent faith. For ten thousand years, he had been reigning over the Outworld, forcing its people to sacrifice their souls to him in exchange for protection from Kalisearan's beasts of chaos, and now that his subjects are gone, the draconic deity is alone on the ravaged husk of his former realm, bound to fight his chaotic counterpart for all eternity. Only time will tell if he will ever turn his attention towards Koldenwelt and bring his tyranny of order to its people, but it is clear that his worshippers are already there, waiting for him...

Nalashtannylor

 * Representation: Purity
 * Alignment: True Neutral
 * Plane of Existence: Midnight
 * Status: Unknown

"Upon those who threaten the sanctity of night, shall waves of wrath be brought down upon them."

Nalashtannylor is the ambiguous Simulacrum of Purity. Nalashtannylor is a rare case as to that he is not inherently evil - more so that his existence has been debated for many thousands of years. Some believe that he was in fact created in likeness of Kinmorunddraver World-Walker due to his striking resemblance to him, whilst others believe that he is Kinmorunddraver. Others believe that Nalashtannylor is an analogue to Aethereus, therefore his credibility as a real entity or his true being is at best vague. Belief surrounding him says that he comes from a realm named Midnight, which has great similarities to the realm of the Moon Phoenixes. His belief is much stronger in the north of Koldenwelt, in which Nalashtannylor bears the northernmost shrine to any Simulacra on the planet.

Nyuumvooraa



 * Representation: Hopelessness, Despair, Fear, Misery
 * Alignment: Chaotic Evil
 * Plane of Existence: Nihilchthonia
 * Status: Active

"My hallowed ones emerge and run in chaos's full eruption. An evil band in every land delighting in destruction. What seems shapeless, formless and faceless, my greatness is releasing. So to enslave both god and knave, their sorrows thus increasing."

The Nyuumvooraa is the Simulacrum of Hopelessness and Despair that feeds on the misery of mortals. It is the deity and theocratic leader of the, an otherworldly empire dedicated to conquering small nations and oppressing their populations afterwards, thereby creating misery for the Nyuumvooraa to feed on. The Nyuumvooraa claims to be a loyal servant of Caligaduro Provectus, but has made no indication of sympathy for his master's imprisonment nor has done anything that would work towards freeing the God of Destruction. It is likely that the Nyuumvooraa feels much safer with Caligaduro Provectus out of the way, but maintains a pretense of subservience in case The Adversary is ever set free.
