Fiction:The Firmament/Kaharvoth

"And in the hoard of gold earned by blood, where the riches of the wicked fall upon their demise, the mighty dragon with one thousand horns makes her nest. With her dark breath, the words of the gods are twisted, rotten, and turned into gibberish."

- Irkallan Epitaph, describing Kaharvoth

Kaharvoth is the demon lord of greed, blasphemies, treasures and dragons, and the matriarch of the damned wyrms.

Appearance
Kaharvoth is an enormous damned wyrm with a total of one thousand horns upon her head, never any less or more, with horns growing back in case they were ever broken. She has two pairs of eyes, blackened purple scales and three skeletal tails ending in large stingers.

History
Kaharvoth claims to have been born from the first dragon soul to be condemned to Irkalla, who proceeded to devour all other dragon souls who followed her until she grew power rivalling that of a demigod. Primordial ruins state she was involved in the Great Gap as one of the demon lords unleashed into the Material Plane by Varagarash Narahil's planar breach; they tell of a gigantic crowned dragon who led legions of its kin against the dragons of Telamon, until she was banished back to Irkalla with the rest of demonkind by the greater gods.

Realm
The Catastrophe Dragon rules over the Ravine of the Damned, where her foul damned wyrm kin reside when they are not attempting to conquer the rest of Irkalla for themselves. It is an enormous ravine with deep blackened pits serving as the final destination of all evil dragon souls, where they are tormented for all eternity by Kaharvoth and her brood.

Personality
An entity of intense and never-ending desire to obtain all of value in the universe, Kaharvoth is obsessed with growing her hoard by all means necessary, representing the worst vices of all dragonkind. She is a haughty and cruel deity, devouring those who cross her without warning. She takes extreme delight in blasphemies, and favours servants who go out of their way to defile the works of other deities, be they gods of light or other demon lords.

Cult of Kaharvoth
The Catastrophe Dragon holds sway over legions of demons and damned wyrms in the realm of Irkalla. In Telamon, she is rarely worshipped by evil true wyrms seeking power above all else, but their kind is known to not be particularly submissive towards deities. She also favours cults dedicating to blaspheming the works of other gods, regardless of their race. As a dragon deity, she is also often worshipped by kobolds, usually those who lack a dragon patron and live particularly wretched lives.
