Introduction
Nilbog The Corruptor is an ancient and malevolent entity from beyond the known dimensions, embodying primordial chaos and darkness. Revered as a Great Old One, Nilbog is a being of immense power and malice, whose influence stretches across the cosmos, corrupting and consuming all that is pure and virtuous.
Historical Background
Nilbog's origins are shrouded in myth and obscurity, but it is said that the entity predates the formation of the known universe. According to ancient texts and forbidden lore, Nilbog once ruled over a realm of eternal night and suffering, a dimension of swirling darkness and malevolent energies. With the rise of cosmic order and the birth of the known realms, Nilbog was banished to the void, relegated to the annals of forbidden myth.
Powers and Abilities
Nilbog’s powers are vast and incomprehensible to mortal minds:

- Corruption: The Great Old One possesses the ability to corrupt both the environment and sentient beings. Those exposed to Nilbog's influence experience profound alterations, often leading to madness, degeneration, or transformation into twisted abominations.
- Summoning and Control: Nilbog can summon and command hordes of demonic entities from its realm. These creatures serve as its agents of chaos, spreading destruction and fear wherever they roam.
- Eternal Darkness: Nilbog has the power to shroud entire worlds in perpetual darkness, obscuring the sun and enveloping lands in a suffocating gloom. This darkness is not merely physical but also psychological, inducing terror and despair.
Recent History
In recent times, Nilbog was summoned to the world of Widdlington by Reg Van der Beak and Delacroix Vincent using an ancient amulet. Though not fully restored to its corporeal form, Nilbog’s presence plunged Widdlington into eternal darkness, leading to a crisis that saw the city overrun by demons and warlords. The entity's influence fractured the city, setting the stage for a prolonged and destructive conflict.
Current Status
Following the eventual defeat of its minions and the collapse of its plans, Nilbog’s current status is unknown. The Great Old One was partially banished, but the full extent of its defeat and the fate of its true form remain subjects of dark speculation and fear.
