Special Traits:

Glitch Inheritance: All Guardian Stygian created from this one may inherit the Glitch trait. This takes up a rare slot for inheritance.

Primordial Inheritance: All Guardian Stygian created from this one may inherit the Primordial trait.
This requires either a rolled legendary trait slot.

Sword of Calamity (LIMIT 5) : Any EXISTING Stygian OR NEW GUARDIAN Stygian (Guardians must be blessed by this Stygian) can inherit the Sword of Calamity  at no additional cost. This allows for a sword MADE PURELY FROM AN ELEMENT AURA (such as shadow, ice, light, etc) to fully pierce the Stygian's body/chest (not including head or limbs). This bypasses the need otherwise to have functioning weapons piercing the body to be achieveable only with Hollow Crater. Weapon must be sword based, max 150% Stygian body size (or 100% bipedal). The countdown affects both for example: you could use one for an existing Stygian, and one for a Guardian blessing, that would be 2 of the 3 limit. Please when using make sure the person who is using your blessing if not a Guardian jar has a screenshot of your permission to use this trait during redeems.

Corrupted Nightmare Tree Raid (IC ONLY): As this Stygian's origin is the Corrupted Nightmare Tree raid, technically a part of it lives within that raid/ Dream-Online. It can always return its consciousness to its origins: though even if it is not there, the raid continues to function with a projected version of them. However, returning to the raid with their full consciousness after their freedom may lead to disastrous consequences, and unexpected dialogue and behaviour that is no longer quite scripted. 

Corrupted King of Nightmares (IC ONLY ): The boss has four phases:
  • Phase 1: The first phase is a simple damage phase, where the boss rp talks about being lost and forgotten, chained to the Corrupted Nightmare Tree forever for their sins and punishment. They take the appearance of a human (avatar) form, weaponless.
  • Phase 2: The second phase begins at 90% health. The entire arena is consumed in shadows before focusing into one point, a circle around the boss that condenses into a living shadow sword. As the shadows condense, the arena turns white. Circular shadow aoe pools spawn beneath the players: they must make sure to strategize where to place these aoe pools as they do not despawn until the boss is pushed past 50%
  • Phase 3: The third phase begins at 50% of the boss's health. As the boss falls, they release their grip on the sword. Players must break the chains between the sword, that functions as an entity of its own, and the boss. The sword's chains eventually will sever, and a party member must carry the sword across the arena to stab the boss with the sword. 
  • Final Phase: This will begin the second part of the encounter, as the sword is embedded into the boss, and they shift to their Stygian form, taking the likeliness of massive wyrm. The corruption from the sword has consumed them entirely, and they will perform attacks from phases 1 - 3, along with summoning the [ remnants of past heroes ], a random skill from the previously defeated 9 heroes. Around the arena are 13 weapons that each are initiated at random points in time. Breaking all 13 weapons frees the boss from their shackles, as the entire platform collapses and the boss falls to their demise.

The Stygian
Lanayru is a quiet but observant Stygian; he chooses to watch and take in his surroundings instead of actively being amongst everything during his rare trips outside of his kingdom. Even though he is of few words, Lanayru’s presence in and of itself demands recognition and respect since his power and origin earned him the name of The Corrupted King of Nightmares. Though intimidating, Lanayru is quite the ‘gentle giant’; often calm, at ease, and speaking with a smooth but commanding voice. Despite his usual silent and relaxed demeanor, if someone were to try to harm Lanayru or one of his loved ones, he would bring absolute destruction and calamity to them in any way possible.


The Nightmare
Despite originating in DREAM-ONLINE as an NPC and the Final Boss, he eventually broke free of the program and became a being of free will; because of this, Lanayru immediately took on the embodiment of a Nightmare called Shackled Sentience. He existed for so long simply as a program forever to follow his coding; all Lanayru could do was fight and die, a purpose for repetitive violence and even death on some occasions. When the game started to corrupt, a spark of sentience ignited self-doubt and anger inside him. Why did he have to battle endlessly? Why didn’t he have a choice? Eventually, the rage and resentment gave him the strength to break free of his coding and become the physical existence of The Corrupted King of Nightmares. Like all Stygians, he is the incarnation of his Nightmare, but Lanayru had the unfortunate luck to live as a victim of the very Nightmare he represents.
