Fellthought Abstract - Inside Erevan's Guide to Death and Beyond - Vol. 8 (Patreon)

Knowledge is the most sacred of conquests. It is not enough to devote one’s life to it, for once you step beyond the realms of mere mortals, that is where true understanding lies.

-from “Foreword on the “grimoire of unlife” by Urul, the Eternal Archivist

The Fellthought Abstract is one of the 75+ monsters included in our upcoming book - Erevan's Guide to Death and Beyond launching on Kickstarter on May 21st!

North of the Viserian border, deep within the Boreas Coalition’s mountain range, lies Stoa Mortis. What had once been the Amara Academy, the pinnacle of astrological research, fell when its leader chose to walk the path of necromancy in the pursuit of knowledge. The students that now populate its halls devote their unlife to their craft and perform dark rituals under the command of their unhallowed leader: Urul, the Eternal Archivist. Because of its peculiar location between the nations of Viseria and the Boreas Coalition, even though it fell to darkness, it was mostly ignored. What little territory it claimed was deemed to be an acceptable sacrifice to keep the volatile political climate stable, as long as it did not expand further. And, indeed, the Academy seemed to be content with pursuing its interests of research solely within its walls, though, lately, dark omens seem to bode of a darkness that shall come to the whole continent.

A manifestation of pure knowledge, The Fellthought Abstract is formed from the dense magical and necrotic energies present in Stoa Mortis that spontaneously fuse and attain consciousness when a sufficiently large amount of erudition gathers in one spot. The newly formed consciousness is then channelled into spheres reinforced with magic and becomes autonomous. It later constructs a body around itself by stitching together the flesh of the corpses they find. It is said that staring into the sphere for too long will fill your head with the knowledge stored inside at the cost of your sanity.
