🌑 5. The Nameless One — "Eternal Shadow"
Sect: Order of the Forgotten Shadow
Rank: Rank 9 — Eternal Curse Sovereign
Symbol: None — for all symbols fade near them.

No one remembers who or what they were. Legends say they were once the First Curse themselves — the living embodiment of resentment born from the gods' discarded emotions. They wander through time, unseen, erasing traces of their own existence as they pass.
Signature Technique:
🌑 Name of Unmaking — to know one's true name is to destroy them.
When they whisper your name, your existence unravels — memory, history, soul — all gone.
Personality:
Neither cruel nor kind — simply inevitable.
Even higher beings refuse to speak of them, for to acknowledge their name is to invite oblivion.
