Nyuo-Ogh, also spelled Nyuo-ogh, is the youngest qlippoth lord in existence, having recently been born from one of Oaur-Ooung's blisterwombs. He seeks to plunge mortal society into a literal and intellectual darkness.

Appearance

The Always Observing resembles a floating lizard eye cloaked in darkness, from which small claws extend and grasp at anything in reach.

Relationships

Like most qlippoths, Nyuo-Ogh's chief enemies are demons, and he aims to cut off the sin that empowers demons at its source—mortals. To this end, he seeks to reduce mortalkind's capacity for sin by stopping the advancement of knowledge and expunging both magic and science from society. He predicts that this will shorten mortal lifespans and eradicate the knowledge needed to contact and call demons.

Worshippers

Nyuo-Ogh's followers seek to control the spread of knowledge and magic and rule over the ignorant. They are often selfish wizards, trainers, or teachers.

These cultists serve an important role for the young qlippoth lord as his metaphysical windows into the mortal world. He can commandeer the sight of any of his followers for a period of time, as The Always Observing searches for ways to further his goal of slowing intellectual development. The cultist is blind during this partial possession, though they still have control over their actions. The visual manifestations of this possession are obvious, as the follower's eyes change to have veins of blood and diamond-shaped pupils.
