Azoth is a "new" eternal created from the union of Soghter and Murit

Eternal of Night

Sobriquets

The eternal is usually known by heralds and magicians as the Azoth, although it generally refers to itself as simply "Azoth".

Other monikers include the Crucible, the Rebis, and the Great Work.

Appearance

The Azoth's true form - inasmuch as Night eternals can be said to have such a thing - is unknown at this time. It is likely that as with Murit and Soghter, the Azoth is a winged serpent like Sung and Lashonar, as opposed to a wyrm like Janon or Sadogua. As with all the eternals of the Night realm, the Azoth is a shapeshifter - capable of taking on any form it desires. When it assumes humanoid form, it has shown a marked preference for an orc-like appearance, albeit one with at least one unfamiliar element such as feathers, multicoloured scales, or even horns. It seems to favour multicoloured silks, although there are also reports of more martial elements similar to those of a Jotun ghoddi - albeit with a richer range of colour than traditional for the western orcs.

Concerns

The Azoth is the eternal union of Murit and Soghter into one being. Imperial scholars believe this is only another stage in an eternal cycle of union and division. At some point far in the future, Azoth will split into Murit and Soghter once again - but for now those two Eternals have effectively ceased to exist. Fundamentally, the Azoth is an Eternal of change and transformation, combining elements of both the Shaper and the Changer of the Ways to create something entirely new.

Boons

As a consequence of their transformation, many boons provided by one of the two "progenitor" eternals have ceased to function, or have undergone significant changes.

Heralds

As with the boons of Soghter and Murit, it is believed that many of those eternals' former heralds have undergone significant changes. In some cases, it appears that individual heralds have echoed the merging of their former patrons, joining in some esoteric fashion with "opposite numbers" in the service of the other eternal to create a new entity.
