Nulgath (NPC)

Archfiend of the Oversoul, Oversoul Game Lead & AQWorlds Artist
This is ridiculous. Why am I here? The Archfiend of the Oversoul does not attend conventions! Do they think I have nothing better to do? I would destroy you if I did not think you would serve me better as a loyal minion.

Talk
In addition to ruling the Oversoul, I'm also the creator of the Oversoul game. Although most of my time is spent working on it, I still create armors, weapons and even a class for AQWorlds to reward my minions for their loyalty.

Abyssal General (Fiend of the Underworld)
I was not aware until now but a sizable fraction of my Nation secretly fear the day I take the Fiend God’s place. The power and influence I will gain will erase the need for the Nation itself. Could that be possible? Perhaps, but what say you? Would you fear me?

Gift - Can only be used once per day
Bananas - Decreases Friendship status by ¼ hearts
Chrysanthemums - Decreases Friendship status by ¼ hearts
Emeralds - Decreases Friendship status by ¼ hearts
Apples - Increases Friendship status by ¼ hearts
Opals - Decreases Friendship status by ¼ hearts
Oranges - Decreases Friendship status by ¼ hearts
Orchids - Decreases Friendship status by ¼ hearts

When gifting Nulgath something he likes
Apples are more useful than one would first think. A simple reagent in witchcraft and curses. You put thought into this.

- Rewards the player with:

• Unidentified 10: "Bag of Dirt" x5 if Friendship status has 1-2 hearts.
• Unidentified 10: "Bag of Dirt" x10 if Friendship status has 3-5 hearts.
• Unidentified 10: "Bag of Dirt" x20 if Friendship status has 6 hearts.

When gifting Nulgath something he dislikes
I assume you are intentionally trying to get on my nerves.
Tacky isn't a word I use often but it is appropriate here.
You wasted your time and mine on a useless whim.
This is a poor choice and lacking severely in taste.

The Archfiend
Feasts celebrating you are rare, and I should be offended over not being invited. What shall it be? A curse? A siege? What about a long-standing grudge that'll rear its ugly head when you need to ask me a favor? Ha, you know me well enough to shrug and smile. I suppose I am technically 'invading' Swordhaven. Let me take my time deciding whether or not to go through with it. Perhaps some of the other guests would be interested in a contract?

Gift
It would be rude to come to your celebration without a gift. Here. You can have Carnage for a weekend. He protested vehemently, and is still throwing a tantrum as we speak. Do with him as you will. You can even have him mow your lawn. If Carnage's skills in horticulture aren't to your preference, request any other follower of the Nation. I only chose him because he was starting to get a little too fond of having you fix his problems.

Super Chibi ArchFiend
Chaos Queen Beleen MUST be stopped! We need to find Beleen and put an end to her Chaotic reign… before she grows even more powerful and unpredictable. You need to go find her; I will stay here to concoct a remedy which will hopefully quell her Chaos.

Who are you?
HA! You have NEVER heard of the almighty ArchFiend, Nulgath? I used to RULE this world before I was exiled beyond the Oblivion Gate to the land of OverSoul… no thanks to Dage the Evil, Artix the Paladin, and their HUGE army of Lore warriors.

I re-opened the Oblivion Gate using a new strain of Chaos harnessed only by OverSouls… and apparently THIS is where the Gate led to. It was the perfect hiding place to fuse OverSoul Chaos with Lore's Chaos without being bothered by… troublesome heroes… *grrrrr* My plans of becoming Chaotic have been foiled by Beleen… and YOU are going to help me stop HER.

After completing 'Boss Fight Beleen!' quest:

ArchFiend
It feels GREAT to be back to my NORMAL self! NEVER again will I go full Anime *shudder*. I'm heading back to OverSoul now; come visit me if you're up for some REAL battles against REAL bad monsters in turned-based Player versus Player glory!! Oh, I painted a Chaos Queen Beleen Art Print at HeroMart in case you want to constantly be reminded of how chaotic Beleen truly was… is… mwahaa!

The Archfiend
Dage… The Evil? Pathetic, apprentice. You disappoint me. Again.. If you have to TELL your followers what you are, clearly you fail at BEING what you claim. You thought I would not find out what you planned? Pitiful. Your "friends" come crying to me, BEGGING for a true dark power to fllow. They crave Darkness stronger than you'll ever know. … You do not believe me? Suit yourself. The truth - and a surprise test - lies to your right.

After completing the 'Final Exam: Your Own Worst Enemy' quest:

The Archfiend
The battle is over and you still stand. You pass… barely. The Mark of Mastery is yours. But your "loyalty" to your friend is not. In dying by your hand in MY fortress, a spell was triggered that binds your spirit to the Underworld. You will never be free.

EbilCorp Influencer
I can't believe that I signed that contract for such insignificant gear. I should— The Nation's power comes from the Fiend God, Adimonde. In order to access his domain, one must— What magic is this? What have you done, <Hero>?!

After completing the 'The M.C.P' quest:

Abyss General (Fiend of the Underworld)
How dare you trick me, Hero! I should have your head for this! This is the last time I am the one signing the contract!

Abyss General (Fiend of the Underworld)
HAHAHA, YOU WISH TO SPEAK TO ME MORTAL WITHOUT CONFRONTING MY GUARD?

- Guard?

After completing the 'Beyond the Portal' quest:

Abyss General (Fiend of the Underworld)
I've been watching you from the beginning, <Hero>. You've had it easy. Everything so far has been handed to you. Did you think the Inquisition was tough? HA! You must not know what a real challenge is. No, you are still weak. You seek power for the perils that await you… but I can't just give that away. It's something you have to earn for yourself. I can, however, lead you on the path to acquire it… for a price.

Contract
I offer you this contract. Sign it, and my wares will be yours to earn from myself and the inhabitants of this domain. You are free to refuse, but know that if you do, the challenges that await you will be impossible to overcome. What are the terms of the contract? Does it matter? All you want is power, am I wrong?

- Nulgath's Quests

After completing the 'Contract With the Abyss' quest:

Abyss General (Fiend of the Underworld)
Welcome minion. The prices? Oh, save your bellyaching for the morgue. Leave if you think they're unreasonable! Earning my wares will cost you… and it'll cost you a lot. Keep whining, and I'll decorate this room with your entrails.

Talk
I've imbued a small, minuscule, fragment of my power into each of my gemstones and relics. Earn them by completing my tasks and fulfilling requests from the inhabitants of this realm, then forge them into items of great power!

Inhabitants
This realm is home to many inhabitants. If you wish to earn more of my wares, search for them within the caves, and they will reveal themselves to you.

ArchFiend Class
ArchFiends draw their power from the Abyss itself. If you think you can handle that type of power, seek out Oblivion. They'll put you through the most excruciating boot camp of your miserable life!

Void Highlord Class
HAHAHA! Ambitious, aren't you? Void Highlords are among the Nation's mightiest soldiers, and each is imbued with a fragment of MY power. You're free to try and become one, but be warned: you won't like the initiation process. If you're up to the task, find the original Void Highlord within the caves. Prove yourself to them, and show me that you have what it takes to stand at the top.

So it is a war that Dage wants? Fine! I will bring it to him! Fiends of the Nation! Void Knights! Hexes! Rise! We shall rain death and destruction upon the Traitor! We shall pluck his soul from his husk and then… YOU! SHALL! FEAST!

Good news: my secret "Beleen Remedy" is nearly finished. Bad news : we need to get close to Beleen. Great news: I have devised the perfect plan… build a Beleen Pony! It'll be like Trojan Horse, only MUCH cuter. Beleen will not be able to resist… mwahahahahha!

Remedy?
Ah yes, while you were helping a No Pants Paladin in peril, I was busily concocting up a magic recipe that will strip Chaos from Beleen. It's top notch stuff I learned from watching cooking shows in the OverSoul realm. It just needs to simmer a bit more… you know, for flavor.

Abyss General (Fiend of the Underworld)
Even from Underworld I can sense that Empress Gravelyn is in great danger. I've come to break you out from Underworld. Sign this contract and I will send you back to the land of living for a short period of time. Let it be known, if you die during this time, you'll be gone into the Void forever with no way back. You'll cease to exist completely.

The Archfiend
Return to /templesiege. Carnage will be there to brief you. Don't keep me waiting.

- Go Now

After completing the 'Throat Sores' quest:

The Archfiend
Our new temporary contract has been sealed. Oblivion, Carnage, and my army have been ordered to create distance between themselves and the temple. That Stranger possessed the corpse of my clone, meaning it could easily take control of my Nation through their contracts. Only you and I will be able to enter the Temple. We will crush the worm that infests my visage.

- Nulgath's Quests

After completing the 'Prephosphorus' quest:

The Archfiend
The Elemental Astero will show me how to connect myself to the pedestal. My power and essence will be drained and flow into the portal beyond this room. The process will take time, and you need to distract the Worm long enough for an entrance to another realm to be opened. Which realm? Ha, you catch on quickly.

- Nulgath's Quests

After completing the 'Feeding Time' quest:

The Archfiend
The matter is settled. My clone (and the thief that stole it) has been destroyed. I see that you're relieved that the matter between the two of us has been settled as well. This Temple, the Light, its secrets and the secrets of the Shadows… The Empress, myself, and perhaps even the lich will see to these matters after the Alliance of Good and Evil separates.

Talk
What I will share with you will also be passed to Empress Gravelyn's ears.

Temp Contract
Our temporary contract has ended. I no longer have access to your powers or abilities, but my word still stands. Were you surprised at how drastic the failsafe was on your contract? You would not have agreed to the conditions otherwise. I don't see it as an unbalanced agreement. Though my time wielding your abilities was short, I learned much about Adimonde, and about you.

Shadows
The Mysterious Stranger that manipulated Sepulchure follows the same Master as The Worm. While we spied on Adimonde, they revealed how they once fought this Master. Ha, Adimonde never mentioned who won. I doubt this Master is truly gone. Weakened as they could be, they still exist and will act in competition to my Nation. One day, they will be a threat, and I will be prepared.

Pedestal
The pedestal and portal we ruined is an interesting discovery. That travelogue you found in the Temple noted how its victims were unable to be raised from the dead. While I was connected to it, I did feel close to obliteration. If I were even a slightly lesser being, I would not be standing before you. This 'Drowning Machine,' what the Temple's pedestal was based off of, is worth investigating.

The Archfiend
Carnage has informed me that these doors are sealed by a powerful Light spell. If it were only the Light, a flick of my finger would split them open, however, the clerics only sealed the door from this side. Another entity is holding it shut from the other side. It's using the power of my contracts and my Nation against me. Follow my instructions closely and pay attention to your surroundings. The situation has changed.

- Nulgath's Quests

After completing the 'The Emperor's Shadow' quest:

The Archfiend
The doors standing before us have flown open. I can sense Oblivion behind them. The first insult against the Nation was the shattering of a Fiend Shard. The second was the theft of another. The third was the theft of a corpse; the corpse of a clone. One that Oblivion was guarding. He has been overtaken by a Shadow. Defeat him and rip that Shadow out of his throat. I wish to crush that shade under my heel.

- Nulgath's Quests

After completing the 'Throat Sores' quest:

The Archfiend
The Shadows are full of surprises. I am accustomed to the territorial disputes between those the Light shuns but I did not expect these particular Shadows to blatantly attack me and the Shadowscythe they once ruled. Yes, a Mysterious Stranger is impersonating me and has invaded the new Temple of Light for (as of yet) unknown reasons. We need to delve into the Temple's depths to punish this foolishness.

Talk
I am not one for idle chatter. These are facts you should know.

Shadows
The Shadows and Doom are entities | distinctly separate from the Darkness. The Avatar Voidstar is a sloven coward sitting in a Plane that vastly outmatches the other elements in power. Why? The reason has remained hidden since the days of Planar Conflict. Mortals do not fear the darkness because of the Avatar. They connect the Darkness to the fear instilled by the Shadows and Doom.

Strangers
Have you heard of the Mysterious Stranger? Perhaps you have met one yourself. Indeed, there are many. One led Sir Valen to becoming Emperor of the Shadowscythe, and subsequently started a chain reaction that put the Empire squarely under the reign of the Empress. The Shadows have completely lost their hold, and are conspiring to get it back. Ha, they are desperate enough to challenge me.

Respect
Emperor Sepulchure and I once clashed blades. For a sliver of a moment, he fought me as Sepulchure the man, not the puppet of the Shadows. That is how the Shadows see us. Mere puppets that have escaped their strings. Regardless of what I am now, the Shadows know that my roots were mortal. That is why they didn't fear insulting me by stealing my clone and a fiend shard. I promise you, I will teach them fear.

The Archfiend
You have no need to bother with Underworld business. I don't have plans to take advantage of Dage's lapse in memory. The Lord of the Legion will recover in a matter of hours. I am merely enjoying this spot of nostalgia.

Immunity
It is not as if I am immune to the waters of the Lethe. They existed long before Dage and myself. Merely wading in the river won't cause permanent damage, and I have more than enough memories from centuries as the Archfiend. Skimming the froth off the top won't affect my behavior. Ha, it would have been interesting if I had forgotten that Dage was no longer my apprentice.

Apprentice
Dage must have been splashed by the waters of forgetfulness when he came to investigate the thief. Neither of us can fully resist its effects. He is merely too young, and the Lethe blurred a large enough chunk of his memories to make him believe that he still calls me Master. This is an opportune moment. I didn't have time to pass all of my lessons before he decided to betray me. That should aid you both in the future.

Lupercalia
Heroes Heart Day is what you call this festival of affection these days? Valentidus Jr. seems to have taken the reins. Long before his time, the people celebrated with blood rites, sacrifices, and hunting each other in the streets. That was how they honored Valentidus Sr, and the nemesis he fell in love with: Lupercalia. He even named the festivities after her. It was far more enjoyable than the empty displays of affection in this era.

After completing the 'Oubliable' quest:

The Archfiend
I will be taking my leave soon. Dage is coming back to his senses, and I imagine he'll want the thief to suffer for eternity. Send my disregards to that dull fellow, Valentidus Jr. His festivities are neither notable nor abhorrent. They occupy a forgettable space in between. It was more exciting to see warriors trade a thousand scars for a single heart. All this flowers and chocolate nonsense. If you like someone, kidnap them…That was a joke.
