Lynkhab was a tanar'ri demon lord titled the Lady of Regret who was associated with both desire and depression.[1] She was a patron of the self-destructive.[3]
Description[]
Lynkhab was technically an entity of pure will, who continually reformed herself as to be the embodiment of desire. Most recently, she preferred to take the form of a voluptuous elf with fire-colored hair and eyes like burning ice. However, she also could see what a creature found desirable and change to match.[4]
Personality[]
Lynkhab experienced both desire and despair at the same time. She sought to die, but as an entity of pure will she could not die.[4]
Divine Realm[]
She reigned over the 297th layer of the Abyss, the Sighing Cliffs.[4][1][2] However, she also wandered the Abyss without fear because she could not die.[4]
Activities[]
Lynkhab could and would forget herself for a time to force herself out of existence, but since she embodied desire she always returned after a few days. She was also known to seek out mortal adventurers in the Abyss in attempts to kill herself, but would kill the adventurers if they failed.[4]
Relationships[]
Lynkhab was once a major rival of Malcanthet, Shami-Amourae, and Xinivrae.[1]
History[]
Lynkhab was one of the contenders for the title Queen of the Succubi, but lost to Malcanthet,[1][5] becoming a shadow of her former self, unable to offer any real resistance to Malcanthet.[3] Somehow, she came to express the idea of desire so completely that she became a disembodied creature, too incohesive to continue to gain power and change.[4]
After Shami-Amourae's release from the Wells of Darkness, she sought an alliance with both Lynkhab and Xinivrae, and there was some possibility that their combined forces could seriously threaten Malcanthet.[6]
