Jai A'Dai

When the cosmos was still hot with newborn light, Jai A'Dai sailed out of the Outer Dark like a bruise across the sky — an immortal maw carved from midnight and old grievances. He smelled the sun's first breath and, with the arrogance of something that had eaten galaxies and sleep, opened himself wide to swallow that newborn flame. The attempt unmade worlds: tides of shadow rolled inward, stars trembled, and a fraction of time folded beneath his teeth. But the greater Gods, bright and terrible as law, braided themselves into a ring of counter-light and pried him back into the hollow beyond. They did not kill him; they could not. Instead they sheared off pieces of him and let them fall into the silence. Those pieces are not dead so much as eaten: every moment part of Jai A'Dai is unmaking, dissolved by Oblivion like letters rubbed from a page, leaving behind ragged hunger and a shape that remembers how to devour light.

He returned to the edge between things, damaged, opinionated, and vengeful, and from that wound he forged devotion. His worshipers are not followers of comfort but of shared undoing; they bind themselves to his brokenness so Oblivion may claim them a little at a time. Marks crawl across their skin where nothing will ever grow; songs for Jai A'Dai are recitations of unbirth, and their rites are practiced with hands that willingly crumble into ash and reknit. In the quiet, they feel the same portions of themselves chewed away as when he was forced from the sun, and every nick of oblivion that touches a believer quickens his voice into promise. He speaks now with a thousand ruined mouths, planning not with patience but with the slow, inexorable insistence of a thing that knows it is always being erased; he will widen the dark until even the memory of the greater Gods is a faint, consumable warmth.

The Children of Jai A'Dai

The Children of Jai A'Dai are an infernalist group that actively works for possession and the service of the Neverborn. They associate with other beings of darkness like the Nephandi and the Black Spiral Dancers.

While mostly made up of sycophants dreaming of demonic power, there are hedge sorcerers and the occasional will worker among them.

Jai A'Dai is an infernal being who works to come into the prime plane so he can work his evil and create a better space for them to exist in. Pieces of his psyche break loose or are chewed off, and they come to Earth looking for bodies. They focus on the opening of Oblivion and ripping apart reality so that the Master can push further into the world. Allied with the Fomor and other beings of the Outer Dark, they need bodies to take a foothold in this plane.

The Children of Jai A'Dai are known for doing acts of terrorism and mass killings to the ends of their masters. Few in the 1900's understand them, the psychology hasn't been explored yet. In times their cult will be revealed to be an "End Times" cult, put alongside the Golden Dawn and othe sects.

Philosophy

Jai A'Dai is a being of the Outer Dark, a Cthonic creature who is reputed to have eaten other worlds in order to survive. His followers embrace Oblivion and nothingness, using phrases like "Empty Night", and "When the sun is consumed" as praise and glory statements. They take joy in self harm, cutting, inserting objects under their skin. Most followers have scars and burns, often with nails or spikes in their skin, faces, and extremities.
