Nanka are supernatural beings that are servants of the Evil Gods. They are sent to Titan by their masters to ensnare the souls of certain mortals (normally those who would defy the malign plans of the Dark Lords and their minions) and to transport those souls to the Void for their masters to feed upon.[1] Nanka have also been recording working with the Demon Princes as intermediaries between the the Dark Lords and the Princes. [2] Nanka dwell in the Plane of Ichor region of the Pit.[3]
Description[]
Like the Suma they are invisible to mortals but should they wish to be seen they manifest themselves as a vague humanoid formed from thick black smoke in which a pair of dark eyes glint wickedly.
It has been written that a favourite trap of the Nanka is to hide in a glass phial as a Genie hides in a lamp. When the phial is unstopped it will flow out as a cloud of smoke and envelop the person who has released it. Thus its prey is trapped and it will return to its master and deliver the victim's soul to it. It will then return to the bottle and replace the stopper by magic.[4]
Nanka are only vulnerable to magical weapons and Holy water; normal weapons will not injure them.[1][2]
It is said that these beings were created in response to the creation of the Suma, but they are not related to them in any way.
Further Notes[]
- The Nanka first appeared in the book House of Hell (book).[5]
- There are legends on Titan of certain adventurers travelling to the Infernal Pit and rescuing the souls of their comrades imprisoned there by the Nanka.[4]
