Moons of Ionia

Aatrox has been loosed upon the mortal plane. A creature born in the heart of the Blood Moon, he is the progenitor of all demons, and a malignant darkness that will consume the entire world.

Aatrox

An ancient cult, seeking irresistible power, surfaces on nights of the Blood Moon to perform profane, esoteric rites—merging their flesh with demonic spirits, and becoming one with an ever greater darkness.

A voice echoes from the silence: “Writhe, beasts, brethren. The moons of a doomed Ionia rise like eyes of starved demons, awaiting the red of your fealty—or are they monstrous blights that cannot pass? Either way, we are vessels plunged in ritual and sacrifice. At the moon's peak, we carve flesh from flesh, offering the meager gift of all that we are.”

Ancient manuscripts tracking the orbit of the Blood Moon describe it not as celestial phenomenon, but as a cosmic womb. As the seasons grow shorter and the cult's activity continues to increase, some worry it will give birth to a new kind of demon—a creature helping to bring about its own dark ascendance.
