It describes the Mother of Demons, Pale Night, an entity censored and regarded as anathema by the gods, whose existence survives only through scattered whispers and unreliable accounts. It outlines Pale Night’s inscrutability, her progeny’s vast scope, her origins tied to obyrith lore, and competing theories about the Abyss as creator and cradle of

few are as infamous as the Demonomicon. Spread across seven volumes bound in demon leather and locked tight by heavy clawed clasps, the Demonomicon is a repository of profane knowledge on the depths and denizens of the Abyss.  \nScrawled across its cursed pages is secret lore that enables the summoning and binding of various demon  \nlords, notes on the nature and geography of the Abyss, and magical rituals of utmost evil.  \nPurposely dispersed across the multiverse, even one volume by itself holds incredibly dangerous knowledge.  \nThe Mother of Demons  \nOur understanding of the heinous rulers of the Abyss, the demon lords, is pieced together from scant accounts derived from interrogations of summoned demons, orgleaned from the mad ravings of mortals trapped in homicidal delirium.  \nSuch knowledge is both inestimably valuable and dangerous, for through it can scholars piece together the demon lords’ machinations and best prepare for the existential threats they pose. Vast catalogs of knowledge exist on Orcus and Demogorgon and on countless  \nlesser, but by no means weaker, Abyssal lords. As such mortality can best anticipate the horrors that they seek to unleash.  \nBut for all the terrors that have been uncovered, one defies placement. There exists an entity within the Abyss that stands alongside the greatest of the demon lords, but defies any placement within their ranks. Much of the information concerning it comes as whispers, rumors, and hearsay from raving Abyssal explorers,  \n2  \nalong with genuine duplicity and misinformation. An enigma from the black, beating heart of the Abyss itself.  \nAlthough there is no formal name for this being, it is known by a simple moniker: Pale Night.  \nThe reason it is so hard to piece together such information is because it is censored by the gods themselves. Pale Night is regarded as an anathema, an insult to creation itself, and as such knowledge of her has been scrubbed from many worlds. Those mortals who discern Pale Night’s existence are either condemned to wrestling with their sanity forever in secret, or hunted down and silenced as heretics against reality.  \nAs such a comprehensive treatise on Pale Night is almost impossible to find on any given mortal world. Most of what is known is cobbled together from scant and dubious sources originating from the Abyss itself, as Pale Night is widely acknowledged within.  \nEven so the entity remains inscrutable. Her actions are whimsical and capricious. She does not indulge in heinous vices like other demon lords, involve herself in the Blood War, or attempt petty power-grabs for Abyssal territory.  \nEven her true form is unknown, as those who claim to have seen her simply perceive a veil covering a supple female form.  \nThere are none alive who have seen beneath this veil, as it shrouds a truth, it is said, so inestimably horrifying that it is impossible for the mind to handle. Those who behold it die from sheer terror, and the few that survive have memory of what they have seen.  \nLittle else can be said of this being for certain, other than the fact that Pale Night has sired an incredible amount of progeny. Some sources cite her as no less than the creator of the entire tanar’ri race. As such it has earned her an epithet: the Mother of Demons.  \nThe scope of Pale Night’s brood varies depending on the source, but by all accounts it is inestimably large.
