The Night Mother's Chosen were once a powerful and feared organization, composed of individuals enthralled to fanatical obedience and devotion to their dark patron, the Night Mother Nyx. Drawn into her web of deception and control, these individuals were convinced by Nyx that she was their true mother, the benevolent creator who had given them the world in which they lived. This belief was so deeply ingrained that the Chosen viewed themselves as eternally in her debt, bound by gratitude and loyalty even as they suffered under her cruel whims and tormenting wishes.
Nyx's ability to manipulate her Chosen was unparalleled. She knew how to exploit their deepest desires and fears, offering them power, knowledge, or protection in exchange for their unwavering loyalty. Through her cunning, she convinced them that any pain or suffering she inflicted upon them was a necessary part of their ascension, a rite of passage that would eventually lead them to greatness. This twisted sense of devotion made the Chosen among the most loyal and dangerous of her servants, willing to do anything to please their dark matron.
One of the most notable instances of Nyx's manipulation was her ensnarement of the Wargrym noble house from the Empire of Bastile. Radegast Wargrym, a powerful and ambitious warlord of the conquest-driven noble house, was lured into her servitude with promises of unimaginable power. Under her influence, Radegast became a fanatical servant, leading the Chosen in their attempts to spread Nyx's influence and overthrow the established powers of The Netherveil.
The Chosen played a significant role during the Battle of the Four Armies, where they sought to tip the scales in Nyx's favor. However, their forces were spread thin and ultimately defeated. Radegast Wargrym, once a proud and feared noble, met his end at the hands of his own nephew, Galahad Wargrym, who had sworn to rid the world of his uncle's cursed legacy. Karliah Fall, another of Nyx's favored Chosen, fell to the merciless onslaught of the Crimson Hand, her life extinguished in the chaos of the battle.
With the Chosen scattered and their forces decimated, the Night Mother Nyx was left vulnerable. The defeat of her most loyal followers left her exposed in the struggle for power within the Netherveil, leading to her eventual downfall. Despite her death at the hands of Valekith, the legacy of the Chosen lingers as a dark reminder of Nyx's cursed influence and the destructive potential of those who fall under her thrall.
Even in death, the influence of the Night Mother's Chosen persists. The remnants of their organization are scattered across the realms, their loyalties fractured, but the memory of their devotion to Nyx endures...
