Description

To understand the nature of the Matriarchs of Ecstasy, it is necessary to first understand the nature of demons. As demons corrupt and destroy the material planes, they retain some of the energy that would otherwise return to the forges of creation. Swollen with stolen vitality, the Matriarchs are larger and possess more personality than their lesser brethren. Their power acts like a lodestone, bringing followers to their call and commanding obedience and respect.

Matriarchs of Ecstasy tend to follow one of three paths: the Priestess, the Noble, or the Feral. Adherents to each path have a specific focus that allows them to harvest and retain even more energy. A Matriarch that has become imbued with enough power can shed the vestiges of personality and become a true embodiment of Ecstasy, evolving into a glorious Queen. For those too mired in the petty concerns of individuality, rebirth as a demonic Lady awaits.
