Goads of Destruction

The Goads of Destruction are the immortal entities that cause chaos and disharmony among mortals.

Appearance
The Goads consist of sixteen immortal beings that all resemble audelans. They have varying measurements, color schemes, clothing, and genders.

Personality
The Goads all look down upon mortals, but that is pretty much the only similarity among all of them.

History
Long ago, the Goads roamed Audel freely. They would unexpectedly come into cities, stores, and even citizens' homes for no apparent reason. After awhile, mortals became fed up with the way the Goads treated them, so they sent a hero to go stop them. The hero placed a seal on each of them, trapping them inside. But, the seals would not work forever, so they were placed in a glass box. For the longest time, the box was displayed in a museum in Azmarin.

One day, a elementary school class came to visit the museum. One of the students there was Siegfield Hartbrand. Siegfield believed that it was stupid to think that the Goads were real, so to prove his point, he took his rock, threw at the case, and shattered the glass. His classmates and his teacher, as well as various bystanders, stared in horror silently, as the seals fell to the ground, their metal clanging against the tile floor. The Goads did not emerge immediately, which gave the mortals time to transport them to a place where they would not harm anyone. The seals were then hastily taken to Fratrem, where the Goads still remain.

The Seals
The seals of the Goads are very odd, magical things. Each seal is a piece of bronze metal carved into a specific shape and are the size of a teacup saucer. The seals, when placed on the Goads, trapped them inside. However, after the seals were removed from the glass box, they worked very differently. The seals now make a mortal able to "slay" one of the Goads, which upon "death", they will retreat back into the seal to recover. This gives mortals the chance to put them in captivity again. The seals can only be removed by a mortal. When removed, the Goad will no longer be affected by the seal, and will not be able to "die".

Each of the Goads has a different seal:
 * Thánato has a seal in the shape of a scythe on under his left eye.
 * Krísi has a seal in the shape of a gavel on her left palm.
 * Kólasi has a seal in the shape of a demon's tail on the back of her neck.
