The Abyssilyn Kraken

The most elusive of the patrons supposedly no one has ever seen the Abyssilyn kraken face to face. The majority of people who do learn about it's existence do so when it contacts them through dreams and hallucinations. Often it will abstain from identifying itself to individuals outside of its house when it contacts them and instead frames any communications it presents to such students in a more deceptive way that might allude to internal issues with the psyche or to more mundane sources.

Despite no official records existing of direct contact with the patron, enough students and professors have had distant interactions with what they believe was the patron to began to amass a collection of minor details regarding it's appearance. While depictions range notably between illustrations drawing upon the archived accounts of proposed contacts, several key features tend to remain constant, chiefly among them being the depiction of many, if not countless tentacles, which truly sets the patron apart from cephalopod and similar creatures. Additionally, the accounts seem to suggest the presence of a horrific mouthed face upon the patron, as opposed a more subdued and hidden beak. Finally, an abundance of orbs or even misplaced eyes are a common allegation made when defining what one glanced within the fitted, fevered nightmares.

The most dedicated seekers of esoteric knowledge within the House of Abyssilyn do however, on occasion learn the Kraken's name, Aboragail. It is said that the name is even used as a verbal key to gain membership to one of the many fabled secret societies of Scholomance, the Rivermen. Those who do know the name ubiquitously refuse to to admit what they know or share the secret with others who are not themselves a part of the Rivermen. Furthermore, those who have learned the name also display an unusually potent ability to guard against mentalism.

## Aboragail (Spoilers)

One of only two of the patrons to identity itself with a name of it's own, Aboragail is highly manipulative and cunning and will act without remorse or concern for individuals to achieve its goals. As with all the patrons, Aboragail is singular in it's desires, which could be surmised simply as the protection of Scholomance. Aboragail primarily achieves this through the subtle manipulation of events. Aboragail rarely takes physical actions and has never breached the surface with more then a single tentacle at a time. However, should ever a significant enough threat present itself Aboragail would indeed rise from it's waters revealing not only its complete mastery over psychic assaults, aeromancy, and hydromancy but also it's indominable form.

Aboragail is actually not a kraken despite popular assumptions, rather she is a mutant leviathan fostered into being by the founders themselves as the final and ultimate guardian of Scholomance. Aboragail is devoid of human emotion, however it does comprehend the concept of emotions and will utilize them to exploit vulnerabilities and even to condition it's victims. On average Aboragail may psychically contact one person per decade, or even none, however there have been years wherein it reached out to influence hundreds of individuals simultaneously. Their awareness is not omnipotent however, as they can only psychically observe several dozen people at any given time. Aboragail concern itself with lesser threats, nor is it infallible as it's mental scrying can both be subverted through protective charms as well as misinformed through the creation of false memories; both of which are personal weaknesses it is aware it has.
