## Miscellaneous

### Location:

Castle of the Dead: Catacombs - Path A
Twisted Realm

## Background

Chaos brought forth children including Gaia, Eros, Erebus and Tartarus. Gaia brought forth Ouranos, who would become a couple and bring forth the Titans. She also brought forth and marry Pontus, who according to mythology is the father and husband of Ceto. Gaia also has a husband named Hydros, a self-emerged deity that brought forth the primordial time god Chronos. Erebus brought forth Thanatos, Lahkesis, Atropos, Clotho as well as Aether. His wife Nyx also brought forth Arae, who became the stepdaughters of Erebus. Tartarus is the brother and another husband of Gaia, who brought forth the titan Typhon. Tartarus embodies the Pits of Tartarus, the deep prison in the Underworld that contains the demons Satan/Beelzebub and Belial, which has the same name.

## Appearance

The Arae have wings and are always holding a card with the kanji “呪” meaning Curse.

## Abilities

### Curse

The Arae can place curses on the evil souls, depending on the sin.

### Immortality

Like other Primordials, the Arae had the potential to live forever and could only be destroyed by beings of equal or greater power. They are personifications of the eternity of nature and the universe.

### Invulnerability

Like other Primordials, the Arae impervious to mortal harm and could only be harmed by one or another beings of greater power. They are beings of pure elements and cosmic, not bound by the weaknesses of flesh, blood, bone, energy, and soul, unlike the Titans and Olympians.

### Vast Divine Powers

As the creators of the entire universe, the Arae, like other Primordials possessed astronomically cosmic and pure elemental powers. Given the fact that they predate the Sisters of Fate, not even Fate itself holds sway over the Primordials.

### Absolute Strength

The Arae and other Primordials' size and mass contribute to their astronomical superhuman strength and durability, making them more likely to be superior to Titans, Olympians, and any other creature less than a Primordial. This makes them possibly the strongest beings.

### Unlimited Stamina

The Arae, like other Primordials, are not subject to fatigue. They could wage war for centuries without rest or relent.

### Near-infinite Durability

The Arae and other Primordials are beings of pure elemental and cosmic forces. They are flawlessly indestructible and are capable of withstanding powerful blows and colossal amounts of pain for billions of years without showing any signs of exhaustion.

## Olympian's Crown

### Motive

The knight tells you about his fellow rebels that are awaiting to be cursed. To help them from the fate of being cursed, you bring along maximum of 3 phantom knights and they will assist in your fight. After Thanatos is introduced, the knight will try to go somewhere. You can ignore the knight and move forward to fight the Arae.

### Battle

The boss fight involves fighting multiple Arae. They attack by placing curses at you. If you have a phantom knight (or all 3) with you, the Arae may also try to attack them by placing curses targeting them which will rapidly deplete their health. If they are killed in this manner, they will be turned into cursed souls and you'll be forced to fight them as well. Their attacks are unremarkable by themselves but the fight is made challenging by the phantom knight(s) you have to protect (you will want to have all 3 as each one gives bonus points to your end score). The key is to end the fight as fast as you can to lessen the chances of the phantom knights taking any damage or potentially getting turned. The good side of the knights is that they will assist you in fighting the Arae.
