Atlach-Nacha

## The Dreamweaver

*Ever-weaving, ever watching, should Atlach-Nacha ever complete her empyrean masterpiece, it would merge the firmaments of the Dreamlands and reality into a single cosmic ingress, opening the way for the horrors of the Underworld to wage war upon the cities of humanity.*

## Rulings, clarifications, and reminders

When a Cultist is spawned, it will always move to another space due to the Cultist itself being a Monster.

## Lore

*Beware the moonlit shadows that cling to the corners of the cosmos, for within the cosmic tapestry, there exists a nightmarish weaver, an entity whose macabre dance threads the fabric of reality itself. This is the tale of Atlach-Nacha, the Spider God, whose dark presence weaves a web of horror that ensnares the minds of those who dare to uncover its eldritch secrets.*

*In the forgotten recesses of the Dreamlands, beyond the realms of mortal understanding, Atlach-Nacha waits in the stygian depths of its desolate domain. An arachnid deity of grotesque proportions, its form defies earthly logic, with countless spindly legs that writhe and skitter in unsettling harmony. In the cold, alien glow that illuminates its web, Atlach-Nacha spins a tapestry of nightmares, drawing upon the fears and phobias that lurk within the souls of mortals.*

*Legends speak of a forsaken cavern, concealed in the heart of a desolate realm where reality itself seems to unravel. In that stygian abyss, Atlach-Nacha's monstrous lair echoes with the haunting clicks and whispers of a thousand unseen arachnid legs. The air is thick with a palpable malevolence, and the shadows dance with the anticipation of horrors that transcend mortal comprehension.*

*It is said that Atlach-Nacha, in its insatiable hunger for the forbidden threads of existence, beckons to those who seek forbidden knowledge. Those who, driven by insatiable curiosity or reckless ambition, dare to traverse the astral planes may find themselves ensnared in the eldritch web woven by the Spider God. Once trapped within its gossamer strands, the unfortunate souls become puppets to Atlach-Nacha's nightmarish whims.*

*The spider deity, with its ceaseless weaving, spins the fates of those entangled in its cosmic snare. Minds unravel like fragile silk, sanity slipping away with each agonizing moment spent within the clutches of the arachnid nightmare. The victims are left as hollow shells, forever ensnared in the inescapable threads of Atlach-Nacha's loathsome tapestry.*

*Whispers of the Spider God's influence reach across dimensions, seeping into the dreams of those susceptible to its malevolent call. Its web, a reflection of the cosmic horrors that lurk beyond mortal comprehension, stretches across the boundaries of reality, leaving an indelible mark on the minds of those who dare to explore the forbidden corners of the Dreamlands.*

*And so, in the eerie silence of the cosmic void, Atlach-Nacha continues its unholy dance, weaving a symphony of horror that resonates through the aether. Those who hear its nightmarish melody are forever marked, their souls entwined in the insidious threads of the Spider God's eternal tapestry*
