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.
* Ouranós has a seal in the shape of a pair of wings on the bridge of his nose.
* Katáktisi has a seal in the shape of a bow and arrow on his chest.
* Pólemos has a seal in the shape of a sword on his right shoulder.
* Peína has a seal in the shape of a balance scale on his back.
* Totos has a seal in the shape of a scythe with a bow on the handle on her forehead.
* Porneia has a seal in the shape of the symbol of Venus (female symbol) just above her right breast.
* Gastrimargia has a seal in the shape of a bunch of grapes on her stomach.
* Akēdia has a seal in the shape of a cloud on her right cheek.
* Hyperēphania has a seal in the shape of a star on the top of her head.
* Lypē has a seal in the shape of a coiled snake on the back of her left hand.
* Phylargyria has a seal in the shape of a faceted diamond the back of her head.
* Orgē has a seal in the shape of a flame on her right forearm.
* Kenodoxia has a seal in the shape of a speech bubble between her collarbones.
