Basheklet

Basheklet

Aspect: Cosmic · Nation: Zarakar

Overview

Though just recently archived, Basheklet is believed to be one of the first Chronikin to appear in the physical world. The undulating mass of purple liquid seems to contain no internal body, though it does appear to have celestial bodies within its dense interior. The tendrils that sprout from its pooled body can create constructs and thus Basheklet is tied to many creation myths.
