Influence on the Possessed

Partially Possessed by Lilith

• Seducers: Partially possessed individuals who channel Lilith’s seductive powers. They become irresistible to others, but their touch can drain the life force from their victims.
• Nightwalkers: Those who gain control over darkness, able to move through shadows and become nearly invisible in the night. They often struggle with maintaining their sanity as the darkness whispers to them.

Fully Possessed by Lilith

• Succubi/Incubi: Fully possessed followers who act as Lilith’s agents, spreading her influence and corrupting others. They are powerful, charismatic, and deadly, often leading cults in her name.
• Night Lords/Ladies: Elite followers who have fully embraced Lilith’s gifts, becoming her most trusted and powerful servants. They have near-total control over darkness and can command legions of lesser demons.

Her actions and the actions of her followers often disrupt the fragile balance of power, pushing the world further into chaos. She seeks to overthrow the established order and bring about a new era where her followers reign supreme.
