Zrallee, the Guiding Mother

Zrallee is the Broodmother of Dogs, the demonic deity that rules a fraction of the Coils. She's a deity of few followers, and but a scarce number of cults worship her realm, for she stands for devolution, solitude, confinement and excessive breeding.

In the centre of her realm her mighty posture stands, rooted as a tree of flesh, towering above her subordinates and casting an ominous shadow across her realm, the mud her flesh. Her enormous, feminine face is a porcelain mask amidst all the disarray of gore, the surface smooth and untouched by bloodied stains. Within, clockwork of flesh whirls and creaks with the sound of scraping metal. When faced with the mother's wraith, her face splits like a thousand doors to swallow the offender whole into the grotesque chaos where no light reaches.

From the stem of her roots, a lithe version of herself stands connected with cables of meat, dripping with an oozing goo, translucent and crimson. Her smaller representation looks akin to a porcelain doll, her joints made of balls of mud that spin even when her puppet body is motionless. It's Zrallee's only means of travelling across her domain, and the cables that keeps her marionette connected reaches for the borders, but not beyond.

Her inner clockwork serves as a network. It keeps her connected with her children, the shak’ki (or skelk as they’re often called in mortal tongue), that serve her every whim. As a hive mind, she is the central core and her deafening whispers reach all of her children as long as they remain upon the soil, which is part of herself, from which they were spawned.

Reproduction
Zrallee only got her most recent title of ‘Broodmother of Dogs’ due circumstance; once every billion years, she requires a new seed to create her very own brood, and during this cyclus, she mated with the very first skelk; the Gatherer. Thus creating the skelk species as a whole.

The genesis stage consists the requirement of a new mate. Once she enters the incubation stage after seed has entered her reproductive organs, she may birth countless hellspawns as long as her reserves permit the exertion. She may be a deity of excessive breeding, her mana pool is not boundless and is in frequent need of recharge. The incubation stage is the longest of all three stages, but once she enters the natalpause stage, she requires a new host, one that differs from her last mate in species. Her preceding brood loses contact with the hive mind during the natalpause, and are usually eradicated by the upcoming brood during their stupor. A vicious cycle that has repeated itself boundless times in the past.
