“Lynkhab, Lady of Regret, promises ecstasy—but delivers eternal torment in the Sighing Cliffs.”
- Title: Lady of Regret
- Origin: One of the first succubi birthed from the mortal sin of lust
- Realm: The Sighing Cliffs (297th layer of the Abyss)
- Alignment: Chaotic Evil (with shades of existential despair)
- Symbol: A weeping mask split by a smile
Lynkhab is a tragic and terrifying figure among the demon lords of the Abyss, known as the Lady of Regret. Once a powerful succubus born from the sin of lust itself, Lynkhab has since evolved into something far more complex and sorrowful—a being torn between the burning need for connection and the devastating realization of its futility. She rules over the 297th layer of the Abyss, the Sighing Cliffs, a place of echoing wails and impossible terrain where despair becomes a tangible force. Her dominion is not one of cruelty for pleasure or conquest, but of endless longing, regret, and the seductive pull of oblivion.
Where others rule through dominion and strength, Lynkhab governs through emotional decay, luring mortals not just with desire but with the promise of meaning in their suffering. Her very presence is a paradox: she is the embodiment of everything one ever wanted—and the agonizing knowledge that having it will never be enough.
Lynkhab, the Lady of Regret, is a demon lord who embodies the dual forces of desire and despair. Unlike many of her Abyssal kin, she does not seek destruction for its own sake, nor does she rule through overt conquest. Instead, Lynkhab lures mortals to her realm with whispered promises of love, fulfillment, and the end of suffering—only to reveal the truth of hollow desire. Her existence is defined by the cruel irony of wanting to be free from herself, while being unable to die or find peace.
She once unmade her physical form in an effort to become pure will—a concept of want itself—but reconstituted her body in a vain effort to reconnect with the mortals she once deceived. Now, she regrets everything: her return to form, her isolation, even her continued existence.
Purpose and Motivation:
Lynkhab seeks annihilation, not of others, but of herself—a release from the endless cycle of yearning and disappointment. However, being a demon lord, she cannot simply die; her essence is anchored to the Abyss. So she tempts adventurers and powerful mortals to journey into her layer, hoping that one might be strong enough to kill her for good. Most who try either fail and perish in despair, or succeed in defeating her body—only for her to reform, cursed to continue.
Yet, there is a lingering question even she cannot answer: Does she truly want to die—or does she crave the intimacy of someone trying? This ambiguity drives her every action, making Lynkhab one of the most emotionally dangerous entities a mortal can encounter.
In essence, Lynkhab is the final seduction: not of pleasure, but of surrender.

Lady Lynkhab
Lady Lynkhab is a demon lord. She is the Lady of Desire and Depression. She is also called the Lady of Regrets and is a patroness of the self-destructive and suicidal. She was a contender for the title of “Queen of succubi,” which is currently held by Malcanthet.
Description
As Lady of Desire and Depression, Lady Lynkhab is said to represent the concept of desire and the power to express it, but only other people’s desires. Her depression stems from the fact that she cannot express or act upon her own concepts. Lynkhab has assumed many different forms throughout her existence, all supposedly based on the desires of other beings. Her current form is that of a voluptuous red-haired female elf.
However, she desperately wants to be more than a demon lord; she wants to be a true deity. Thanks to her own innate nature and the aftermath of the war with Malcanthet, she can’t advance herself to anything more. Even though she still rules her own layer of the Abyss, Lynkhab is said to frequently wander the plane, looking for anyone who can end her miserable existence.
Relationships
Lynkhab once warred with Malcanthet, Xinivrae, and Shami-Amourae for the title of Queen of succubi.
Realm
Lynkhab rules the 297th layer of the Abyss called The Sighing Cliffs.
History
Very little has been revealed about Lynkhab except that she, Malcanthet, Xinivrae, and Shami-Amourae were among the first of the succubi to spontaneously arise from the Abyss from the mortal sin of lust. These succubi warred amongst themselves for rulership and supremacy over their race and in the end, Malcanthet assumed the title of Queen of succubi. Xinivrae and Shami-Amourae, have either been exiled or imprisoned by Malcanthet. Lynkhab herself survived the war but is said to be but a shadow of her former glory.

Ambition (Su): Lynkhab can install blind ambition in a creature with her gaze. Will DC 45 negates. A creature who fails begins to ignore reasonable obstacles to his demands. He grows angry and attacks the closest or most responsible creature anytime his slightest wish is delayed or denied.
Call Demons (Sp): 3/day, Lynkhab can call 3d10 succubi or 1d8 kelvezu. The succubi have double hit dice and maximum hit points.
Depression (Su): Those within 100 feet of Lynkhab realize feelings of melancholy and depression. Those that fail a Will save (DC 51) suffer a -10 penalty to initiative and have a 50% chance each round of taking no action at all as they brood morosely. This depression fades 1 hour after leaving the aura.
Life Drain (Su): Lynkhab can drain energy by luring a living creature into an act of passion or planting a kiss on the victim. An unwilling target must be grappled in order to do so. The kiss or embrace bestows two negative levels. The kiss also has the effect of a suggestion spell, asking the victim to accept another kiss. A Will save (DC 45) negates the suggestion. The DC to remove the negative level is 45.

Currently in the World
Lynkhab, the Lady of Regret, is a Demon Lord whose dominion lies not in fire or slaughter, but in memory’s aftermath—the lingering ache that follows failure, guilt, and lost choices.
Her throne lies in the Sighing Cliffs, a mournful realm within the Abyss, far from the blood-wars and roaring savagery of her kind. Here, echoes drift across grey coastlines, and the sea murmurs forgotten names beneath skies of ash.
She rules not by force, but by offering what no mortal god dares: freedom from remembrance.
Role in 1453: The Fall of Constantinople
The world teeters.
To the east, the disciplined hobgoblin empire known as the Akhar Dominion rises—its legions, clad in dark bronze and firesteel, surrounding the once-impregnable city of Constantinople. Their High Khan, Meh’med Kar-Azul II, is not merely a conqueror—he is a zealot of logic, order, and mortal supremacy. He dreams of a world without gods.
As the siege begins, divine intervention falters. Miracles fail. Auguries go silent.
A different power answers.
Lynkhab has come.
She does not stride the battlefield. She walks the city’s dying alleys. She appears in dreams, behind mirrors, in the second before final decisions. Her power grows with every soul who asks, “What if I had chosen differently?”
Who Is Lynkhab?
Lynkhab is an ancient demon, perhaps older than many of the Abyssal lords of wrath and hunger. She was not shaped by war, but by human thought itself—the first time a mind turned inward and wept for what could not be undone.
She once walked among succubi and tempters, but she ascended by embracing what even fiends feared: the quiet despair that festers in silence.
She has no armies. No banners. No throne of skulls.
And yet, she is worshipped in secret throughout the mortal world—by those who seek not power, but erasure.
The Sighing Cliffs (Abyssal Layer 72)
The Sighing Cliffs are her dominion:
A desolate shoreline on the 72nd layer of the Abyss, where sorrow takes form and memory is a tide that never recedes.
Souls wander endlessly here, not in torment, but in stillness. They have bargained away their memories, or been gifted forgetfulness by Lynkhab’s touch. They are not punished—they are simply absent from themselves.
The cliffs are quiet. The sea whispers. And atop the highest ledge, Lynkhab listens to it all.
Her Goals
Lynkhab does not seek conquest or cosmic ascension. She wants only one thing: release.
Not for herself—but for the world.
Every war, every betrayal, every broken promise feeds her power. But she is weary of it. She wants a moment, a mortal, or a world to say: “This was enough.” To accept the past, not flee from it.
And in that moment, she believes she might finally end.
But until then, she walks unseen between moments of regret.
Interactions in the Campaign
Lynkhab appears sparingly—always tied to moments of personal or civilizational collapse.
She may approach a player in a dream, asking what memory they would give to escape their fate. She may offer visions to generals, kings, or tyrants: lives unchosen, futures undone.
To a grieving widow, she offers forgetfulness.
To a warlord, she offers clarity—if only he surrenders the part of him that still remembers mercy.
She never lies. She never bargains twice. She does not tempt with lust or greed—only with the gentlest question:
“Do you want to forget?”
Worship and Influence
Lynkhab has no formal temples.
But in every civilization, cults emerge quietly during times of ruin. Mourning chambers hold candles in her name. Pilgrims travel to cliffs and lakes known for mysterious disappearances, hoping to find her.
In some libraries, forbidden grimoires speak of the Unwording, a ritual to summon her in the last moment before despair.
No one claims to follow her. And yet, her sigil is always freshly drawn wherever great regret has bloomed.
Final Words
Lynkhab is not a villain in the conventional sense. She is not wrath, nor hunger, nor lust.
She is the shadow left by a life half-lived.
She is the silence after the scream.
She is the comfort of forgetting what once mattered.
In an age where gods retreat, empires fall, and monsters rise with purpose, she offers something more dangerous than damnation:
Peace.
And if you listen long enough, she will find you.
Not with chains or claws, but with a whisper:
“You don’t have to remember. Just let go.”
