Part 3

Abaddon's kingdom resides in a world uninhabited by man, a world engulfed in death & misery. Charon, ferryman of the dead transports both the living & the dead across the river Styx to the underworld, where Abaddon's kingdom resides. In Abaddon's kingdom, known as Anubis, there inhabits an arsenal of creatures all of whom live to serve Abaddon. There's Sekhmet, said to be one of the fiercest & deadliest of warriors often depicted as a lioness, one of the fiercest hunters known in the underworld. It is said that her breath created the desert. She's primarily seen as the protector of Abaddon. Then there's Oya, mistress of wind, lightning, fire, and magic. She creates hurricanes and tornadoes and guards the underworld. It is said that she can summon tornadoes by whirling her skirt as she dances. There's also Cerberus, a three-headed hound who guards the gates of Anubis to prevent those who have crossed the river Styx from ever escaping. The Sphinx: a monster with a head of a woman, the body of a lioness, the wings of an eagle, and a serpent headed tail is said to have guarded the entrance to the empire of Anubis by asking a riddle to travelers if they wish safe passage. Those who could not answer the riddle would be devoured whole.
