Oublivae
She is the Angel of the Everlasting Void, the Oublivae Level 30 Solo Controller
Demon Monarch of the Barrens, and the Queen of
Desolation. Oublivae stalks the empty wastelands,
lurks within abandoned shrines and toppled ruins,
and haunts the trackless seas and the starry void
between planes and worlds.
Lore
History DC 33: It is said that the monster Oubli-
vae crawled up to the Barrens in an unknown age,
making her way into the wasteland from the bot-
tomless ruins of that blasted realm. Her head is that
of a resplendent fey queen, mounted atop a lustrous
insectoid exoskeleton. When the demon lord Ugoreth
espied her, he surrounded the creature with his ser-
vants and demanded servitude. In response, Oublivae
told Ugoreth that she was a herald come from the
heart of the Abyss with a message only for him.
Blinded by his own vanity, the demon lord granted
her private audience. As soon as they were alone,
Oublivae attacked the hapless Ugoreth, consuming
his soul and hurling his body into the bottomless
ruin from which she had risen. She laid waste to his
demesne, made a throne of his castle, and became
undisputed Queen of the Barrens.
Encounters
Whatever the truth of her origins, Oublivae’s eternal
work is to divide what is united, isolate those divided
pieces, and leave only barren, lifeless desolation in
her destructive wake. She allies with select demon
lords to limit the expansion of others’ realms, helping
to perpetuate the endless cycle of violence and chaos
that drives the Abyss.
Oublivae’s followers in the Abyss live by her exam-
ple of hopelessness, stalking desolate areas, driving
lost travelers to madness or cannibalism, then con-
suming them. Demons and undead not sworn to the
service of Orcus attend the Demon Monarch of the
Barrens, dedicating themselves to the ruin that is her
legacy.

 Oublivae in Combat In the cities, the most desolate slums and demol-

It is said that Oublivae has the mind of an ageless
archfey and the heart of a rabid beast. When the
demon is provoked, her royal demeanor vanishes
quicker than thought, and she attacks on all fours like
an animal. Driving her foes apart and imposing isola-
tion, she hunts them down one by one.
The Queen of Desolation reveals the future to
would-be heroes, allowing them to experience the
ruin of their civilization and all they hold dear while
she savors their abandoned hopes. She particularly
relishes the grief of those enemies who die alone.
Oublivae likewise delights in the horror of creatures
forced to watch their allies slain and consumed, their
blood lapped up by her long, ghoulish tongue.
O U B L I VA E
ished quarters are Oublivae’s haunts. In such places,
anarchists, barbarians, and city corruptor demons
(page 108) plot to topple the towers and walls of civi-
lization, making new barrens of glorious cityscapes.
Oublivae out of Combat
If Oublivae has a weakness, it is her fascination for
history. Her knowledge is rivaled only by that of
Iggwilv, Vecna, and Graz’zt, although her own inter-
ests extend only to accounts of downfall and ruin.
Nonetheless, heroes brave enough to treat with the
Queen of Desolation can discover long-forgotten
secrets by asking the right questions.

Oublivae Secrets
Ancient legends tell of a legendary astral domain
called the Coruscating Utopia—a glittering realm
where the ultimate potential of every city in
the cosmos was reflected in perfection. Its
ruler was named the Lord of the Diamond
Crown, and he proclaimed it the pinnacle
of the universe’s grandest dream. The
legend states that an angel appeared from
a void in the Astral Sea, warning the lord
of the evils of his vanity.
When the lord asked whose authority
she spoke with, the angel drew forth her
sword and slew him where he stood. His
vast shimmering realm collapsed and fell into
the lightless void from whence the angel had
come. It became the Barrens, the distorted
realm of the 100th layer of the Abyss, where
every city past and future lies ruined among
its desolate wilds and vast oceans.
Iggwilv suspects that the despoiler
of the Coruscating Utopia and Oubli-
vae might both be personifications of
the seed of absolute evil that lies at the
heart of the Abyss—its incalculable chaos
manifesting as a semblance of life and
thought.

Oublivae’s Cult
In the world, Oublivae’s subjects are
the peoples of the barren places—savage
humanoids, pirates and outlaws, headhunt-
ers and cannibals. They paint and tattoo
their skin in imitation of the graven spirals
on the demon queen’s body. For her glory, they
consume the blood and flesh of other humanoids
to gain strength and power.
