Malcanthet
The Queen of Succubi
Planar tanar’ri lord of seduction, temptation, sexuality [she/her] / CE
Lair: Abyss / Layer 570 — Shendilavri
Malcanthet sits upon the Razor Throne of Shendilavri, the 570th layer of the Abyss, which she has transformed into a paradise of rolling green hills along the shores of an ocean perpetually bathed in the glow of sunset. Towers of white stone complete the illusion of some Upper Planar haven, though within are demons given over to shocking and aberrant deeds of hedonism run amok, acts in pursuit of both pain and pleasure that would tear the mortal mind asunder to experience. Beneath every surface the corrupt lusts and writhing fleshly cravings of the layer are only barely concealed.
Malcanthet is served by countless succubi and incubi as well as cambion guards. Her daughter by Pazuzu, Red Shroud, is the leader of the town of Broken Reach. She once had a dalliance with Demogorgon and now considers the Prince of Demons a hated foe. Her throne was in an ancient era contested by other powerful succubi, though her three greatest rivals—Lynkhab, Shami-Amourae, and Xinivrae—all fell before her and suffered various fates in their turn. Malcanthet commands the status of a demon prince.
