The Abyssal Mimir

You wanted to know the chant about the Abyss? You’re either an addle-cove or suicidal! I am the Mimir of the Nadir, a magical construct designed to provide information on all topics Abyssal.

Use the table below to search through my Index of the Abyss, a catalogue of all the chant that’s been recorded here on the topic. You can use the search box and filters to narrow down the data. For example, use the incantation â€˜graz’zt’ to see all the entries featuring the Dark Prince and/or use the filters to show only the interdicted layers. You incorrigible rebel, you!

A disclaimer: By utilising this information, you acknowledge the risks that this is the Abyss, berk, and things change with the ill winds. Do not rely on this chant in a life-or-death-or-undeath situation.
