==Description==
Lupercio is an [[Abyssal lord]], called the Baron of Sloth. A son of [[Pale Night]] and an unknown father, he is also the embodiment of the strength of darkness. The darkness of his body spills for miles, with only his smiling maw visible to his victims. Shadow fiends cluster around him, eagerly feeding on his limitless shadows.
Lupercio is ebon-colored, indistinct in form. Because he projects darkness around him for ten miles, it is impossible to distinguish the darkness of his body from its surroundings. That is, except for three signs: his smiling maw, his basso tittering laugh, and his incredible strength. Shadow fiends swarm about, feeding on the shadows surounding him. Lupercio vacillates between periods of utter indolence and periods of manic activity in which he speeds through tasks with blinding precision.

His home layer, the Slugbed, is covered with his filth and dung, but also contains clouds of radiance, beautiful forests and graceful castles - there is no overriding theme. Sometimes his presence oozes onto other layers of the [[Abyss]]; Lupercio seems to hardly know the difference.
Lupercio's home layer, the Slugbed, is a foggy domain containing shallow seas, forests, and subterranean vaults. All of it teams with fiendish gastropods. High overhead, above the concealing fog, are majestic castles filled with angelic beings that some believe are attempting to convert Slugbed into a realm of good. Lupercio does not care.

Description

That is, except for three signs: his smiling maw, his basso tittering laugh, and his incredible strength. Shadow fiends swarm about, feeding on the shadows surounding him. Lupercio vacillates between periods of utter indolence and periods of manic activity in which he speeds through tasks with blinding precision.

Realm

Lupercio's home layer, the Slugbed, is a foggy domain containing shallow seas, forests, and subterranean vaults. All of it teams with fiendish gastropods. High overhead, above the concealing fog, are majestic castles filled with angelic beings that some believe are attempting to convert Slugbed into a realm of good. Lupercio does not care.

Lupercio has small lairs on other layers ranging from cramped hovels, to graceful castles, to dung-filled riverbeds.

Worshipers

Lupercio's lengthy periods of inactivity prevent him from gaining a following.
