The Adversary

The Adversary is the primary antagonist of Twelve Stars of Taneth.

Background
The Adversary is a physical manifestation of Padomey or Sithis. It is a force of Entropy and seeks only to destroy Complexity, it's opposite, expressed in entities Anu-Ei or Anu. When the Crimson Archer became a vessel for the Shehai (a force of complexity), but was unable to properly use the it, the Shehai "built up" within him. The Adversary was drawn to this great wealth of Shehai. Since so much of the Shehai/Complexity existed in the mortal world, thanks to Crimson, the Adversary was allowed to exist in the mortal world for extended periods of time as well (thanks to the inherent, neutral balance between Complexity and Entropy). The Adversary's plan was to take advantage of it's connection to Crimson and be able to exist permenantly in the mortal world, from where it could proper destroy it.

When Crimson finally managed to use the Shehai, the Adversary's plans began to crumble. Crimson managed to completely foil them by ridding himself of the ability to use the Shehai. Without a net equal existing in the mortal world, the Adversary lost it's anchor, and was returned to whence it came.

Trivia

 * The Adversary is likely to return again, as it is relentless, and with a vengence.
 * The Adversary is known to make and keep bargains with mortals, to the letter.
 * The Adversary is incapable of change.  Unlike Anu, which creates things, Padomey is only capable of destroying.  This is different from it's offspring, the Daedra, who are chaotic beings by nature.
