Bel-Shamharoth

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

From Terry Pratchett's Discworld series of novels, Bel-Shamharoth is also known as The "Soul-Eater", the "Soul-Render", or the "Sender of Eight". He is completely lacking in vitality so therefore cannot even be considered Evil. He is the opposite of Good and Evil. He is likely one of the creatures of the Dungeon Dimensions who has survived in our world. The inner dimensions of his eight-sided temple disobey a fairly basic rule of architecture by being bigger on the inside than on the outside, like many other Discworld buildings. It is quite disgusting, full of tunnels covered with unpleasant carvings and disjointed skeletons, and lit by a violet light almost black. The eight-sided crystals set at intervals shed a rather unpleasant glow that doesn't light the room, rather emphasizing the darkness. The floor is covered with eight-sided tiles (note that this should be impossible, as octagons do not tessellate) and the walls slope to create eight-sided corridors. Even the stones can sometimes be seen to have eight sides. All routes lead to the centre, where an intense violet light illuminates a wide room with eight walls and eight passages. In the room, there is a low, eight-sided alter and a huge stone slab, also eight-sided, and slightly tilted. Under that is a black tentacled creature with an enormous eye and thousands of suckers and tentacles and mandibles --- Bel-Shamharoth.

The temple is long since abandoned, worship of the Sender of Eight being a decidedly short term prospect. These days he is mostly remembered in the name of the Young Men's Reformed Cultist of the Ichor God Bel-Shamharoth Association.
