What happens to those poor creatures who neglect the gods or their alignments? If they are unlucky enough to die without recommitting themselves to a fixed path they may find themselves on a razor's edge - neither Good or Evil¸ but too passionate to dwell in purgatorial realms. This delicate state can shred the psyche of indecisive souls¸ leaving behind mad shades which are almost impossible to reason with.
These cursed allips exist on multiple planes at once¸ flickering in and out of existence and warping the minds of nearby creatures. They have no fixed lairs¸ but some are drawn to locations from their pasts while others are attracted to powerful magics which echo across the planes.
Sadly¸ their lack of purpose means cursed allips have little purpose in the grand scheme of reality. Some scholars have tried to argue a deeper meaning for their existence¸ but in all practical terms there are nuisances at best and fatal hazards at worst. Fortunately for monster hunters¸ this makes cursed allips into lucrative bounties.
