#nemesis Arachnos is a nemesis from The New Age.

The New Age mat lore: "Arachnos was once one of us, a trusted breach mage and friend. He was deeply devoted to Xaxos's ideals and tried to replicate his experiments, claiming that the adverse side effects could be allayed if he just did more research. When the Council of Elders condemned his work and forced him to stop, he grew angry. He organized a group of like-minded individuals and led them in rebellion against New Gravehold. Outnumbered and overpowered, they were eventually banished from the safe harbor of the city they had scorned. Exile did not hinder his thirst for knowledge, however, as he and his followers continued working on Xaxos's experiments, even improving upon the original designs. Arachnos was consumed by the belief that the power of the Nameless could be harnessed to protect humanity, a belief which drove him to cut corners in his research and rush towards a dangerous and poorly tested ritual. The corrupted results of these rituals still haunt the woods. Citizens of New Gravehold consider Arachnos dealt with, reduced to a simple life in the wilds. I worry what would happen if they should learn about his true fate and the power he attained. We are surrounded not only by monsters, but by enemies of our own kind as well." ― Brama

Arachnos is the narrator of the mat lore for Fenrix.
