Nyarlathotep (The Faceless Sphinx)Source Divine Mysteries pg. 318Followers of Nyarlathotep in the guise of the Faceless Sphinx act as his agents on the edges of political circles, influencing lawmakers—with words, bribery, or magic—to enact policies that further their master’s apocalyptic goals. On Golarion, the Faceless Sphinx was worshipped in ancient Thassilon before its fall as well as in Osirion, where machinations begun in that nation’s founding years remain in motion to this day. Further cults of the Faceless Sphinx can be found planted within governments across the Universe, as well as in the
Dreamlands territory of Leng. Because the Faceless Sphinx urges his devotees to expand the congregation themselves, this form of Nyarlathotep is only rarely seen by mortals. Those unfortunate enough to have been visited by the Faceless Sphinx in person meet with an ashen-skinned, elephantine
sphinx whose countenance can only be described as a fathomless void.
