Lore[]
Item Descriptions[]
It's another moonless night. The chain hooked up a rotten scroll. The ghost opens eyes and sees her frost-like hair.
— Ghost Angel
No matter how hard it is, death is the final goodbye. As life stops, all the regrets and struggles are to no avail.
— Unavailing Leaving
The souls trapped in the mortal world because of emotions and desires will bid farewell under her guide.
— Painful Goodbye
Nobody knows her past, maybe when the first sentient soul crossed the Styx[1], she had been wielding her chains there.
— Ink Soul
Unforgettable regrets and unfairness unable to be righted will all be pacified on the road.
— Uneven Evened
Love, hatred, and obsession are all foolish. Clusters of ghost fire born from the useless emotions cry to her.
— Fool's Fire
Lotus is the symbol of rest in peace. Sometimes the Nether Angel would pray to lotuses but nobody knows why.
— Black Lotus
The black chains can catch formless souls. They are the chilly wind in the dark night that stirs the chains.
— Soul's Chain
Ghost Angel thinks the world of souls should be deadly silent, so she hates the bustling Ghost City.
— Corona of Dominance
The Nether Lord once gave her an ebony flower. That's the last time she saw her. The flower would glow in dark night.
— Ebony Flower
In the memory washed away by Nether water, there is a quiet and peaceful dream, but only the silent night is left.
— Inverted Dream
There is an eye of Nether Angel on the terrace for ghosts to see their home. Is there anything she cannot let go?
— Direction of Home
As the water of Styx elapses and equinox flowers[2] bloom and wither, her soul becomes hard like a cold iron.
— Cold Iron
A soul has no weight. Sorrow and joy, like dust in the wind, are whisked away by hossu[3].
— Whisk of Emotion
She has forgotten her name. Sometimes she calls herself Naraka[4], but it's just another name for hell.
— Naraka
The soul of grievance keeps looking back, nagging about the city he guarded, and then gets pushed past the boundary.
— Away from Mortal
With sins purged by the burning flame, a soul will forget its dread and sorrow and step on the new road.
— New Samsara
Ghost City has not seen a quiet day for too long. Maybe the forsaken order will return and bring new silence.
— Hell of Samsara
The chain shuts down the last bit of resentment. The white robe flutters by itself. The Nether Angel finally smiles.
— Lock of Troubles
Interpretation[]
This suit might be an interpretation of the Heibai Wuchang (黑白无常), the Black and White Impermanence —deities from Chinese folk religion. It most likely represents the Black Impermanence[5], as the head ornament has the words 天下太平, roughly "Peace to the World" in English, which are associated with the Black Impermanence. The White Impermanence is represented by the suit Nether Lotus Lantern.

Footnotes[]
[1] The River of Styx forms the boundary between Earth and the Underworld. The rivers Acheron, Cocytus, Lethe, Phlegethon, and Styx all converge at the center of the underworld on a great marsh, which sometimes is also called the Styx.
[2] Equinox flower is an alternative name for Lycoris radiata, also known as Higanbana in Japanese. The flower is associated with death and some legends have it that when you see someone that you may never meet again, these flowers would bloom along the path.
[3] A hossu is a short staff of wood or bamboo with bundled hair (of a cow, horse, or yak) or hemp wielded by a Zen Buddhist priest. Often described as a "fly whisk" or "fly shooer", the stick is believed to protect the wielder from desire and also works as a way of ridding areas of flies without killing them.
[4] Naraka is the realm of hell in Indian religions. According to some schools of Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism and Buddhism, Naraka is a place of torment. The "hellish beings" that are said to reside in this underworld are often referred to as Narakas.
[5] Black Impermanence is part of Heibai Wuchang, "Black and White Impermanence", which are two deities in Chinese folk religion in charge of escorting the spirits of the dead to the Underworld. They are the subordinates of Yama, the ruler of the Underworld. In some instances, the Heibai Wuchang are represented as a single being —instead of two separate beings— known as the Wuchang Gui, literally "Ghost of Impermanence". Depending on the person it encounters, the Wuchang Gui can appear as either a fortune deity who rewards the person for doing good deeds or a malevolent deity who punishes the person for committing evil.
