Drowned

"Vacuous is the idea of man. Irreversible are its actions. The core of the black that shreds the light. Blackened and pitch and riddled with hate. Torn is the madman of the vile time. Hungering is the tower man. The outsider desires sleep. A guard dog has a man become. Innocence corrupt. Rule shattered. But the eye shall grasp the egg. All that is left to hold shall become insignificant in the vast void of the eye. Bless is the world. But the harlot must die."

- One of Drowned's repeated chanting The Black Water Monster, Drowned (黒水化け物ドローネッド, Kuromizu Bakemono Dorōneddo) is a Demon, one of the two "Gods" of Dianoir, the other being Calypso. Drowned is the result of the infected water supplies becoming sentient, the Black Blood reacting to the heavy concentration of magic and emotions surrounding it, giving it "life". It is the main source of the entire infected water supply, and occasionally "creates" its own demonic minions who wander the streets aimlessly.

Unlike Calypso, Drowned is viewed by the populace of Dianoir as an "evil God" for obvious reasons, hated by all for being the very cause of Dianoir's ruin. However, compared to Calypso, Drowned is much less aggressive, remaining in a drowned city where it now resides, only fighting when it is attacked. Interestingly, Drowned seemed to be "omniscient" on anything that happens in Dianoir as long as black water is present there, effectively making Drowned in just about every corner of Dianoir.

Trivia

 * Drowned has no relation to an individual named Ben, but a Ben may have drowned in the black waters.
