A Kickstarter game from late 2014 which styles itself as a You Are The Evil Sauron-esque takeover where you must conquer the world through a mixture of cultural corruption, political infiltration, espionage, military conquest, sorcery and rituals including but not limited to Necromancy Blood Magic Geomancy Sorcery and others.
The Big Bads themselves, many of them Old Ones, foreign invaders who claimed the world for their own in millennia's past and were sealed away to sleep away the ages, yet the seal is weakening and now they wake once more.
Azlan the Dreaming God, He Who Lurks, the Disembodied Titan, the Twilight Confessor, the Usurper of Dreams, the King in Gold, the Severed Tendril► Show Spoiler

Dream Host - Azlan's body was torn asunder in the ancient past, but his spirit ascended to the world of dreams. He wields the power of this surreal existence to alter reality itself, and as he grows stronger he will eventually bridge the gap between the two remaking the world in his twisted image.
The Night Whispers - In the night man drifts into the world that Azlan calls home, and as prisoners they listen to his ravings. The most defining ability of Azlan comes from this tree, allowing him to tag a certain number of Heroes, Leaders, or other AI entities and over time adjust their personality. Drive the Pious High Theocrat to abhorrent behavior, or make the brave King of the Cylarians a coward.
An Old One who's body was slain in a time long forgotten, who's spirit ascended into the dreamland's in the dream of the city of gold where he now resides.

Annihilation - Limos is the beginning and end of all things and in his hands the apocalypse will come in the forms that mankind dreads. The dead will be his tools but it will be increasingly difficult to rely on the living to serve his ultimate end.
The King Below - Creator and destroyer, all that is was once of Limos. In the heart of every sentient being a resonance calls for their father, and Limos can make use of this - at first only if heroes adventure into the depths of the Underworld but later no creature will be safe.
The Creator turned Monster, betrayed by his own creations his imprisonment and constant draining of his strength in thousands of millennia have driven the once proud Creator of all mad. In the underworld he resides, the ancient chains and hooks keeping his flesh bound to his obsidian prison now weaken, Limos howls and screams at the abomination that is life. Tortured, he has been kept at bay by the Ancients and before them the Primal Powers, but now his time has come and he can bring an end to the motion and sound that engulfs his every moment of awareness.

Will over Fate - Belial sees deep into the pools of time, at first you will be limited to simply perceiving events before they occur but as you waken you will be able to take control of fate and bend it to your will. Force an earthquake to strike the walls of a besieged city, or turn a stray arrow to a King's throat
Dwelling in Darkness - Belial finds his ways into the darkness of all creatures, twisting them to his will. While you stir only carrion feeders and other beasts heed this call, but how far is man from beast in the end? Ravens will be your eyes in the far corners of the world, and in time the cowardly will fall to your will.
Belial the Deceiver is a coward, a lurking evil that festers in jealousy, greed, and the desires that turn man against his fellows - but their is strength in small things and power to be found in whispered secrets.

Parasite - Moloch's corpse festers deep within the earth and in his slumber his tendrils have spread. As he stirs Moloch may give birth to fetid pools that serve as a conduit to the world's past. In time even his tendrils may emerge, laying waste to the earth.
The Savage Allure - Moloch threads himself not just through the physical matter of the world but its essence through time. Drawing on that connection he can restore the world to its proper state, a jungle of savage beasts and simple creatures to sing his praise.
Moloch found this world just to his taste, warm and wet - populated by primitive creatures that had no notion of the divine. He set his deep in the moist earth, penetrating the generations of raw mass and primal living essence. There he fed on the cycle of life.

War Without End - Karth is the last surviving Primal - time tempered and made anachronisms of his peers but in every orc battlecry, in every scream of the slaughtered, therein lies praise to Karth.
Ability
Call of the Horde - The heirs to Karth's legacy lay scattered through the land and their time has come. While you stir you will be able to call goblins and orcs to your side, but when you rise even greater allies will flock to you.
The Primal God of War, Karth saw the rest of the Primal Entities fall as the Old Ones claimed the world for their own, but war is an eternal truth beyond even the designs of the Ancients. Struck down by the elves, from his blood the children of rage emerged and their fires would engulf the world. Karth wakes quickly and is a powerful figure on the map - it can be hard to maintain a low profile with such an occurrence but Karth isn't one to pursue a subtle agenda.

Of Mortal Birth - Born of man but ascended to the ranks of the Ancients, Sisyphus strives to erase all trace of his mortal past. That past still defines him, in his life and even more so in his death. He will seek to define himself through the Chosen One and attain humanity's final victory.
The Price of Victory - The quest for peace lead Sisyphus to Godhood and the world bled for his dream. Those who serve him will sacrifice as well and lend strength to his divine designs. Your imbues are far stronger than the other Ancients but they come at a cost, useful for pursuing very particular strategies.
In the darkness he stumbled, without support he fell, ours is the failing but on his shoulders judgement fell.
Power drew Sisyphus on a noble path, a hero destined to save the world - but like so many before him he found in his own uncompromising ideals a nightmare of benevolence, a world frozen in imperfection. Sisyphus is tormented by his failings but will try, eternally, to create the perfect world of his dreams - he will look to The Chosen One to uncover the flaw in his character.
. broken merchant twisted into a servant of the dark.
Despair brought not death but something much worse
Little remains of the will behind this poor creature, what little the word didn't grind into dust was drowned in spirits. A weak mind awaiting a master
A SOFT MIND, EASILY CLAIMED.
The Rake. disgraced noblemen turned debauched mass murderer and fleshweaver.
Each form a canvas such pleasure to be had
The Rake found religion in the dripping flesh and twisted form. His was the true path of the dark, in each step he sang of a new sin.
THIS ONE WILL SERVE WILLINGLY
The Outcast. one who delved too deep into knowledge best left forgotten.
They told her she was different so she sought her kind
Curiosity tore her from her home and left in her little be recognized by those who called her kin. Her home is now to be found in dark places amongst those who whisper softly in ancient tongues.
A DARKNESS ALL TOO FAMILIAR
