Legends speak of the greater demon lords that weave the fated threads of our world. The existence of these creature is shrouded in myths and fables passed down through generations. Whether or not they serve a benevolent or malevolent purpose is unknown to the mortal souls of our realm. Still, their ethereal presence creeps into our world and may steer our fates to some unseen destination. They are the council that spins the threads of destiny. They are the Araknyos Weavers.

It's said that certain factions of blacksmiths bring offerings or sacrifices to altars built in the name of the Immolation Gaze Weaver, Trigara. This creature is rumored to appear as a great spider wreathed in flames with sharp blade-like legs. If Trigara is pleased with its offerings, legends claim it offers untold rewards and rare materials to be used in smithing. Indeed, some of the most feared weapons were said to have been crafted with the blessing of the Immolation Gaze demon. Despite its apparent ability to bestow rewards upon those that worship it, many theorize that if one were to anger Trigara, it's furious storms of fire could cause untold devastation.

Trigara is one of the earlier designs in the Araknyos Weavers' series. I tried to give its fire element a prominent theme with the wispy flares on its legs and body. The "eyes" on its main body are meant to look like glowing embers. Unlike some of the more complex later designs, Trigara maintains a more compact circular shape. The main joints on its legs along with the patterning almost makes it look like concentric circle patterns.
