The Scribe of Stygian Legacy
Concept: Obstructive Bureaucrat
Moonshadow Caste

Forseti Mohar was one of the functionaries keeping a Realm vassal state on the Northern coast of the Inland Sea going. A task proving more and more difficult as the Realm shattering itself, turning his once faith in the Immaculate Philosophy into apostasy.

Death came to him in a fashion unusual to others whom became deathknights. Not by plague, or violence, no, it was overwork - dealing with the consequences when a Dragonblooded's abuse of a popular town mayor's daughter turned into a full revolt within the critical agricultural region.

Anima Effects:
• For 10m 1wp, the Moonshadow sanctifies an oath. Oath-breakers are inflicted with a terrible curse, often embodied in deathly and eerie ways. Phantasmal tormentors might haunt them, their own reflection or shadow might unnaturally move or whisper to terrify them, etc. This lasts for a year and a day.
• The Moonshadow has diplomatic immunity when treating with the undead, spirits, demons, and Fair Folk; so long as the Moonshadow approaches on legitimate business, these creatures must observe local rules of hospitality. Such beings may still try to provoke others of the Moonshadow's group into breaking the peace, thus voiding the protection.
• The Moonshadow may learn the Charms of spirits which have the Eclipse keyword for eight XP each.

Limit Trigger:

Mote pools replenish themselves over time. Characters with mote pools regain five motes of Essence at the end of each round while in combat, as the dynamism of battle stirs the world around them. Outside of battle, characters regain five motes per hour. In the most relaxed of times—such as when a character is asleep, meditating, or quietly reading—they respire Essence at a rate of 10 motes per hour. Motes in the peripheral pool are replenished before motes in the personal pool.

Vixthrall Bonestrider: Cradle of the Ill-gotten the Ever Growing Mountain of Flesh

By paying four extra motes at attunement with Vixthrall, the Abyssal becomes bound with Soul of Vixthrall herself. All non combat Physical checks, while attuned to Vixthrall are made with one non Charm automatic Success.

The Ever Growing Mountain of Flesh, steals the strength of it’s enemies by rending the muscle and sinew from bones and insulting Mara by giving the flesh unlife. For each Battle Group or Exalted that suffered damage from Vixthrall and is destroyed within ten meters, a Mote of Flesh is added to Vixthrall. Each Mote adds one non charm dice to non combat physical checks.

Evocations
Tapping into the Ever Growing Mountain of Flesh.

Cost: 1m,2i; Mins: Essence 1
Type: Reflexive
Duration: One round
Prerequisites: Has one or more Flesh Motes

With this the Abyssal may use the Ever Growing Mountain of Flesh in a self destructive attack to gain the upper hand or in a decisive attack. For each Mote of Flesh on Vixthrall an automatic success is gained on an attack, and one Flesh Mote is broken off as Vixthrall pushes past the threshold of what normal muscle can do. Might as well, it’s not your flesh after all.

Dissolution
Full Name: Black-Souled Alchemist Bearing Dissolution Unfettered and Beautiful
Concept: Plaguebearer
Caste: Daybreak
Anima: A nauseating, swirling mass of black and violet that seems to ooze and drip as it writhes
Dire Ability: Medicine
Limit Trigger: Being denied the opportunity to research or a rare or novel form of disease
Essence: 1
Willpower: 7
Health Levels: -0/-1/-1/-1/-1/-2/-2/-2/-2/-4/Incapacitated
When she was alive, Dissolution treated the abandoned poor of Nexus. She braved the toxic snow with little more than an oilcloth coat and a mask stuffed with fragrant poultices. Her skill at healing the sick was a thing of legend in the slums, and her services were in high demand. Dissolution risked her life treating victims of debilitating disease. In the end, it was her kindness that killed her.

And now her kindness will kill the world. Do not fear her oncoming plague. Suffering is temporary, the bliss of death is eternal.

Skofnung (Soulsteel Daiklave, Artifact ●●●●)
An ancient sword forged from the souls of the twelve greatest kings of the North. It calls out to fallen warriors, compelling them to once more raise their swords in battle.

Current Souls: 60 (Size 2)

Accuracy: +4*
Damage: +13*
Defense: +2*
Overwhelming: 5
Attunement: 5
Tags: Lethal, Melee, Balanced
Hearthstone slots: 3

Skofnung can house the souls of the fallen. Those who have been called to serve by previous wielders describe the world inside as a vast battlefield surrounding a single great hall of black stone. They would fight from grim morning until a darkness as complete as Oblivion fell, and then feast in the torch-lit hall until morning when the fallen would once more pick up their weapons and join a battle without purpose.

When Skofnung contains souls, it gains the following bonuses to its traits depending on the number
1-6: +1 Accuracy
7-36: +1 Damage
37-144: +1 Defense
145-1200: +1 Accuracy
1200+: +1 Damage

Calling Home the Fallen
Cost: 5m; Mins: Essence 1
Type: Simple
Keywords: Psyche
Duration: Instant
Prerequisites: None

Solemnly placing the sword point first into the soil bloodied by war, the wielder calls to those fallen in battle all around them and compels them to find a new home within Skofnung. Roll (Charisma or Manipulation + Presence) to influence the ghosts of all those fallen in battle no longer three days and three nights before, and who are close enough to be affected. All those whose Resolve is low enough to be influenced are automatically compelled, unless they have an Intimacy they could use to resist the call, in which case they may spend a point of Willpower to resist the call of Skofnung. The range of this power depends on the wielder's Essence rating in the following manner:
Essence 1: Close range
Essence 2: Short range
Essence 3: Long range
Essence 4+: Extreme range

If the wielder is Resonant with Skofnung, their Essence counts as one higher than it is for the purpose of determining range, and only a Major or Defining Intimacy can protect a ghost from being called.

Unleashed from Beyond
Cost: 5m, (1lhl); Mins: Essence 1
Type: Simple
Keywords: None
Duration: One Scene
Prerequisites: Calling Home the Fallen

Raising the sword high, the wielder summons the fallen to fight once more. This brings forth a Battle Group of the fallen from within Skofnung. This Battle Group has size (Essence/2 rounded up + 1), though it cannot be larger than the total of all souls contained within Skofnung. They arrive armed and ready to fight, but are Immaterial unless the wielder has spent the extra activation cost of (1 lhl), Materializing them through their own blood. Any ghosts slain while called into the world like this return unharmed to the blade once the Charm has run its course, or once they fall in battle. Note: It is not possible to create a battle group larger than the wielder's Essence would allow by activating the Charm multiple times.

The Battle Group's traits are determined by the average member, it further has Perfect Morale and Might 1.

If the wielder is resonant with Skofnung, the Battle Group is of size (Essence/2 rounded up + 2), though still limited by the number of souls contained within the blade.

Wisdom of the Gravebound
Cost: 5m, (or less); Mins: Essence 2
Type: Simple
Keywords: None
Duration: Indefinite
Prerequisites: Unleashed from Beyond

Holding the sword close to their heart, the wielder calls forth an individual contained within the blade to serve them in a wider capacity than simply as part of an army. Those called forth come fully realized with all the memories and knowledge of their former life, as well as their Intimacies, though they have acquired an additional Defining Intimacy of loyalty (or a similiar emotion) towards the wielder. While the Charm is active, it may be activated once more to call forth another ghost to serve. The cost to activate the Charm goes down by 1m for each ghost already manifested in this manner. No more than (Essence + 1) ghosts can be manifested at once. If the ghosts are involved in combat, they will form a single battle group that supports the wielder.

If the wielder is resonant with Skofnung, the number of ghosts than can be simoultaneously manifested is doubled.

Relics of the Dead
Cost: -; Mins: Essence 3
Type: Permanent
Keywords: None
Duration: Permanent
Prerequisites: Unleashed from Beyond

When the dead come forth, they do so with the finest gear taken from all the battlefields of Creation. Every time the wielder calls forth the ghosts bound within Skofnung, they may decide how the ghosts are armed and armoured (or even dressed with Wisdom of the Gravebound). Furthermore, when called forth with Unleashed from Beyond, the Battle Group formed has Might 2 rather than 1. Similarly, when called forth with Wisdom of the Gravebound, the ghosts may have simple Thaumaturgical items to aid them.

If the wielder is resonant with Skofnung, the ghosts become valid targets for Training Charms such as Tiger Warrior Training Technique or Flowing Mind Prana.

Irresistible Call of Oblivion
Cost: 10m; Mins: Essence 4
Type: Simple
Keywords: Psyche
Duration: Instant
Prerequisites: Wisdom of the Gravebound

By placing the pommel of the sword on the forehead of one recently dead, the wielder may force them into service. Activating this Evocation requires a (Charisma or Manipulation + Presence) roll, and if it beats the ghost's Resolve, it can only be resisted by a Defining Intimacy. If the victim died as a direct consequence of the wielder's actions (was poisoned by them, murdered by assassins sent by them, etc.), no roll is necessary and no Intimacies can protect them. However, the ghost retains all intimacies it had in life, so the wielder of Skofnung should take care when calling forth the ghosts of those who hate them.

What the Void Spews Forth
Cost: 10m (1ahl/scene); Mins: Essence 5
Type: Simple
Keywords: None
Duration: One scene
Prerequisites: Relics of the Dead, Irresistible Call of Oblivion

Raising the blade above their head, the wielder calls calls upon the Void itself to empower the ghosts under their command, and the Void answers. In return for the souls of the slain, Skofnung's ghosts come clad in the raiments of Death itself, and fight with the strength of the Void. When called forth with this Evocation, there is no size limit to the Battle Group summoned, every single soul is called from within Skofnung. They arrived armed and armoured in Soulsteel, granting them a Might rating of 3, and each ghost counts as two for the purposes of determining the Size of the Battle Group. However, once the Charm has run its course, every single ghost as well as the souls of all mortals slain by this army of the dead is doomed to Oblivion. Skofnung is empty once more, and the forbidding castle in its core falls silent.

If the wielder is resonant with Skofnung, they may prolong its Duration by spending paying 1 Aggravated Health Level per additional scene. This damage may not be healed while the Charm is active.

Thought and Memory (Familiar ●●●)
These two ravens were once the twin sons of Hran-Tzu, God of Decay, but they were caught and killed by The Keeper of Truths Most Forbidden, who granted their reanimated corpses and trapped spirits to her young Deathknight. They fly all around the North, gathering information and passing it on to Sage. What one knows, the other knows as well, so if urgency is more important than volume, she will send out one of them and keep the other to make sure she remains informed. They fly equally well in Creation and the Underwold, and if Immaterial, they may pass through the barrier between the worlds even when there is no Shadowland.
