Their feathers represent a freedom that no wyrm can have in Heaven. Coatl--feathered serpents that birth suns--laugh at their dark mirrors and spiral throughout the cosmos as dragons suffer and mutate. Because of this, feathers are to Tiamat's children as torches are to shadow.<br /> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Image result for aztec headdress" height="400" src="https://ih1.redbubble.net/image.302363200.8548/flat,750x1000,075,t.u2.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="300" /></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr> </tbody></table> <h2> HOLY FEATHERWORKS</h2> <div> Featherworks are constructed primarily from Resplendent Quetzal feathers, though a selection of birds are also chosen from. Roll 1d6 on the <b>Featherwork Object </b>table below to see what kind of object the featherwork is. </div> <div> <br /></div> <div> <b>Featherwork Object</b></div> <div> <ol> <li>Headdress</li> <li>Face, ear, or throat jewelry</li> <li>Sash</li> <li>Cloak</li> <li>Arm or leg decorations</li> <li>Sewn into skin</li> </ol> <div> <br /></div> </div> <div> For each featherwork, roll 1d6. This determines how many points of Draconic Radiance the featherwork can handle. When wearing your featherworks, any Radiance you would suffer instead is transferred into it. Once the object has been overloaded, it burns green and turns to ash, releasing the Radiance back into the atmosphere.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> Expeditions are given 4d20 featherworks to distribute amongst themselves. They are difficult to create and more valuable than gold or obsidian and thus given out only sparingly. An expedition that loses its featherworks is doomed to total destruction. If someone dies while hunting in the Heaven Burned, they are to be buried with at least 1 unused featherwork, to prevent the soul from becoming irradiated. All others are taken and distributed amongst the party.</div> <div> <br /></div> <h3> PLUMED WEAPONS</h3> <div> Expeditioner weapons plumed--that is, decorated with feathers--are the greatest survival tools Gatherers have at their disposals.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> Every expeditioner is given a single plumed weapon. For each weapon, roll 1d6. This represents how big the pool of d6 the plumed weapon has.

These cabals are loose; they don't often gather, and to join one is to swear only to aid one another when desperation comes knocking.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> The purpose of these cabals is to form a society in the Heaven Burned. "Dragons will never leave," reckon the Mystics. Likewise, the Heaven Bless'd is no home for those who have given in to the power of Radiance. These cabals, built inside the many different environs of the Heaven Burned, will be the spots civilization blossoms from in this new era. </div> <div> <br /></div> <div> Discovering a cabal is never a boon or bane. The mystics will defend themselves and they will help those they stumble upon when obsidian is sheathed. Secretly, the Gatherer's Lodge has mapped out where many of these cabals are so that they can make use of them for supplies and shelters. While the propaganda machine inside the Heaven Bless'd paints them as dragon-cursed monsters, Heaven Burned veterans know them as a splintered, strange people, neither to be befriended or made enemies of--just used.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> There are three well-known cabals taught to expeditioners during their final lessons. These cabals are large, carrying more than a hundred mystics each, and have established their own power-niches across the Heaven Burned. </div> <div> <br /></div> <div> Each cabal is led by a guru, who is treated as the creator of the cabal or its current most capable leader.</div> <div> <br /></div> <h4> VIVID CHILDREN</h4> <div> <b>LEADER: </b>Sees Stars in Empty Skies (Empty for short). An old guru, forever meditating underneath the boughs of a petrified tree. Has mysticism 9. Eats little, drinks less, speaks almost none unless Radiance is out of control.</div> <div> <b><br /></b></div> <div> <b>AESTHETIC: </b>Vivid Children wear no cloth clothing, and instead wear gems, glass, and metal, all which hangs from their limbs, over their sex, and from their noses and hair. </div> <div> <b><br /></b></div> <div> <b>DETAILS: </b>The Vivid Children name themselves so because of their herding of Irradiated Souls. Making their home in a strikingly large Murdered Forest, the Children use their abilities to bring in the Irradiated and to give them what the Freedom From Flesh. Through strange rituals invoking the name of the Half-Sun and of Tiamat, they have learned how to give the Irradiated the gift of reincarnation. This process fills the sky above the Murdered Forest with iridescent stars of fading radiance--a vivid sky that births vivid children.</div> <div> <b><br /></b></div> <div> <b>RELATIONSHIPS: </b>Vivid Children assist Gatherers and Dragon Wives both. If an expedition proves to be too violent, or if some other Burned power comes sweeping through, the radiant stars can be called down through ritual, overdosing anything that enters the forest and providing a swift, painful, mutated death. Because of this, the <i>Cuanatoil</i> and the <i>Opal Heart</i> cabals avoid open conflict with the Children. Expeditions are taught to avoid them unless Radiance becomes a rampant problem.</div> <div> <b><br /></b></div> <div> <b>WHAT THEY WANT:</b></div> <div> <ul> <li>To reincarnate Irradiated Souls.</li> <li>To control Radiance levels in the Heaven Burned.</li> <li>To create a society where Radiance elevates, not burns, it.</li> </ul> <div> <b>WHAT THEY DON'T WANT:</b></div> </div> <div> <ul> <li>For more Tzitzimitl to appear.</li> <li>For Radiance to destroy more lives than it already has.</li> <li>For the other two cabals to interfere with their Radiance studies.</li> </ul> <div> <b>SAMPLE NPCS:</b></div> </div> <div> <ul> <li>Eats Left Handed is a young girl with mysticism 6. She is the liaison between the guru and the expedition.</li> <li>Glistens Gold is an adult man with mysticism 2. He is the premiere Irradiated Soul hunter of the cabal.</li> <li>Nauiah is a genderless child around age 9. Like the guru, they have mysticism 9, and thus are believed to one day become the next guru. The adult cabal members protects and cherishes this child more than any other.</li> </ul> <div> <b>WHAT THEY MAY ASK THE PARTY FOR:</b></div> <div> <ul> <li>Assistance in finding Irradiated Souls to the east for Freeing their Flesh.</li> <li>Assistance in destroying Tzitzimitl spotted to the north.</li> <li>Investigating what happened to a lone Mystic who has disappeared after venturing West, close to Cuanatoil territory.</li> </ul> </div> <h4> THE CUANATOIL</h4> </div> <div> <div> <b>LEADER: </b>Xertlan. As a guru, he is known for his warlike methods. Has mysticism 3 and uses it to convince his people that he is omnipotent, and that dead gods have bequeathed on him Divine Authority.</div> <div> <b><br /></b></div> <div> <b>AESTHETIC: </b>Direwolf and hyena tanned leathers worn as skirts. Bones for gauntlets, shoes, weapons. Feathers to protect themselves from radiation, looted from Gatherers that they hunt and kill or trade with Dragon Wives for. Painted hieroglyphs and images on body with blue paint made from Bless'd Blood Worms.</div> <div> <b><br /></b></div> <div> <b>DETAILS: </b>Cuanatoil is the name the cabal's first guru. They are warlike, and wish to steal back the knowledge of man first stolen by hyenas. They hunt great cackles and use their brains in strange rituals, mixing it with Bless'd Blood Worms to create their enlightening body paint. All Cuanatoil believe that knowledge can be worn. They are not wrong. Direwolves hate them for taking their food source, and Cuanatoil in turn treat direwolves as their main diet. Wearing hyena-worm-brain paint increases one's intelligence to 20 and increases 1 skill to a 6-in-6 chance of success for 24 hours.</div> <div> <b><br /></b></div> <div> <b>RELATIONSHIPS: </b>Gatherers have valuables that aid the Cuanatoil on their hunts, and thus are killed and their goods taken by force. They fear Dragon Wives for they have seen their rages and will aid them when called upon. All Cuanatoil worship Ereshteteo and follow her from place to place. To sacrifice one's self to the Goddess of Annihilation is to be granted the forbidden knowledge that can only be understood by the obliterated. </div> <div> <b><br /></b></div> <div> <b>WHAT THEY WANT:</b></div> <div> <ul> <li>To gain all lost knowledge.</li> <li>To achieve enlightenment and to free themselves from the cycle of reincarnation through violence.</li> <li>To earn the love of Ereshteteo.</li> </ul> <div> <b>WHAT THEY DON'T WANT:</b></div> </div> <div> <ul> <li>For knowledge to disappear for good.</li> <li>For Gatherers to steal knowledge before they can take it.</li> <li>For them to die and be reincarnated before they attain tree renunciation.</li> </ul> <div> <b>SAMPLE NPCS:</b></div> </div> <div> <ul> <li>Gluttony the Seer is a withered man who consumes the eyes of the Bless'd. He has mysticism 7, and through their eyes he helps inform the hunts where they must go.</li> <li>Xoco is a middle-aged woman with mysticism 20. She believes herself to be a Goddess of Knowledge and her primary symbol is the Bless'd Blood Worm. She guides the current guru.</li> <li>Manazashah stalks after expeditions and sleeps when they are setting up camp. He has mysticism 14, and through his dreams he learns their secrets.</li> </ul> <div> <b>WHAT THEY MAY ASK THE PARTY FOR:</b></div> <div> <ul> <li>To serve as bait to draw out a Fang War.</li> <li>Assistance in finding the painted, flayed skin of one of their missing mystics.</li> <li>To tell them everything they know about Ereshteteo's latest movements.</li> </ul> </div> <h4> THE OPAL HEARTS OF LAMENTING DJINN</h4> </div> </div> <div> <div> <b>LEADER: </b>Eleuiah, Smoker of Wishes. She has a harem of efreeti and old opal kings and old opal wraiths. She has mysticism 19, and thus is the natural enemy of all wing'd creatures. </div> <div> <b><br /></b></div> <div> <b>AESTHETIC: </b>Long strips of cloth dyed yellow and black and embroidered like tapestries wrap around their bodies, their limbs, their mouths, and their heads in great turbans. Forever are they chewing hashish leaves traded with gatherers. Their skin is either the color of milk or the color of a starless night--both a result of their union with efreeti.</div> <div> <b><br /></b></div> <div> <b>DETAILS: </b>The Opal Hearts of Lamenting Djinn (Opal Hearts for short) are mystics who have freed efreeti from their servitude to old opal kings, and likewise serve the old opal kings as councilors and seers. They attend ghosts and wraiths and organize the pilgrimages from their home Pyre City to other parts of the Heaven Burned. They can speak with the dead and reawaken the memories of past lives in the reincarnated or reborn. All Opal Hearts spend hours staring into smoke stacks so that they can see the many pasts of the Heaven Burned.</div> <div> <b><br /></b></div> <div> <b>RELATIONSHIPS: </b>Pyre Cities are not to be invaded by any souls, and expeditions are thus their natural enemies. Dragon Wives bring expeditions with them and thus are to be rebuffed or killed. They will trade peacefully, exchanging cultural artefacts in their Pyre City home in exchange for hashish, so long as those they trade with swear to avoid any Pyre City they find. Old Dragonslayer fraternities are given refuge in exchange for them protecting pilgrimages. Efreeti are their lovers. Their children, called djinn, are believed to be scions of great mystical power.</div> <div> <b><br /></b></div> <div> <b>WHAT THEY WANT:</b></div> <div> <ul> <li>To usher in a new world order of djinn mysticism.</li> <li>To see all opal wraiths and kings laid to rest.</li> <li>To learn from the mistakes of the dead so that they are not ever repeated.</li> </ul> <div> <b>WHAT THEY DON'T WANT:</b></div> </div> <div> <ul> <li>For others to take secrets they have yet unearthed.</li> <li>For efreeti to remain enslaved to the folly of old opal kings.</li> <li>For the dead to keep hoarding the tools needed to create the future.</li> </ul> <div> <b>SAMPLE NPCS:</b></div> </div> <div> <ul> <li>Sharizad, who keeps a consort of Old Opal Princesses and Princes. She has mysticism 18, and uses her power to open up the way to pyre tombs and forgotten ruins.</li> <li>That Which Grieves is forever set aflame. They have mysticism 15 and use it to recover from their traumas. The immolations they go through soothe the rages of the old opal wraiths and efreeti.</li> <li>Lonely Pershatl, an old man who is in love with the dead, and who will kill others so that they can join his harem. Has mysticism 11.</li> </ul> <div> <b>WHAT THEY MAY ASK THE PARTY TO DO:</b></div> </div> </div> <div> <ul> <li>Assist them in protecting a pilgrimage to a distant Pyre City.</li> <li>Assist them in calming the riotous souls of an Old Opal King.</li> <li>Assist them in driving out a dragon from a Pyre City.</li> </ul> <div> <br /></div> </div> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Image result for fantasy seers" height="640" src="https://pre00.deviantart.net/9774/th/pre/i/2015/084/d/2/camilla__seer_of_the_forgotten_ones_by_jeujeubee-d8n29n2.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="480" /></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://jeujeubee.deviantart.com/art/Camilla-Seer-of-the-Forgotten-Ones-522466382">JeuJeuBee</a></td></tr> </tbody></table> <h2> CREATING YOUR OWN CABAL</h2> <div> Roll on the following tables and connect the dots for creating your own cabal of Radiant Mystics.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> <b>NAME</b></div> <div> <ol> <li>Those Whose Eyes Bleed Lies</li> <li>Seers of Haunted Moons</li> <li>The Coatlkander</li> <li>Order of the Quiets</li> <li>Choirs That Sing Memories</li> <li>Wanderers of Mictkalla</li> </ol> <div> <b>ENVIRON WHERE THEIR CABAL'S BASE IS</b></div> </div> <div> <ol> <li>The Abyss</li> <li>The Ashpits</li> <li>Blood Bogs</li> <li>A Murdered Forest</li> <li>A Pyre City</li> <li>The Shattered Crowns</li> </ol> <div> <b>IDENTIFYING AESTHETIC</b></div> </div> <div> <ol> <li>Ritual scarification forming intricate patterns across the skin.</li> <li>Strange masks forged from opal and soot.</li> <li>Lower jaw and five random fingers are replaced with irradiated clay.</li> <li>Eyes, mouth, ears, and nose all stitched shut.</li> <li>Right arm held up and kept there until it atrophies and freezes in place.</li> <li>Bundled head to toe in strange skins to hide their identities.</li> </ol> <div> <b>CURRENT GURU</b></div> </div> <div> <ol> <li>Someone possessed by a legion of Old Opal Wraiths.</li> <li>The caretaker of a dying Burned Widow.</li> <li>A great hunter who has eaten the hearts of one of every type of creature.</li> <li>An old sage who has survived since the hatching of dragons.</li> <li>A dead god whose symbols bleed orders into the thoughts of the cabal.</li> <li>Four children who share the same mind and identity.</li> </ol> <div> <b>CULTURAL BELIEF</b></div> </div> <div> <ol> <li>The Heaven Burned needs Bless'd blood to restore it self.

At any time there are 60+1d20 god tenders sleeping on litteral pyres. The flames are golden and do not burn, but instead lull one into a sleep where they can lucidly dream at will. Some god-tenders are talking, others kissing, others making featherwork. No privacy anywhere to be had. Somewhere, someone is throat singing. A stone hallway leads eastwards [6].</span></div> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b> <ol start="4" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Throne Baths of the High-King.</span></div> </li> </ol> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Northern hallway takes one to the audience chambers. Massive, with marble galleries on the sides for Midnight Plumed and god tenders to watch. Thirteen pools, each 30 feet in diameter, cover the ground. At the back is one bigger than the rest, with a throne built into part of it. Here, the kings listen, decree, and bathe. Bathing in any pool heals all missing hit points and makes one weep blood into the water. If bathing without permission, be cursed, and reduced to 1 hit point until service has been performed in gods’ name. Four hallways stand in the back of this chamber [8, 9, 10, 11]. 1-in-6 chance of audience currently being held.</span></div> <b style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b> <ol start="5" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <li dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; list-style-type: decimal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Symbol Graves, Untended & Unworn</span></div> </li> </ol> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Down the stairs one will find a stone antechamber, barely lit, cold, smelling of blood, urine, and sex. God tenders are only allowed to enter here when their eyes have been stitched shut, and can only crawl on hands and knees. Decorating the walls are countless Heavenly Gears. See Appendix A for a listing of them, and tables to create your own. Touching a Heavenly Gear requires a save vs magic or be possessed by the god’s dying moments.

Smells of wet meat and flayed skin. Weeping comes from different chambers. Inside, god tenders lean over bowls and penetrate themselves with needles and slice their genitals to create god-wine. Drink the fresh blood and reset your miracle die as if it had never been used.

Each room has a 6-in-6 chance of holding a gate piece, requiring a thorough search to find, going down by 1 for each piece found. Arrange all six pieces in the Throne Baths of the High-King [4] to create the gate.

Within each room lies a Handless Priest, mutilated, filling their quarter with the stentch of death. God tenders come in, torture, and ruin these oracle liches to extract futures like venom from a snakebite. Inflict 20 points of damage onto a Handless Priest and roll on the Prophecy table.

Featherworks decorate walls and shrines (100sp). Underneath a sky window and situated in a beam of bright light are four clay tablets that stand as tall as men. Each is emblazoned with another god.

He hangs from the far back wall. From the reeds sprout four flowers and from each flower blossoms a tiger’s head and each head holds a different limb. The Radiant Saint hangs from them, he who led to the High-King’s death and the High-Queen’s theft, impaled upon three glass spears through his chest (1000sp). Speaks not, the Radiant Saint, beyond a prayer to Tiamat. Gods will torture him for pleasure and god tenders do as ordered.

Feather-decorated obsidian bars slice the hands of those who touch them without the Steward-King’s summons. Inside each cell is a criminal who has gone too far to be tried by the masses. Or, they know secrets they should not, and draconic heresy has envenomed their hearts and minds. Each cell is small, fits one body, must stand and not sit. Piss and shit mix with flowers up and down the prison.

No borders, horizon burns with sun flares. Islands of giant, gilded skulls float and are covered in weapons sheathed hilt-deep(500sp). The sky is the color of a bruise. It is hot, sweltering, and the air smells of a forge. Half-Sun Sintotec walks across the surface, inspecting weapons. God tenders follow after him, their legs gilded and their bodies horribly burned. When they die they become gilded skull-islands and Sintotec sticks weapons into them as reminders. 1-in-6 chance standing on liquid sun every round to die as your body is vaporized from the heat.

Butterflies dance from branch to branch and perfume the air with jasmine and rose. The deeper one goes into the mangroves, the thicker the water becomes until it transforms totally into blood. Weeping can be heard from virtually every part of this Palace Heaven. Its source is Veiled Weeper Allalotl, sitting in a tree, weeping, her god tenders catching the blood dripping from her feet and staring into it for prophecy and blessing (5000sp).

He is crucified before you in a chamber black. The only lights come from the torches that hang from the crucified corpses of executed prisoners that surround the god. He sleeps and will not be awoken through any less than the death of the host the symbols are divinely welded too. Crucified prisoners who still draw breath sleep as well, their dreams feeding the great Blood Dream. Feathers pin their hands into stone, wood, and glass. They stretch deep into the abyss. God tenders kneel before their god and will guide anyone who appears, guided or not, into the Hanging Garden of the Blood Dream with drugs and auto-sacrifice.</span></div> <div> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://themarquisat.blogspot.com/2018/06/palace-of-high-king.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='https://themarquisat.blogspot.com/2018/06/palace-of-high-king.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2018-06-21T17:05:00-07:00'>June 21, 2018</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://themarquisat.blogspot.com/2018/06/palace-of-high-king.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5542736009709777215&postID=3673148214594274069&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5542736009709777215&postID=3673148214594274069&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475"); return false;' target='_blank' title='BlogThis!'><span class='share-button-link-text'>BlogThis!</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-twitter' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5542736009709777215&postID=3673148214594274069&target=twitter' target='_blank' title='Share to X'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to X</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-facebook' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5542736009709777215&postID=3673148214594274069&target=facebook' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=430,width=640"); return false;' target='_blank' title='Share to Facebook'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Facebook</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-pinterest' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5542736009709777215&postID=3673148214594274069&target=pinterest' target='_blank' title='Share to Pinterest'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Pinterest</span></a> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> Labels: <a href='https://themarquisat.blogspot.com/search/label/Adventure%20Site' rel='tag'>Adventure Site</a>, <a href='https://themarquisat.blogspot.com/search/label/Dragon%20Wives' rel='tag'>Dragon Wives</a>, <a href='https://themarquisat.blogspot.com/search/label/Heaven%20Bless%27d%20%26%20Burned' rel='tag'>Heaven Bless'd & Burned</a> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="date-outer"> <div class="date-posts"> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='https://i.pinimg.com/736x/ac/f9/c8/acf9c8451136f0037c76bb562e408f9d--om-art-third-eye.jpg' itemprop='image_url'/> <meta content='5542736009709777215' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='8047058638773652274' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='8047058638773652274'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://themarquisat.blogspot.com/2018/06/radiance-mysticisms-are-spirituals.html'>Radiance Mysticisms are Spirituals Mutations Developed by Overexposure to Radiation Leaking from Dragons</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-8047058638773652274' itemprop='description articleBody'> In most RPGs, radiation gives you weird mutations that sometimes double as super powers. I figured I'd go for something similar. These replace traditional magical items in the Heaven Bless'd & Burned for the most part.<br /> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Related image" src="https://i.pinimg.com/736x/ac/f9/c8/acf9c8451136f0037c76bb562e408f9d--om-art-third-eye.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" /></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The Third Eye Opens</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> In the Heaven Bless'd & Burned, when you have at least 1 point of Draconic Radiance, roll a d20 and add your total Radiance points to it. If you get higher than a 20 then you develop a Radiance Mysticism. The Radiance Mysticism will manifest within 1d4 days. Every time you gain an additional Radiance point and do not have a Radiance Mysticism, make another d20 check. You cannot have more than one of these powers at a time.<br /> <br /> If you have 0 Radiance, you cannot use your Radiance Mysticism. Likewise, if you display one of these powers inside the City of the Dragon Wives, you will be executed without trial. It is believed these are the powers of Tiamat, and thus are sickening in all ways. Wearing a piece of feathercraft from the City prevents a success to develop these abilities. All expeditioners are given a piece of feathercraft for this reason.<br /> <br /> Roll 1d20 and consult the below chart. That is the Radiance Mysticism you develop.<br /> <br /> <br /> <ol> <li>One of your arms rots away, leaving just the bones which glisten with Radiance. It addition to still being usable as a normal arm, when you touch a creature, the place where you touched is forever stained green.</li> <li>The white of one of your eyes turns Radiance Green and the iris turns gold. You can see the heart, brain, and genitals of creatures with that eye within 10 feet of you.</li> <li>When you speak, a second voice speaks with you. You can throw this voice as if a ventriloquist, and any creature that hears it believes it is someone of authority speaking to them.</li> <li>A third, draconic eye sprouts open on your forehead. You can wipe the eye from your forehead and put it on objects to see through them.</li> <li>You lose the ability to feel all sensations. You cannot fall below 1 hit point unless something or somebody specifically is murdering you.</li> <li>Your shadow takes on twisted and monstrous forms. You can order it to attach to another creature, and will always know where it is for as long as it is attached.</li> <li>Your tongue splits into a forked version of itself and you gain a hunger for fresh eyes. When you consume a creature's eye, you see everything it did within the last 24 hours.</li> <li>Your earlobes grow claws and stretch down to your shoulders. When a creature lies to you, it sounds like they are suddenly screaming.</li> <li>Your mind expands in ways that you cannot communicate. You learn how to perform a ritual that removes all traces of Radiance (save your own) from a 10x10 mile area. This ritual requires the blood of those you call friend.</li> <li>When you die, you can give your death to an allied creature or fellow party member. Their Radiation score is then added to yours and you now have 1 hit point.</li> <li>Everything you kiss, hug, or have sex with turns must save vs magic or turn into opal.</li> <li>Your palms are gilded. With a successful attack against a possessed creature, you can forcibly rip the possessing spirit out.</li> <li>A featureless, mouthless opal mask manifests over your face. You can no longer speak, but you can show creatures visions by touching them. These visions communicate a basic idea that you want to communicate.</li> <li>When you close your eyes, you instantly fall asleep and begin to dream the thoughts of any creature that can see you or hear you. You can wake at will.</li> <li>Your skin turns white and takes on the texture of a snake's shed skin. When someone or something deals damage to you, it forgets that you exist until you deal damage back to it.</li> <li>A green fog leaves your mouth with every breath. Fires go out when you breathe on them, and darkness lightens when you breathe in it.</li> <li>Your footsteps fill with acid as you walk. You can walk on water, sand, and gasses as if they were bedrock.</li> <li>Your clothing turns to dust as you put it on. If you roll a natural 20 when attacking a creature with your bare hands, you disintegrate it. </li> <li>Wingbones sprout from behind your ears. Winged creatures that see you plummet to the ground instantly.</li> <li>Choose something you are wearing or holding. It is now a divine symbol, and as long as you wear it, the gods will see you as their equal.</li> </ol> <div> <br /></div> <div> <br /></div> <div> These give ways to some interesting NPCs. All of these are wanderers of the Ashpit, afraid to return to the City of the Dragon Wives or too mad to head back that way.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> <b><i>THE OLD CROWNLESS KING</i></b></div> <div> He has lived since armageddon first came to heaven. His crown has been melted and his city turned into a pyre by his children. Radiance has given him a strange immortality; unless something murders him, he cannot die. Deep in the ashpits does he wander, searching out Ereshteteo in hopes of finding annihilation, or of finding his city again, which has long since been buried.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> <b><i>CHICABBAS, SUN IN THE ABYSS</i></b></div> <div> They are a leper who lives in the Abyss underneath the surface of Heaven. It is safe here, or so they say; their breath is a Radiance green and it pushes away the darkness better than any torch. They will lead you to treasure, to dragons, or to the surface for a price--just a single heart string from one of you. Not too tall a task to ask for, no?</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> <b><i>LALEELAL, WHOSE BROTHER SPEAKS WITH HER</i></b></div> <div> Her brother died and she consumed his corpse out of fear of starvation. Now she believes the second voice is that of her consumed sibling. She lives inside of Murdered Forest and uses her voice to trick people into impaling themselves onto petrified tree branches before finishing them herself and consuming their remains.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> <b><i>FORGOTTEN NECUAZA</i></b></div> <div> Drunk on his ability to spy on things no one else can, he beckons himself to be hurt by powerful dragons and then is completely ignored and forgotten by them. He will the party into hurting him and then spy on them too, choosing to steal from, kidnap, or torture one of them before begin forgotten again. </div> <div> <br /></div> <div> <b><i>ELOCOASTU, GODDESS OF CEASELESS DISCHARGE</i></b></div> <div> While traveling with an expedition, she discovered that the blood, vaginal discharge, mucus, and tears of other creatures were now holy symbols that gave her power and immortality. Her expedition built an altar for her, and the fires of Old Opal Wraiths--another type of discharge--became a new symbol too. She kidnaps explorers and forces them to worship her in preparation for storming the City of the Dragon Wives and becoming its God-Queen.</div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://themarquisat.blogspot.com/2018/06/radiance-mysticisms-are-spirituals.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='https://themarquisat.blogspot.com/2018/06/radiance-mysticisms-are-spirituals.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2018-06-11T08:34:00-07:00'>June 11, 2018</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://themarquisat.blogspot.com/2018/06/radiance-mysticisms-are-spirituals.html#comment-form' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5542736009709777215&postID=8047058638773652274&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5542736009709777215&postID=8047058638773652274&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475"); return false;' target='_blank' title='BlogThis!'><span class='share-button-link-text'>BlogThis!</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-twitter' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5542736009709777215&postID=8047058638773652274&target=twitter' target='_blank' title='Share to X'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to X</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-facebook' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5542736009709777215&postID=8047058638773652274&target=facebook' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=430,width=640"); return false;' target='_blank' title='Share to Facebook'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Facebook</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-pinterest' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5542736009709777215&postID=8047058638773652274&target=pinterest' target='_blank' title='Share to Pinterest'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Pinterest</span></a> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> Labels: <a href='https://themarquisat.blogspot.com/search/label/Dragon%20Wives' rel='tag'>Dragon Wives</a>, <a href='https://themarquisat.blogspot.com/search/label/Heaven%20Bless%27d%20%26%20Burned' rel='tag'>Heaven Bless'd & Burned</a> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="date-outer"> <div class="date-posts"> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/finalfantasy/images/c/cb/XIII-Ifrit.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100125101206' itemprop='image_url'/> <meta content='5542736009709777215' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='6235307375071066524' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='6235307375071066524'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://themarquisat.blogspot.com/2018/06/inside-pyre-cities-old-opal-kings-and.html'>Inside Pyre Cities, Old Opal Kings and Old Opal Wraiths Possess Pilgrims Shepherded by Wish-Granting Ifirit</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-6235307375071066524' itemprop='description articleBody'> Before Heaven was burned, every lodge-city was ruled by an Opal King. They were named for their armor and weapons, which were gifts given to them by Huitzallah's wife to prove their sovereignty.<div> <br /></div> <div> When armageddon came, those that survived the initial wave of destruction threw themselves into fires to become immortal. These profane flames scorched black their cities and incinerated their people. Now they are all but wraiths of opal flame that haunt Pyre Cities.</div> <div> <br /></div> <div> When a Gatherer lights a bonfire and summons these wraiths, there is a 1-in-6 chance of summoning an Old Opal King and a 2-in-6 chance of summoning an Old Opal Wraith.
