Yashul, the Great Reprisal
Image


Origin: It is unknown entirely where Yashul began. What is known is -- only -- that he died, once upon a dream, and then again. And then . . . again. Cast into darkness, torn from his flesh, thrown into the subsiding sea and drowned among the depths of the ocean. Yashul has fallen many times - though never wholly. Many often believe that the finality of his death is an impossible thing, brought on by his nature. The average scholar who has studied he, and his cult of scattered sorcerers, believes him to be an apparition of Nightmares, spawned from Emea. But Yashul is no Induk, nor Diri. He is something uncertain, a crafted abomination, born from the binding of a Mortalborn's soul, placed into the flesh of a monster. Or at least, the Empire's mage-scholars claim.

Description: Yashul, wherever he came from, is a monster of exceptional power - and temerity. Though he is no match for an Immortal, he has challenged them from the moment of his conception, craving the influence that spawns from them and their domains; knowing their Godliness, even for an ephemeral blink, has been much his purpose and destiny. In many ways, he is as mindless and singular as a Harvester, seeking reverence above all else.

Yashul is a large entity, nearly fifteen feet in height, followed by black tendrils of shadow and shifting wings that twist in shape; sometimes, they are a collection of skittering serpents, and others a large vestige of bat-like wings drawing out from his back. Typically, he is but a large shadow cast upon the ground, bubbling and rising into something else. Many believe his form and dimensions to be nearly infinite, restrained only by the darkness cast by the sun.

Behaviors: Typically, Yashul dwells in the northeastern reaches of the Eternal Empire, not far from Avaern. He borders on frost and fields, and lives in the thick forestry made possible by the sparse population of the Empire's outer reaches. Within the density of the forest, it is said that he lives among a collection of tribal sorcerers, fiercely loyal - and - apparently, deriving power from the entity. Often, he will leave the confines of his forested home, seeking to approach destitute souls in the shadows, whispering words of vengeance and recrimination. Although he is clearly a monstrous entity, he is sapient and capable of distinguishing allies from enemies. For this reason, one can speak to the shadow and gauge his reasoning and understanding, though he speaks only briefly and in a low, echoing whisper.

Influence: Yashul's influence is considerable, with a somewhat numerous following across the Eastern Continent, particularly within the bounds of the Eternal Empire, Athart, and Greater Sheor. Many of his followers are dejected members of society, and those who dwell outside of the confines of civilized nations; tribalists, animists, cultists, shamans and hedge witches. Those who fear the encroachment of the Immortals upon their land often flock to his dark gospel, and nowhere is his influence greater than on the fringes of the Empire, with Raskalarn's unclaimed denizens chanting for liberation from the great Imperator.

Due to his distinguished nature from both mage and Immortal, many consider him a spiritualist entity, corresponding to a naturalist and uncivilized version of Idalos. In many ways, this is true, and where there are cannibalistic and primitive men, there is often a darkly appreciation for Him.

Strengths: The entity, powerful even in comparison to the greatest of mages, is known to fight with shadowy blades; cutting, black tendrils. His ability to rip through nearly any material with what seems to be his organic shadow appendages is known to be his greatest asset - without expending any energy, or putting too much focus on any one thing, he can penetrate nearly any defense with a plethora of flexible black blades that extend naturally from his form, and move very quickly.

Yashul is - also - an enduring creature. Though he is not particularly difficult to puncture or penetrate, his shadows grow within themselves, effectively regenerating his body albeit at a moderate pace. One must nearly destroy him in his entirety to 'defeat him', only for him to eventually re-piece himself through time. Even the most insignificant of molecules reaching together from across miles can eventually reform him; thus, he is considered an unkillable entity.

Weaknesses: Though he is naturally very powerful, Yashul's abilities are fairly self-explanatory. He does not have many hidden tricks or secrets to reveal to his opponents; he is a sheer power that, if surpassed, is only a matter of calculation in order to defeat. It is unknown, however, if he has some sort of permanent weakness that can stop his regeneration. Though he is allegedly a bound soul, one cannot find a well or phylactery that binds him together, as one would for a Lich. Though many are certain he has a fatal weakness, none know it.

Tetzhuatl
Image
Name: Tetzhuatl

Appearance: The Tetzhuatl are a large avian predator species notable for their seemingly small wings, but large bodies and long necks. Despite their weight and size, and the comparably small size of their wings, they are a powerful predator and an apt flyer capable of maintaining speed of that of a typical flying mount, but for several days, the Tetzhuatl displaying considerable endurance. This is largely due to their high stamina and muscular arms, as well as the shape of their wings that permits gliding when flapping their wings is not necessary; they may essentially fly on cruise control and steer with their necks mid-flight. Additionally, their long necks allow them more spatial awareness as they can look around considerably more mid-flight, and do not have their vision blocked by their bodies or wings. They can spot out prey better than almost any other flying creature, and can descend very quickly and accurately upon prey from above.

In terms of their combat prowess, much of their strength relies on their agility and bite. Tetzhuatl are very fast and have quick reactions, and as they enter flight via jumping and spreading out their wings, their ability to quickly jump forward and backward long distances is a considerable boon, combatively. They are considered a huge threat even to soldiers and are not to be taken on without considerable back-up. In terms of size, they appear to be around 40 feet long on average, with some longer and some shorter. Their beaks alone are around 10 feet long and have considerable biting power, capable of snapping men in half with ease.

Description: The Tetzhuatl primarily live in grassy biomes such as plains and savannah. This is largely for survival reasons, as they can view their surroundings better and - whilst flying - can more easily pick out prey. Tetzhuatl do not typically vary much in biology between adults of either sex, and tend to live around the same length of time as well, about 50 arcs. Tetzhuatl tend to be whimsical maters and will choose whichever avian they feel is properly suited to their current needs. They tend to have many offspring and, as a result, many of the fields in the grassy plains of the Eternal Empire are covered in makeshift nests built by these creatures, occupied or unoccupied. They are not, in truth, very protective of their young - which is one of the reasons they can be bought and sold, as poachers will take Tetzhuatl chicks from their nests.

Typically, undomesticated Tetzhuatl are very violent and voracious, but domesticated ones can have positive relationships with humans and can be trained very well, as they are fairly intelligent creatures. The only downside is, of course, that they require a considerable amount of meat to stay satisfied... and as omnivores, they also typically require grazing room. As a result, as mounts or pets they are reserved for the wealthy, or farmers with lots of yard space and a considerable amount of livestock to fead Tetzhuatl with.

Livestock is also included in their list of prey when among the wild, though they will feed on nearly anything that they can find, including humans and even other predatory animals.

Frequency: Uncommon

Level of Danger: High

Additional Information: They can be purchased within any city within the Eternal Empire for 2,000 GN, 3,500 GN if trained; they can be domesticated.
