266, Description
Posted by Scarabaeus on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Twin points of burning red light twinkle within the sunken sockets of the undead god's eyes, long since rotted away. His decayed flesh clings to his ancient bones like translucent leather, his face a skeletal mockery of life, his hands like shrunken talons. Across his forehead, carved into the flesh with a blunt blade are the characters: "ThIAF", the edges of the carving darkened with age, giving the appearance of an embossed set of runes. A golden earring in the shape of a winged beetle hangs from his left ear, a black pearl stud adorning the right.
Decked out in brushed silk robes, the scent of perfumes and incense rise from this ghostly figure from which you would expect the stench of the grave. A cowl embroidered with three repeating symbols is draped over his bald skull, blanketing his wretched face with shadow.
At his side, slung through a striped sash, hangs the Sword of Perdition in its bone and sinew scabbard, studded with rubies.
