#14542, "[SCION] Sekhuroth the Spectre"
|
Sekhuroth the Spectre
Description+--------------------------------------------------------------+ | A sharply astringent odor blended with the unmistakable | | scents of death and decay catch your attention like a slap | | from a cold, calloused hand. Before you stands a drow whose | | piercing silver eyes, lit by coronas of crimson haze, | | threaten to skewer the very souls of men. He is clothed in | | the dark and luxurious attire of a sorcerer, yet sports a | | breastplate of red metal which glistens like a blood-soaked | | ruby. Upon a broad belt of linked metal is strung a long, | | elegantly curved scabbard housing an ensorceled blade better | | suited to some fiend of the black pit than a mortal. A small,| | battered copper can dangling from his belt, over the right | | side, seems to be the source of the strange medicinal fume. | | Looking more closely you can make out the word "balm," but | | the rest of the label is too scratched and faded to discern. | | As your gaze is drawn once again to the wizened, malevolent | | countenance you notice a hideous scarlet rash which has crept| | up from the neckline of his armor and stops just shy of his | | right eye, tapering off in a jaggedly-curved point like a | | bloody knife threatening to sever his sight. | +--------------------------------------------------------------+

RoleChapter 1 Revelations Added Sat Mar 24 13:03:24 2007 at level 47:On a particularly black evening when the planes were in an unusually perfect alignment, Sekhuroth was within the Underdark mastering the finer points of opening planar portals. He had just reached the mortal pinnacle of his guild, and had recently developed the Defiler's Way, an ability that was already within him and needed only to be refined.
Perhaps it was this new ability that caused what happened next; upon calling forth a planar portal he noticed a pinpoint of chartreuse light coming from within the blackness that was usually as solid as the earth on which he was standing. The light fluxed, churning within the portal and with a sudden burst, overtook it entirely, leaving a hellish green gateway before him. For a split second, Sekhuroth became fearful, but before the Ccul'gra surrounding him could sense it, he mastered the fear and stood still, waiting.
"YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW THIS HAS HAPPENED, DON'T YOU MY LITTLE SORCERER," boomed a voice from within the portal, shaking the very walls of the cavern.
It did not take long for Sekhuroth to recall the image of the vision he had long ago, and he knew that the one he spoke to was Arethul Vatos himself, who had somehow usurped the portal he had opened. Slowly, he answered, "I wish know it, if you would tell me."
"YOU ARE THE KEY. I HAVE INSTILLED IN YOU, UPON OUR FIRST ENCOUNTER, WITH A GIFT FOR STEPPING INTO THE NEGATIVE PLANE, AND WHENEVER YOU DO SO, A PART OF YOU STEPS INTO MY REALM, THOUGH YOU HAVE NOT KNOWN IT UNTIL NOW. AND FINALLY YOU HAVE REALIZED YOUR FULL POTENTIAL AS A DEFILER OF NATURE, AND EACH TIME YOU USE YOUR MAGICS WITHIN THE WILDS, THE LIFE THAT YOU STEAL FINDS ITS WAY TO ME."
"Then that is it? All I need to do to fulfill the agreement is continue to use my ma--"
"NO."
"IT IS NOT ENOUGH. YOU WOULD DIE AND BE TURNED TO DUST BEFORE ENOUGH ENERGY WAS SYPHONED. A TREACHEROUS PATH YOU MUST TAKE; YOU MUST BECOME A NIGHTMARE IN THE WAKING WORLD, MORE AKIN TO MY PLANE THAN YOURS."
"You speak of the Becoming?"
"OF COURSE. LIFE ENERGY IS WELCOME IN ANY FORM, AND NO CREATURE CAN TAKE MORE OF IT THAN A LICH. THAT IS YOUR PATH, DO NOT FAIL."
And with that final decree, the green glow of the portal flickered and melted away, leaving nothing but the void.

RoleChapter 2 The Early Years: Apprentice to the Night Added Mon Mar 19 13:06:43 2007 at level 40:Seeking a way to bring his visions of glory into being, and spurred to act swiftly by the thought of neglecting a bargain with the other side, Sekhuroth turned towards forbidden lore...the path to true power. To his great delight, he found that he had a gift in all things dealing with the art of Necromancy, and he drank deeply of that guild's teachings. Unknown to him was the fact that his connection with the dream world and his skill in the ways of the dead were linked, for his spirit itself had been imbued with a purpose before he was ever born...a purpose only the Gods know.
As the years passed, Sekhuroth was able to regain some lost ground with his kindred in the Underdark, though he was always viewed with caution. In fact, he was quite fortunate that he never had another "episode" of madness, for the standing orders were, as they still are, to kill him if he shows any signs of a relapse. After his apprenticeship with the guild had all but ended, he felt at last that he was capable enough to seek out the Scions of the Eternal Night; his painstaking research revealed to him many things about their organization, not the least of which was an affinity for the Shadow Plane. Recalling his glorious and terrifying vision, Sekhuroth deduced that he would have the best chance to uphold his bargain if he learned their secrets.
Kanaev, the Chancellor, rejected Sekhuroth's deal, feeling no need to bargain with some spectre of another realm that could do nothing to affect him. Fortunately, he saw the worth of this fledgling necromancer and granted him a place within the Fold. For the first time the notion that he might be unable to keep his bargain set upon him, for in his Drowish arrogance he never thought that would happen. However, he did gain a toe-hold, and that would be enough for now.

RoleChapter 3 An Offer Sekhuroth Couldn't Refuse Added Tue Feb 20 02:10:01 2007 at level 25:Some drow are born lucky. Sekhuroth can be counted among them. He was gifted with a form of dream-scrying at an early age, and became respected and, much to his liking, feared among his own people as he learned to harness this strange power. A strange sickness, or madness disease, as some called it, came over the entire world while he was young, and he suffered greatly from it. Those around him suffered more than normal as well, as if he somehow amplified the illness. It was not long before the last sane drow of his city banished him, knowing he was not the cause but refusing to suffer more because of him. He wandered in the darkness for weeks until, in his insane dreaming he was visited by the image of a great cyclopian woman, who upon opening her single, vast eye cured him of his affliction.
Shortly thereafter, as he wandered aimlessly in the dark, he was again visited by dreams of the cyclops, and he knew then that her name was Psuchae, and that it was to her that he owed his thanks for the gift of Dreamstalking. These things did not need to be said, for in a Dream they can be known without any apparent communication. Her image often faded to that of a great book flipping pages, and upon one particular page the visage of a drow, wizened and crowned as a king, appeared to him.
The face opened its mouth, and in an instant Sekhuroth knew that this was no mere drow, but a demi-god of the dead, and that he sought to strike a bargain. Images of portals, of arcane rites worked under the bone-white face of the moon came to him, and through these portals poured writhing shadows. But then an eerie green light blazed within them and he knew that they had changed- that the portals were now linked to this undead king's realm. Around him he could see shadowy trees withering, and crows falling from the sky. After a terrible torrent of sound and spectral light the portal snapped shut and on this side, amid an army of undead figures that had appeared out of nowhere, and the writhing shadows that had first come through, Arethul Vatos stood, neither alive nor dead. The idea of the payment came to mind, and Sekhuroth immediately saw himself seated upon a throne of platinum and bone, exuding a power unlike anything he had ever seen.
In that moment a bargain was struck. Arethul Vatos offered, and Sekhuroth, the fledgling priest of Psuchae, the Dreamstalker, accepted not fully knowing all of what he had gotten himself into.

RoleChapter 4 The Plot of Arethul Vatos Added Tue Feb 20 01:34:14 2007 at level 25:Our souls float on the winds of the nether when this world shows us how mortal we are, and when the breeze stills, where, then, are we? We find ourselves in the realm of some God or another - whichever we chose in life, or whichever chose us by measuring the weight of our spirits. However, there is a much more vast majority of souls, both of Thera and foreign to it, who have slipped between the ethereal cracks; many of them have found their afterlife dissolved when their God or Goddess was destroyed or swallowed by the maw of time. Some have been so long on that side of the veil that they simply long to move on, and so have sought to leave the havens of their patrons.
Kingdoms of the dead have risen in this way. Existence for these beings is a reflection of what their lives were, and they carry on in much the same way that the living do. But none of them, no, not a single one, ever forgot what it was to be alive.
In this dead realm, in what could be called the Capital City of Ghul'Vatos, his Supreme Majesty Arethul Vatos had a new vision which spawned from the boredom of his eternal rule. Vatos, formerly a high priest of the long-sleeping Nightmare, Nazmorghul, took control of this realm over five centuries ago. Despite endless border wars with encroaching kingdoms, he has maintained his place of power. He is consumed by the pursuit of the divine, believing that he is destined to walk with the Gods. Vatos does not share his wishes any but his most loyal subjects, for in this Godless realm all Gods are frowned upon, as most inhabitants have rejected theirs at some point or another. For thisscheme to work he must find a way to siphon some of Thera's life-force - the energy of Nature itself, and in doing so he will be able to gain ascension by force.
After formulating the diabolic, arcane rituals necessary to properly harness the energy, Vatos set about finding a conduit into our world that he could dominate or otherwise convince to help him. To his dismay he discovered that the very fabric of the universe seemed opposed to what he was trying to do, for though some could wield the energies of his realm from the other side, he could not punch a hole through to the living world. After a time he had nearly given up, when a great cataclysm rocked the fabric of his realm, nearly tearing it asunder with chaotic energy...energy not of his world. Sensing that this power was emanating from Thera, he took a great chance and projected his spirit through one of the tears that had been created. He found himself floating over a great, dark sea, and looking over his shoulder he saw the great rip in the fabric of reality. Immediately he knew that his time would be short, as he could sense the presence of great forces which were rallying to seal the rip in space and time. (He later learned that the tear was the result of Nyastren's last assault).
Doing as seemed natural to him, he sent his spirit speeding into the black earth in search of a most likely creature with whom he could bargain. Being a drow in life, he sought his own kind, knowing that few among them would resist the power he could offer...
