Appearance

To most, Praetorum would appear as any Ithecal; big and tall, with sharp teeth and a leathery hide. Anyone familiar with the Ithecal race, however, might find themselves doing a double take at the sight of him. Praetorum is the product of a mixed subrace pairing, and it shows. Standing at a relatively modest eight feet tall, he has the orange hide and rounded muzzle of the Paltharnum, but his hide is thick as any Thissium's and his jaws nearly as strong, while his claws are thick and blunt. Thick legs corded with muscle suggest an explosive sprinting power, as any who've seen him charge towards a battle can attest to, while webbed digits imply an ease and grace in the water that, in actuality, Prae does not have.

Due to a foray into an etherstorm, Praetorum's tail has been changed, and is now just over eight feet long, and fully prehensile. He typically wears it wrapped around his waist like a belt, but often brings it out during combat.

Most frequently, Praetorum can be found wearing either sorelian steel plate armor, or simple leather armor with the same clawprint on the right shoulder, or a simple green tunic with a black cloak.

Markings

• A silver circle of Yaralon, over his collarbone
• A hone witchmark over his sternum
• A Taithir shield on the back of his right hand
• A ring of glowing blue runes over both wrists
• A bright rune, almost like a brand, under his right eye
• Puzzle Eyes - Very fine lines running through his eyes
• A lichtenburg figure on the small of his back

Scars

• Badly healed scar tissue all over his body where patches of hide were stripped from his back and upper tail. Typically hidden under clothing.
• Light burn scars over his shoulder, torso, upper arms and upper legs.

Personality

Praetorum is an Ithecal set adrift, no longer certain of who he is or what he believes. Once, he was fully devoted to the Eternal Empire and its cause, the perfect soldier, set to rise up the ranks of the Legion for the glory of Raskalarn. Now, he is a deserter, on the run from his former comrades, bearing the mark of his nation's rival, Ethelynda. There is grief in his eyes, from losses both tangible and not, and buried under his stern exterior, a brittle confusion as to how he got here.

As a soldier of the Empire, Praetorum was determined, hard headed, and almost infuriatingly stubborn, as many of his kind are. Since his desertion, he has grown more withdrawn, and more adverse to social conflict, preferring to stay silent rather than provoke an argument. Faced with something he truly cares about though, his former self emerges, and he is again as strong willed as any Ithecal.

There is still a haughtiness to him, as well as a benevolent condescension. Having grown up taking care of a sickly sibling, he is a protector at heart.

In the arcs since his failure and desertion, Praetorum has recovered some of his old personality, now tempered with a quiet thoughtfulness.

History

Beginnings

They were a mated couple, like any other in Korlasir, only Luca and his wife Vitaria were awaiting the hatching of their first clutch. Neither spoke of their worries, but it hung between them all the same; this Cylus had been unusually icy, and a break in had left the clutch of three exposed to the freezing cold for a concerning amount of time. All they could do was curl in closer, trying to share their warmth and life with their unborn children, and pray for the best.

To their relief, the first to hatch was a healthy, hearty little boy, with his father's coloration and his mother's bite, as they discovered while picking him up. Praetorum, they told him, would be his name, and he would bring glory to the Eternal Empire.

The second to hatch was smaller — almost too small — and despite his sharp claws, he hadn't the fight of his brother, silent where Praetorum was already loud and demanding. That was alright, they said to him. His name was Serinus, and he would grow big and strong like his brother. And even if he didn't, they would love him all the same.

The third never hatched. They named her Siva, and promised to hold her in their hearts always.

Their remaining sons, they raised with care and caution, especially the every sicky Serinus. The younger Ithecal never did grow as big as he should have, but that was alright. Almost from birth, Praetorum was there at his side to help him, despite Serinus's frequent complaints. Side by side, they learned and trained under each parent's tutelage in turn. In typical Ithecal fashion, Luca and Vitaria could not come to an agreement on how to raise the two, each wishing for their children to follow in their footsteps. The eventual compromise, grudgingly reached, was for each to teach their craft on alternate days, until the children were old enough to decide for themselves.

Luca, spy and saboteur for the Order, told his children of the world beyond the empire, and taught them how to listen for falsehoods, how to coax others into doing their bidding, how to defend themselves weaponless; Serinus took to these lessons wholeheartedly, while only the last of those lessons stuck with Praetorum. Vitaria, a cavalier, taught them everything a soldier would need to know; riding, basic survival, shield combat, commanding troops, and of course, weaponry. Serinus, who loved swimming, took to the trident like a fish to water, whereas Praetorum found himself drawn to the scythe. Both youths were pushed frequently to test out different mounts, from horses to dogs to, on one notable occasion, a captured kheledzan mount.

By the time the two came of age, the paths their lives would take were obvious. Serinus was his father's son through and through, and would follow him into the realm of spycraft, whereas Praetorum, despite both his parents' complaints, had his heart set on becoming a legionnaire, claiming mounted combat went by too quickly for him to enjoy.

For a time, Praetorum tried to convince Serinus to join the infantry forces as well; he loathed the idea of being separated from the brother he'd always had to protect. He only relented when Serinus pointed out that with his constitution, joining the Legion in any combat capacity would be more dangerous, not less, and that if Praetorum truly cared so strongly, he was welcome to join Serinus in the Order. Declining to participate in what he called "a career talking to people who don't understand the way of the world", Praetorum only made his brother promise to visit before letting them go their separate ways.

It was a decision that haunted him years later, when his brother disappeared.

Serinus had simply never shown up to meet his watcher, he was eventually told. He'd gone missing in a foreign city, far from home, far from anyone who could have protected him.

He'd gone missing because Praetorum hadn't gone with him, because he'd been lax in his duty to Serinus. The guilt of it sank into Praetorum, and never left, even as the years passed and he moved on with his life. It sat with him, all the way up until his desertion in Zi'da of 718.

Turnabout

"There is no need to worry, sir, so long as you have nothing to hide." Praetorum tried to inject as much authority into his voice as he could manage, for all the good it did. To a man, the townsfolk obeyed with stoic caution, all humans too foolish to know they needed to be protected from themselves. They were so obviously hiding something that he almost wondered if it might not be a trap.

Word had come of a foreign agent infiltrating the villages along the southern edge of the Empire, and his team had been sent to this one. He'd expected this to be a trivial, cursory inspection, but trading glances with the other three members of his team, he could see they were all thinking the same thing: something was wrong here.

"Stop you bastard! Legionnaires, to me! The saboteur is escaping!" Their quinctus's voice rang out through the village; without missing a beat all four legionnaires turned and began to run towards their commander. Emerging past the ramshackle buildings out into the open plain, Praetorum spotted his quinctus, down on one knee clutching a bleeding leg wound, and past him, a cloaked Ithecal, sprinting for a nearby river.

"Mine." He barked out, and broke into a sprint, chasing the enemy down like a hound would a rabbit. The rest of his team, humans and thissums, hadn't a chance of matching his speed. Just as the enemy hadn't a chance of escaping him. The ground was uneven near the river, and unusually soft, but Praetorum was determined to catch his quarry. The cloaked Ithecal was almost to the water, but that was alright. He was close enough.

Swinging his scythe from his back, Praetorum dropped his grip to nearly the bottom of the handle, and swung. Not with enough force to cause any real damage, but enough for the blunt side of the blade to catch an ankle. He yanked, and the enemy tripped, so close to the river they could both hear the rushing of water as Praetorum lunged at him.

His scythe, sweeping down, was blocked by the handle of a trident, and the agent looked up at him, the hood falling from his cloak as he did so.

Praetorum froze, looking into the face of his long missing brother. For what felt like an eternity, the brothers stared at each other, weapons still entwined, too stunned to move. Until someone cried Praetorum's name from behind. Jerking his weapon back, Praetorum turned in response, only to see an arrow fly past his face and sink into Serinus's chest.

The rest of his team was racing towards him, while their quinctus, limping behind them, held a longbow in his hand. "Prae..." Serinus pleaded. His brother had always been so annoyed by Praetorum's attempts to help or save him; Praetorum had never heard him beg like this. "Help me."

That was all he needed to hear. With Partharnum speed, Praetorum darted past his team, his scythe lashing out as he did so. A gurgled cry of shock suggested he'd hit his mark, but he didn't give them a second glance. His real target was behind them, where his quinctus was nocking another arrow. His commander was a grizzled veteran, a highly trained soldier who was a match for any one of his legionnaires. But he had never expected a betrayal from one of his own, so when he looked up to find Praetorum lunging for him, scythe raised, a moment of shock sealed his fate.

Praetorum whirled around before the human's head had even hit the ground, his tail whipping around like a counterbalance. Two of his team members were on the ground, throats slashed open, while the third was fighting his brother, spear against trident. It was no contest. His team were all well trained soldiers, and Serinus was injured. He ran to them.

For once, he was too slow. A spear sank into Serinus's gut, moments before Praetorum's scythe took his former teammate's head off.





"It's going to be fine alright you're going to be fine we can— we just need to—" Praetorum's breathing was coming in ragged as he carried his brother to the camp Serinus had directed him to, and he trailed off, carefully laying his brother down on the ground. "Bandages, where are your bandages, please tell me you have some sort of healing kit around here." He rummaged frantically through his brother's pack for something, anything that could staunch the bleeding better than his cloak.

"Nothing"—he coughed—"nothing like that I'm afraid." His tail reached out, curling around Praetorum's ankle, who abandoned his search to kneel at his brother's side.

"I'm so sorry Ri I'm so so sorry." He choked out. Serinus shook his head.

"Not your fault." But it was, how could it not be? The one time in their lives Serinus asked him for help, and he had failed him. If he'd taken him and dove into the river, if he'd stayed close and shielded him, if he'd done anything but gone on the offensive, his brother might not be bleeding out before his eyes right now.

"I was supposed to protect you, Ri."

"You did protect me, all our lives, even when I complained about it. This was my fault, for being dumb enough to come back after deserting." Praetorum swallowed heavily, as his brother confirmed the thought that had been lurking in his mind since they'd recognized each other in the heat of battle. "None of this was your fault." Struggling up, Serinus drew Praetorum into a weak hug. "You were the best brother I could have asked for, Prae. I'm glad—"

"Don't, please don't —"

"— that I got to see you one last time."




He buried his brother just outside of his camp, beside the river. Serinus had always liked the water, more than Praetorum ever did, for all that Prae had been the one born with webbed digits. How long he knelt there, heart numb and heavy, he did not know. He didn't look when a shadow fell over him; a soldier come to take him in for treason, a bandit come to rob him, it hardly mattered. His brother was gone. Again.

He felt someone settle down beside him. "It hurts, doesn't it." A female voice, one he didn't recognize. "Losing someone you were trying to protect." He nodded numbly, eyes blurring with tears. "Everyone, weak or strong, needs protection sometimes, and there's so rarely someone there to give it to them."

He turned then, wiping his eyes. There was no mistaking the woman coiled up by his side, the brown scales and red eyes. Ethelynda herself, come to smite him for having failed as his brother's guardian.

"You have it the wrong way around." She told him quietly. "That you failed doesn't diminish you in my eyes. That you tried at all, one to four, that makes you worthy of my notice."

"It won't bring him back." Praetorum rasped.

"But it could help you stop the next loss." She reached out, grasping his hand. Despite himself, his fingers tightened over hers, taking solace in the small act of comfort. "Will you accept it?"

He hesitated a moment, then nodded. She squeezed his hand then. Her thumb brushed over the back of his hand, and as it passed, the image of a tower shield appeared, as if she'd wiped something away to reveal what was inside him all along.

"Could —" his voice cracked as she drew her hand away, and he looked down, embarrassed. She gave no response, but he felt the comforting weight of her presence at his back as he grieved. She was already gone by the time he looked up again, but that was alright. She'd already given him the strength to go on.

Aftermath

Whether he wanted it or not, Praetorum was a deserter now, and slated for execution for the slaying of his teammates. So, lost and alone, Praetorum made his way south, and settled in Yaralon. He'd been a warrior all his life, and found a sort of solace in the mercenary city, joining up with a small band called the Helping Hand. He expected that perhaps he would stay there for some arcs, earn some nels, figure out what to do with the shell of his life.

The fates had other plans.

Rebirth, 719, was truly the cycle that Praetorum was remade, quite literally. The chain of events began in Cylus, when Praetorum flew out to rescue a shipwreck full of Yari and children (1 2 3 4 5 6 ). It was a harrowing four trials, but at the end of it, Praetorum gained three things: a knife, made from the bones of a lost friend; an improved Taithir mark; and the attention of his commanding officer.

Edyn, one of the captains of the Helping Hand, took Praetorum under her wing, and initiated him into Hone, hoping he would take her place in the company. But the fates had other plans.

Prae took on the spark of Hone, and then of Defiance, and then of Attunement. And still, he was forced to learn that however powerful he grew, he could not save everyone.

Emea shattered before his eyes, Luther slipped once more from his grasp, and his company ran up against a foe they were badly unprepared for.

When the company disbanded, most of the mercenaries signed on with new companies. But two chose to stay with Praetorum, and Praetorum in turn, resolved himself to leave Yaralon, finding himself deeply unfulfilled in the city of mercenaries. He traveled westwards, first to Etzos, and then to Melrath.

Both had been greatly changed by the fall of Emea; Etzos, a city famed for its loathing of immortals, had been enthralled by the Webspinner, while Melrath was drenched in blood by mage hunts.

In the chaos, a rogue Archmage of the Syns seized the opportunity to kidnap as many mages, marked, and mortalborn as possible, bringing them to the tower of Niflheim where she and her subordinates performed their 'experiments'. After a failed escape attempt, Praetorum spent almost three seasons in that place, before he could breath again as a free man.

It took until Ymiden of the 720th arc for he, and a fellow prisoner he'd brought with him, to recover enough to leave Melrath. News had come of a disaster in Rharne, and, so Praetorum and his motley band traveled back to the eastern continent, and join the defense of Storm's Edge

[Praetorum]

Abilities

Capstones

Shield

Stalwart Protector - Praetorum never fights without thinking of the safety of the warriors at his back, and has learned to use his shield to protect them instead. If there are allies within melee range of Prae, he is able to block or parry attacks aimed at them as easily as if they were aimed at himself, without getting in his ally's way. This does not affect the total area Prae can block at once—his shield remains the same size as ever, and while he is blocking here, he is not blocking there—but rather, increases the range at which he can effectively and unobtrusively block attacks. This capstone works with the capstone Turtle Shell
Approval

Parry & Riposte - After catching a melee attack on his shield, Praetorum is now able to consistently force his opponent off balance by parrying, making an opening for himself or an ally to attack. His own ability to utilize this opening is unchanged by this capstone, and while Prae is parrying one attack, he cannot use that shield to defend against other attacks made at that same time.

The weapon skill of an opponent affects the efficacy of this skill: broadly speaking, a novice will lose their weapon and balance entirely, a competent opponent will stumble and leave themselves wide open for a time, an expert will stagger and recover their balance within several seconds, a master and above will be able to stand their ground and make openings of a second or less, and an opponent whose weapon skill is equal to or higher than Praetorum's shield skill will be able to avoid making an opening at all.

This capstone applies to all shield types.
Approval

Turtle Shell - Prae can consistently and tactically use a shield slung over his back in combat as deftly as he could use it on his arm. Shield capstones and abilities cannot be used while Prae is wearing his shield like this, unless otherwise stated. He is also capable of shifting his shield between his back and his left arm quickly enough to be useful in combat.

The Best Offense... - For Praetorum, combat is combat, whether he's on the defense or offense. Using his shield to block enemy attacks counts as attacking that enemy for the purpose of any abilities or capstones that key off of Prae attacking someone.

Tactics

Watchful Gaze - After arcs of combat, Prae has turned rapid tactical analysis into an art form, and learned the logic behind the ebb and flow of fights and wars. As he watches an enemy maneuver, he gets a better feel for the own tactical style the more information he has, and can make educated guesses on their next actions. The efficacy of this capstone depends on the tactics skill of his opponent—against a novice and competent tactician, Prae is able to understand their plans almost completely; against an expert, he is able to grasp the general idea, but not the specific details, against masters and grandmasters, he is able to confidently grasp the broad strokes, but has to guess the rest.


Friendly Fire - Praetorum has learned to use enemies against each other, and can consistently set up situations where two or more of his opponents, whether they are allied with each other or not, will get in each others way while trying to attack him. Each opponent in this case might be a single person, or might be a group of any size, from a gang to a battalion to an army; as long as they are following the same set of orders while acting against Prae, they count as a single opponent.


Shoulder to Shoulder - Praetorum rarely ever fights alone, and has learned how to anticipate not only his enemy's movements, but his allies as well. By observing them and predicting their movements, Prae is able to move and fight through the battlefield without interfering with his allies despite his size.

Not only that, he can also synchronize his attacks with anyone attacking the same enemy as him, his movements complimenting theirs as if they had trained for years to fight together. Anyone attacking the same enemy as him can increase their weapon/unarmed skill by one skill level, as he creates openings and opportunities for them to take advantage of, as well as locking down his opponent's options.

This capstone requires that Prae use a weapon, unarmed or offensive magic skill he is at least expert in to attack; it only allows Prae to analyze and plan, and requires actual combat skill to execute.

Tactical Retreat - The experience of being on both the winning, and the losing side of many battles has given Prae a keen eye for avenues of retreat, not only for his own side, but for his enemies and allies as well. In any combat situation, whether a war or a duel, Prae can see all the ways in which every participant in the combat could retreat, and accurately gauge their pros and cons, as well as how to keep them open and close them off (his ability to act on this knowledge is unchanged). This capstone also always allows him to create escape routes for any party, although it might come at a heavy cost. The efficacy of this capstone depends on Prae's accurate understanding of the terrain and surroundings. If an enemy were to hide an escape tunnel, for instance, this capstone would not allow Prae to learn that on its own.

To the Point of Formlessness - Praetorum knows what signs or hints might give away his plans, and has learned to obscure them, either by hiding them or by drowning them in false information. As a result, his tactical maneuvers are nearly impossible to discern until they are executed. This capstone alone does not allow him to feign what he's doing at a moment but allows him to render inscrutable the steps he will take to where he's headed in his overall strategy.

Ease of Use - Praetorum has learned how to develop plans that are easy to execute and explain, even for non tacticians. The details of his tactical plans will not degrade as they are handed from one messenger to another, or even translated into different languages, as the simplicity of the tactical plan's explanation is such that it doesn't leave room for errors in understanding. Note that this does not affect the quality of the plan itself—a flawed plan perfectly executed as Prae envisioned it will still fall apart.

Marks

Taithir - Exalted

Marked by Ethelynda, Praetorum bears the symbol of a silver tower shield with elaborate gilded edges on the back of his right hand.

Favored

Awarded Here
Serpents Hood - Named for the technique many snakes use to appear more threatening, Serpents Hood generates an aura around the user that makes them appear like significantly bigger threat than the people around them, drawing the attention of enemy combatants towards the Shield-Bearer and away from more vulnerable targets. This ability lasts until the Shield-Bearer deactivates it or is rendered unconscious or dead.

Enduring Scales - The Shield-Bearer's skin takes on a scale pattern, allowing them to absorb more physical damage than they could before. Poisons and toxins also take longer to effect the Shield-Bearer. The effect only lasts for a single Bit, and takes a Break to recharge before it can be used again.

Protective Skills I - Add an extra three skill points to one of the following skills: Any Weapons Skill, Shield Use, or Endurance. Any skill points granted by this Mark can break the 100 point cap on skills.

Awarded Here
Honor's Shield - A skill that serves as a boost to the Shield-Bearer and their allies, Honor's Shield boosts the capabilities of the users own shield and those of their allies with a fifty yard radius, allowing them to block abilities that might otherwise shatter, pass through, or go around their shields, allowing them to defend against skills and techniques that would otherwise be much more dangerous.

Inspire - When this skill is activated, those around the user find themselves able to resist the fears and doubts that plague their minds, allowing them to act in spite of them when they might otherwise be unable to do so. This does not only apply to martial fears and doubts, but to fears and doubts in all facets of life.

Awarded Here
Nobility's Endurance - A skill that requires a short sentence, of the Shield-Bearers own design, to activate, Nobility's Endurance grants all allies within hearing range of the Shield-Bearer, as well as the Shield-Bearer themselves, a boost to their endurance, allowing them to take more punishment than usual. The effect lasts three Bits and can't be used again for a Break. [Activation Phrase - 'Stand Fast!']

Awarded Here
Calm Mind : For a short period of time, the wielder of this skill is able to calm themselves completely, leaving them immune to taunts or other attempts to anger them or otherwise knock them off balance.

Noble's Shield: As the shield of the helpless and weak, no Shield-Bearer should be without their own shield. Noble's Shield will generate a golden tower shield when used and will last until shattered or deactivated, ensuring no Shield-Bearer is without this defense. However, these shields are no substitute for a real shield, as they cannot take too many heavy blows before shattering. In exchange, however, these shields have a cooldown of only a single bit.

Awarded Here
Second Wind: A skill that activates when the bearer is on their last legs, this gives them a burst of sudden energy at the moment when they need it most. However, this ability has a large drawback in that it can leave the bearer bedridden for several Breaks.

Adored

Awarded Here
Iron Scales: The shield bearers skin literally becomes hard and scaly, giving them a significant boost to the level of physical damage they can take to their bodies. In addition, poisons and toxins are slowed to an high degree and weak poisons and toxins will halt their progress completely while this ability is in effect. The ability lasts for three Bits and takes two Breaks to recharge. This ability does not share a cooldown with Enduring Scales.

Serpent Manifestation: A skill that allows the bearer to summon a Taithir Serpent familiar, a serpentine spirit that aids the user in battle. This familiar has no real mind of its own but follows the directions of the summoner, though it will act to defend its summoner in extreme situations. The appearance of this familiar is unique to each Shield-Bearer, but each is the size of an anaconda and can take significant punishment.

Protective Skills II: The character is granted an extra six skill points which may be spent only on the following skills: Any Weapons Skill, Shield Use, or Endurance. Any skill points granted by this Mark can break the 250 (or 100 if fast track) point cap on skills. Within these skills, the points may be spent how the pc chooses.

Serpent Tongue: This skill is seemingly useless at first, as it only allows the bearer to understand the language of snakes. However, this gives the bearer access to all the information that snakes can gather undetected, allowing those who know how to listen to find information they might never have otherwise learned. There are myriad other uses to this ability, depending on the ingenuity of the Shield-Bearer.

Serpents Interception: Referencing the blinding speed of a striking snake, Serpents Interception creates a dome around the Shield-Bearer that extends in a five foot radius around them. This dome blocks all physical projectiles, no matter how strong. An opponent could, however, walk right through this shield to engage the Shield-Bearer close range. It is worth noting that this dome does not prevent ranged attacks from inside the dome. The dome lasts for three Bits and can't be used again for a full Break.

Serpentine Awareness: This ability allows the Shield-Bearer to detect the heat signatures of other people, causing them to appear fiery red in their vision. The real benefit to this ability, however, is mental in nature, as it also gives the Shield-Bearer an automatic awareness of everyone around them through this detection, even those who would normally be out of sight. This ability lasts until deactivated, but causes a migraine with sustained use.)

Detect Threat: An ability that is passive in nature, Detect Threat allows the Shield-Bearer to know when harm is intended to them or their allies. This makes it difficult, though not impossible, to be caught off guard or backstabbed. However, knowing there is a threat doesn't allow the Shield-Bearer to know when or where it's going to come from, so it does not pay for them to get complacent and rely too much on this ability.

Serpentine Venom: A skill that seems out of place with the majority of Taithir's skills, Serpentine Venom is a skill that gives the bearer the same paralytic venom found within the bite of the Ithecal, however, instead of being limited to a bite this skill allows the bearer to coat their weapons in this venom. The potency of the venom and how long it lasts varies on how and where it is being used and the how familiar the user is with this skill.

Protective Ward: An ability that applies to both the Shield-Bearer and their allies, Protective Ward coats those affected in golden scales. These scales will endure any attack, no matter how potent. However, after enduring this one attack, the effect will fade. This ability can only be used once a Break.

Exalted

Coiled Strike: A skill that feeds off the damage the exalted has endured, Coiled Strike turns all the pain and suffering the bearer of Taithir has endured and turns it into strength to empower the user, giving them strength to rival the crushing power of the mightiest serpents coils. The skill only lasts a short time and can't be used more than once in a Trial.

Immortal Scales: The Shield-Bearers skin becomes the exact same chocolate brown scales that cover the tail of the Noble Serpent herself, allowing them to take an extreme amount of physical punishment. In addition, the progress of poisons and toxins slows to a crawl, while weak poisons and toxins will be cured. This ability lasts for five Bits and takes three Breaks to recharge. This ability does not share a cooldown with Iron Scales or Enduring Scales.

Protective Skills III: The character is granted an extra nine skill points which may be spent only on the following skills: Any Weapons Skill, Shield Use, or Endurance. Any skill points granted by this Mark can break the 250 (or 100 if fast track) point cap on skills. Within these skills, the points may be spent how the pc chooses.

Protect the Flanks: An ability that affects only the Shield-Bearer, Protect the Flanks creates three golden tower shields, one on each side of the Shield-Bearer and one at his back. These shields have the same durability as the Shield-Bearers own shield and will last five bits or until broken. This ability has a cooldown of one break.

Scales of the Noble Serpent: The Shield-Bearer is surrounded by an aura that takes the form of scales when struck. Any magic that comes in contact with the outer edge this field is instantly nullified, however this aura is useless against physical attacks. This ability lasts for five Bits and can't be used again for a full Trial. It should be noted that while it makes the Shield-Bearer all but immune to most magic, it also makes most magic completely useless to them while the aura is in place.

Great Wall: Considered one of the most spectacular skills in a Shield-Bearers arsenal, Great Wall triggers when the Shield-Bearer invokes it and slams their shield into the ground in front of them. The ability then creates a chest-high wall on either side of the Shield-Bearer that goes until it either hits another solid object or reaches a point 150 feet away from the Shield-Bearer. This wall is impenetrable to all but the most powerful attacks and will last for as long as the Shield-Bearer stays anchored at the center of the wall. If the Shield-Bearer is moved from that spot by so much as an inch, the wall will dissipate instantly. This ability can only be used once a Trial.

Celarion - Adored

Marked by Qylios, Praetorum wears three bands of light around his left arm.

Favored

Bond (Minor): The Favored can Bond with 1 other person. In doing so the Bonded individual gains a single glowing band around their left forearm. The Bond remains as long as both the Favored and the Bonded allow it. The Bond only functions within 300 feet of the Favored, and dissipates shortly beyond that distance.

Illustrious Skills I : The character is granted an extra three skill points which may be spent only on the following skills: Blades, Leadership, Discipline, or Endurance. Any skill points granted by this Mark can break the 250 (or 100 if fast track) point cap on skills. Within these skills, the points may be spent how the pc chooses.

Bound in Battle: The Favored and those Bonded with them are better able to fight together. Their tactics and movements flow almost seamlessly with little-to-no spoken communication. The Bond passes insights and slight thoughts between those Bonded while in combat together.

Brilliant Weapons (Minor): The Favored is able to create weapons out of solid light. The Favored can only generate one melee weapon at a time. To produce a weapon, the Favored must be in an area of substantial illumination (ie. Outside during the day, in a well-lit room, or at night during a full moon).

Bound Tongue (Minor): The Favored is able to understand one Fluent Language of those they have Bonded. The selected language can be changed once per trial.

"Hold the Line!": The Favored is able to bolster the morale of any who stand with them. The call rings out and dispels fear in the defenders, whether mundane or magical. Those affected by the shout gain a small boost in stamina and the use of a shield. The effects of this ability last for ten bits, and can only overcome magical fear effects from other Marks of the same tier or lower. Any fear effects caused by Domain Magic can be overcome as follows: Favored can overcome Magic at a Competent level or lower, Adored can overcome Expert level or lower, and Exalted can overcome Master level or lower.

Guiding Light: The Favored is able to summon a free floating orb of light to brighten their surroundings. The color and intensity of the light can be controlled, though it doesn't get any brighter than daylight. The orb has no physical form and can't be touched. The light generated by the orb cannot be used by the Brilliant Weapon ability.

Radiant Mantel (Minor): Once per trial, the Blessed can call upon their inner light and shroud themselves in an aura of light. The aura draws those around the Blessed to them and holds them in awe. Those bathed in its light are more willing to listen to what the Blessed says and are willing to follow the Blessed in actions that are only slightly against their nature.

"Fall Back!": The Blessed calls for a tactical retreat. Those within earshot of the call, or if a signal is given via horn or other means, are filled with renewed vigor as they retreat. Those bonded to the Blessed move quicker and only need to be within functioning range of their Bond to take effect of this ability upon activation.

Adored

Bond (Moderate): The Adored can Bond with up to 3 other people. In doing so all Bonded individuals gain the single glowing band around their left forearm. The Bond remains as long as both the Adored and those Bonded allow it. The Bond only functions within 1000 feet of the Adored, and dissipates shortly beyond that distance. Images and feeling can be willed across the Bond. The higher the sender’s Discipline, the more details can be relayed.

Illustrious Skills II: The character is granted an extra six skill points which may be spent only on the following skills: Blades, Leadership, Discipline, or Endurance. Any skill points granted by this Mark can break the 250 (or 100 if fast track) point cap on skills. Within these skills, the points may be spent how the pc chooses.

Bound Beyond Blood: The Adored can share in the Racial Bonus' of those whom they have Bonded, and share their own Racial Bonus with the Bonded. 10 points of the Adored's Racial Bonus are shared with those they have Bonded, and 10 points of each Bonded’s Racial Bonus is shared with the Adored.

Brilliant Weapons (Moderate): The Adored is able to create weapons out of solid light. The Adored can generate one melee weapon and one shield, or one ranged weapon at a time. To produce a weapon, the Adored must be in an area of decent illumination (ie. Outside during sunrise or sunset, near a campfire or other light source during the night, or in a dimly lit room).

Bound Tongues (Moderate): The Adored is able to understand and speak one Fluent Language of those they have Bonded. The selected language can be changed once per trial.

Lead the Charge: The Adored is able to empower and bolster the morale of those who follow them. If the Adored is at the head of any group of individuals, they and any mounts they ride are less likely to flinch during a charge. The number of targets affected by the aura is equal to the Adored's Leadership skill.

Magic

Hone - Savior
The hone spark is fairly well suited to its mage, with a strong propensity for rescuing or protecting people. This spark doesn't care much whether its effects are used to help people directly, or if it can boost its mage's power so he can help people. One thing it will absolutely not accept is inaction in the face of people in need.

Awakenings

Rune of Naming (Witchmark): Praetorum's rune of naming is on his chest, and glows a clear, icy blue.

Duty Calls (Competent): A ring of flickering Lucis runes, glowing that same frosty blue, floats around the wrist of Praetorum's shield arm. Whenever someone requests aid, or he notices someone in need of help, the runes flash and spin until he at least makes a good faith attempt to help. As his spark grows, these runes become more and more insistent, and demand that he give more to help.

Bestowment (Expert): A second ring of runes encircles Praetorum's right wrist, identical to the one from his competent mutation, with the same effect. Praetorum is able to transfer each of them to any person that needs saving within his sight, which draw four runes on them; resistance on the back, focus on the head, endurance and speed drawn on each arm and dispersed over the whole body. Each ring reforms overnight once transferred, draining the ether required from him over that period of time. Praetorum can also reform each ring while he has the ether to spare, in the amount of time it would take for him to draw a single rune.

Those who wear his rings are marked as under his protection while the runes still linger on them, a responsibility his Savior spark takes very seriously. Should any of them die (as far as he knows) while still under his protection, a ring of black runes will appear around his throat. This ring compels him to self flagellate over his failure, and will not dissipate until he places himself in a state of painful sensory overload for at least 10 bits with the runes of sound, sight, or touch. Though Praetorum is capable of resisting this urge for short periods of time, the compulsion grows stronger the longer he resists.

Ebb and Flow (Master): Having been influenced by Praetorum's master defiance spark, Praetorum's runes have taken on the visual appearance of blue lightning, seeming to constantly crackle with electricity. And like electricity, the power in Praetorum's runes has learned to flow. Where normally, chained runes split the power of each rune equally, Praetorum is now capable of drawing chained runes with uneven power levels, but with the same overall strength and ether cost as before. For instance, he could now have a three rune chain where the strength rune is at 50% power, the endurance rune is at 30%, and the speed rune is at 20%. However, no rune can go below 20% or above 80% in power.

This mutation broadens Praetorum's options, in many respects. But it also narrows them. As this mutation takes effect, he will find he is no longer capable of drawing unchained runes, either on himself or on others.

There are only a few exceptions to this, where the nature of the rune itself prevents the flow of power. The runes of prediction and rebound burn up far quicker than any other, while the rune of resistance naturally disperses through the body in a way other runes don't. Their unique nature means that these three runes cannot be chained at all, and must be used alone. Additionally, while Prae is still only capable of drawing overloaded runes chained, the nature of the technique shatters the chain, and only overloads one of the runes at full power while dismissing the other(s). Which rune is overloaded is random.

Born for Glory (Master): The Savior spark, hungering for glory, has a particular penchant for the most awe inspiring of Runewright techniques, the Lucis Bond. When using this technique, Praetorum is able to double the casting time to halve the ether cost of this ability.

This mutation has two additional effects as the spark craves more and more attention:

First, Praetorum's runes can no longer be hidden under clothing or armor; even if drawn on bare skin and covered up, the runes will emerge through those layers and sit where they can be seen. This includes the rings of runes from his competent & expert mutations.

Second, it is not enough, for the Savior spark, that its host should rescue those in need; it desires to be used, and to be seen being used to help others. Praetorum will find himself compelled to, where possible, use Hone while saving or helping people, even if it might not be necessary, or when other skills may be more suited. Other magics and skills can be used, of course, but the Savior spark demands the spotlight.

Grimoire

Core Runes
Learned: Strength, Touch, Endurance, Savouring, Sight, Sound, Speed


Lucis Runes
Learned: Regeneration, Resistance, Ethersight, Focus, Prediction, Rebound

Defiance - Flow
Perhaps because the mage who initiated Prae into defiance was also a rupturer, or perhaps some part of his once dragon soul recalls flying unfettered by gravity, or perhaps just out of sheer chance, his defiance spark has a strong affinity for movement, mobility and freedom. This is on a much smaller scale than a rupturing spark, and doesn't compel him to move from city to city, but does mean that he has difficulty staying still.

Awakenings

Borne on the Winds (Witchmark): Every step Praetorum takes is accompanied with a slight gust of wind in the direction he's moving, as if the air itself is trying to help him fly as he walks. The strength of the gust varies, and is always just a little stronger than the ambient wind at the moment. Indoors, it is barely more than a puff, whereas in the midst of a storm, it could be quite strong indeed.

Still as a Shark (Competent): When swimming, Praetorum will find the water becomes much thicker under his hands and feet and around his tail, allowing him to propel himself far better with his webbed fingers and toes and use his tail more effectively as a rudder. On the flip side, if he stops moving while mostly submerged, whether its because he's treading water or floating on the surface or trying to take a bath, the water will start to flow randomly of its own volition, turning into a riptide that drags him wherever the water wants. The riptide will stop short of trying to drown him, but it will make it very difficult for him to get away as it buffets him to and fro.

Ceaseless Dance (Expert): Praetorum's Flow spark finds its greatest joy in movement and motion, and as it grows stronger, has less and less patience for stillness. When Dancing the elements, Praetorum will find he is no longer able to dance them into complex static shapes, and when the elements still for more than a few trills, he loses control of them. Even something as simple as a pillar of earth will crumble into a pile of dirt once it ceases to rise. In exchange though, his awareness of the elements in motion has become much defter. The ripples a fish leaves as it swims through a lake, the dirt shifting under the paw of a hound, the currents of hot and cold air in the sky; by entering a meditative state, Praetorum is able to use one train of thought to detect movement in, and through the elements around him. His range for this ability is the same as his range for defiance in general, and its use incurs a passive ether cost while active.

Inner Flame (Master): The fire Praetorum has always had in his heart has become somewhat less metaphorical now. When he opens his mouth, a flickering glow can be seen in the back of his throat. His body temperature has risen noticeably as well, enough for most humans to feel uncomfortably warm when they touch his bare scales. He can also produce small candle sized flames on the tips of his claws and tail, although using this too frequently will leave him rather hungry. And while Praetorum can eat food without issue, he will soon find his hunger can only be sated by embers, charcoal, and other burning or burnt materials.

Speed of Lightning (Master): Under the influence of Praetorum's flow spark, his chosen refinement, lightning, has learned to Embrace him as the other core elements have. When shooting a bolt of lightning from his person, Praetorum is able to travel along that bolt, emerging anywhere along its path in a moment. This act has its own ether cost, equivalent to using Embrace on any other element along a comparable distance.

Because he travels along the bolt immediately after its creation, his ability to dance it into an unnatural shape is even more limited than before, and the bolt is essentially limited to traveling in a straight line in the direction Praetorum pointed it.

This means that he cannot cross barriers, even conductive ones, as the bolt will disperse upon striking it and deposit him right in front of it. It also means that if the bolt’s path can be altered, whether through electromagnetic interference, or the power of another defier, Praetorum will be forced to emerge somewhere other than where he had expected.

This mutation electrifies Prae constantly to some small degree: magnets and compasses fail unpredictably around him, animals that rely on electromagnetic senses will avoid the area around him, and there is a slight static discharge whenever he brings two claws together.

The final mark this mutation leaves on him is a small lichtenburg figure on the small of his back, still thick with static as if lightning is trying to crawl out of his hide. Each time he travels along a lightning bolt, it grows in size (relative to the distance Praetorum has travelled), branching out in a random direction. While on his back, this figure has no effect. But when the branches reach his limbs, the growing tide of electricity within him begins to take its toll on them. When they reach his shoulder or hips, the respective limb will grow numb and tingly, the effect increasing as the figure grows until it reaches the elbow or knee, whereupon that limb deadens. Anyone who touches that limb while it is deadened will receive a painful electric shock.

This adds an element of risk when Praetorum overuses this ability: after making a very long jump, he might be lucky and find himself more or less in fighting form, with only a slight tingle in each limb, or he might land to find one arm completely useless.

This is not a permanent effect, as the lichtenburg figure slowly shrinks over time, and function returns to his limbs as the branches retreat. But though the overall rate of shrinkage is constant over time, which parts shrink is also random.

Overall, the rate of shrinkage would be three trials to remove all effect from one entire limb (fingertip to elbow, elbow to shoulder, shoulder to back each taking a trial each.)

Mutations

Brand of Burning Hunger - A bright rune that shines with the light of a fiery brand becomes evident beneath Praetorum's right eye. This rune doesn't do much, but whenever Praetorum manipulates fire from here onwards, it flares up.

Attunement - Suspicion
Just as dreams hold up a dark mirror to reality, so too is this mysterious new magic, planted in him during a strange collective dream, a warped reflection to his other sparks. Where Flow and Savior stride forwards, as befitting a mage raised by a warrior, Suspicion holds back, watching and gauging. It brings to life a part of Praetorum almost forgotten, the part of that Ithecal that had been raised, too, by a spy. It is not a spark of inaction, but rather, the calm before the storm, the calibration before a pounce, the plan before a war.

Witchmark

Puzzle Eyes - Praetorum's eyes have numerous fine lines running through them, as if they have been disassembled and then carefully put together

Mutations

Snap Judgement - All it took was one betrayal, one instance of laxness, for Prae and Suspicion to be forced into overstepping after fighting for breaks. As a result of this, Suspicion will no longer allow strangers to be unknown to him for long. Whenever Praetorum meets someone new from now on, his spark compels him to use attunement and other observational skills to make a quick assessment of that person's combat & magical abilities, as well as seeking out any signs of deception. This puts the spark in conflict with Prae, who is generally trusting and prefers to think the best of the people around him.

Spirits

Sap - Diri of Weakness
Dragged into a mysterious dream, Praetorum underwent a trial most peculiar. And when he woke, he found something dwelling within him that was not there before; a spirit, the dark mirror of his first spark. Where the spark named Savior empowers, the spirit named Sap depletes.

When manifesting outside of Praetorum's body, Sap takes on the appearance of a dark, indistinct shadow attached to Prae's tail, with a somewhat birdlike head. Most frequently though, Sap simply stays within Praetorum, watching and waiting.

The bond between Prae and Sap has given the Ithecal access to a number of the diri's powers:

Sapping Spirit

1) Trapping Spirit: Sap feeds off the strengths of others by leeching off those strengths, leaving them weak. The easiest way for it to do this is to lay in wait of a potential victim, creating a trapped zone exactly five feet long, wide, and tall. Any living thing that even partialy enters this trapped zone is something that the spirit can begin feeding from. This ability doesn't have any draining effects itself, but rather allows Praetorum and his spirit to drain a target at a distance, as otherwise Praetorum has to be touching the victim for the spirit to be able to drain them. Only one such trapped zone can exist at a time, but until the trap has been triggered, Praetorum can move it at will, with a delay of only a few moments. After the trap has been activated, it cannot be used for another break. The connection between diri and prey will break at a miles distance.

2) Physical Drain: Sap can drain the strengths from a person (including Praetorum), one physical strength at a time per person. This drain is not permanent, as the victim will slowly recover over a trial. However, the Diri can, over 10 bits, drain up 3/5ths of the victim's speed, strength, endurance, sight, hearing, or any other physical ability (average 1% per 10 seconds).

3) Transfer: As a mark of the symbiotic nature of the relationship between Spirit-Bonded and their Diri, Sap is willing to give up some of its meal to Praetorum, using what it drained from its victim to enhance that same ability of Praetorum's by up to half again what it already is—the amount given scales with the amount taken. This boost takes into account any magic or Blessings that are already boosting Praetorum's strength, and can last up to half a trial.

4) Rapid Drain: Using a large burst of power, Praetorums' Diri can drain all the physical ability of a target within two bits. This ability hits all the physical abilities of the victim, but can only drain 2/5ths of their ability(average 1% per 3 seconds). The Diri also doesn't get anything out of this, and will go into a semi-dormant state, slowly feeding off Praetorum over the course of the next trial, taking 1/3rd of his strength across the board. Once a trial has passed, the Diri will wake up, and Praetorum's strength will return over the course of the following trial.

Aurien - Ice Forged Diri

Appearance

As an Ice Forged of Scalvoris, Praetorum has a diri companion that allows him to use his Ice Forged powers.

Shy and inquisitive, Aurien prefers to stay hidden from mortals, all the better to watch them go about their lives. To strangers, Aurien is quiet, cold and reserved; to their friends, Aurien is curious and playful, though still somewhat placid. The icy diri's anger is slow to rouse—but once it emerges, it strikes with all the force of an avalanche.

Powers

• Reforged: Forged are not named as they are for no reason. By accepting an Induk's deal their body is filled with their power and tempered by it, making it tougher than it was before. A Forged will find that their skin is like a leather armour and their bones like iron rods, making them more resistant to blunt physical damage.
• Frozen Heart: Sometimes a guardian must make tough choices in order to do their duty. They must be able to put aside their own personal desires and act in the best interests of many. Ishallr understands this better than most, and with this ability allows his Iceforged to ease the burden of such a difficult decision. Frozen Heart is an ability that can be activated by the user at will, or triggered by Ishallr or the Iceforged's diri. With it the Iceforged's emotions are temporarily removed, allowing them to act with cool dispassion and focus in any situation, and make the most logical decisions without taking into account individual emotions.
• Identify: As someone who has developed a close bond with a spirit themselves, the forged in partially connected to the spiritual realm. Not only can the forged see spirits of all kinds, but when they look upon a spirit they will recieve a fairly close, if not entirely accurate, impression of what that spirit's concept is. Please note that this is not a passive ability and must be activated by the Forged in order to work. Care should be taken not to overwhelm the senses, as spirits are everywhere in the world.
• Ice Spear: An old classic. The Iceforged can conjure a levitating spear of ice in their hand. This ice is suprisingly tough, and sharp enough to pierce through a grown man's body with ease provided it has enough momentum. The Iceforged can fire this spear in any direction to a speed of up to 6 meters per second. One ice spear can be created per trial for every five points they possess in the Order of the Forged.

Others

Never Lost Again

Prae was lost in the Call - and it was something that his Spark didn't like. Prae's Spark has shifted, changed slightly and now he finds himself just ... never lost. He always knows which way is North and - more than that - he knows where he is. If he suddenly appears in the Beneath - he'd know it was the Beneath, etc.

Staunch Ally

Prae must designate one person his "ally" - there may only ever be one ally, and who this is may only be changed once in a cycle. Then, once a trial, Prae is able to copy one skill from his ally, and also give one of his skills to that ally. Any non-Domain-Magic skill may be copied in its entirety for up to 2 hours. This does not "steal" the skill from the person who has it - but they must be willing. Equally, Prae is able to "give" one of his skills to that person only. Both parties must be willing and aware - the process takes approximately 1 minute to perform.

Framilia's Fearful Gaze

Praetorum can inflict a sense of intense dread and loss of morale on a dozen enemies within close proximity with a mere gaze. He can call upon this ability once a season. It can be resisted by those with a significant level of discipline skill.

The More the Merrier

Praetorum's Lovalus boon is a mirror of one of Rhaum Sunless's domains, realigned to fit Praetorum better.

Where Rhaum grew in strength as the number of enemies he faced increased, Praetorum's power allows him to boost the skills and abilities of the allies around him based on how many stands with him. He cannot boost a skill beyond master level.

This ability can be triggered up to six times a season, and lasts for a full trial. During this trial, whenever Prae has a group of five allies fighting the same battle with him, he is able to buff each of his allies in a skill up to a maximum of Master. Every 5 people he has with him beyond that add another person to the total that he can buff, while every fifteen contributes to a 1 skill increase, up to a total of 5 skill increases for no more than 20 people.

Sevrath's Will Deux

Similar to Sevrath's Will, the user is capable of focusing divine energy into a minor injury (abrasion, small cut/puncture, etc.) and coax the cells into healing. This ability does not weaken the character as another, more powerful healing ability would, however, the character is unable to heal major injuries. When this ability is in use, a pale green/yellow light emits from the character's skin like a mist and is focused towards the palms and fingers where it is released upon contact of another individual's flesh.

This ability can be used once per trial.

Vielkrontier's Scale

You find a single, large scale left behind by Vielkrontier. The moment Praetorum touches it, it vanishes and Prae feels his own scales harden and toughen. From that trial forward, Praetorum's armor tier is always one tier higher than it would otherwise be.

Rising Lightning

Praetorum is able to direct a bolt of lightning beneath their feet, giving them an added boost to a jump. He is able to use this ability to increase the height of their jump up to 15 meters.

Conduit

The Favored is able to send lightning flowing through any metal object they are in direct contact with. Depending on the distance and the amount of direct contact, the charge can cause anything from discomfort to numbness in the limb that was in contact with the object.

Blue Lightning

From now on, whenever Praetorum controls elemental lightning in any form, he can toggle its color, to blue.

Possessions & Housing

Combat

• The Silk Scabbard
  ► Show Spoiler

  A long strip of silk. When wrapped around the grip or handle of a weapon, and meditated on for ten bits, the weapon disappears, and a small image of that weapon appears somewhere on the silk. Afterwards, if the silk is wrapped around someone’s wrist, that person is able to summon to their hand any weapon that is stored in the Scabbard, as well as dismiss it back in. Ten weapons can be stored in the Scabbard at once, but only one can be 'drawn' at any given time, and a weapon that has been broken will unlink from the Scabbard. The silk can be cut, rendering it unusable, but as long as all the pieces are gathered up and stored together, the Scabbard will reform overnight, and regain normal function.
  • Quarterstaff [Masterwork+]
  • Halberd [Masterwork+]
  • Adamantite Glaive [Masterwork+]
  • Crossbow [Good]
• You Same Bolt?
  • Four crossbow bolts which deal extra damage by exploding on impact. This adds roughly the same damage again to them. Once they have exploded (they make a loud bang) then you find that the used bolt is safely back in your crossbow.
• Cobalt War Scythe [Masterwork] (Heirloom)
• Steel Trident [Masterwork](SP)
• Longsword [Average] *
• Quarterstaff [Masterwork+]
• Black Plate Armour [Average](SP)
• Sorelian Steel Plate Armor [Masterwork]
• Sorelian Steel Tower Shield [Tier 8, Masterwork]
• Tower Shield [Tier 8, Good] (SP)
• Round Shield [Tier 6, Good]
• Sling (Basic+)
• Leather Armour [Masterwork]
  • The weird events of the Call seem to have sort of ..oozed into your armour. Prae will find that, from this point onwards, his leather armour is now as effective as masterwork fullplate, whilst still allowing him the freedom of movement of leather.
• Buckler Shield [Tier 3, Good]
• Copperhead: A small copper figurine in the shape of a dragonling. Four times a cycle, the character can command the figurine to reshape itself into a weapon head. When activated thus, the figurine will transform into molten copper, which will flow and coat itself over any weapon head of the character's choice. The enchantment will last for one break before the item will revert to figurine form. It cannot be activated more than once on any given trial. The weapon thus coated will be quality tier 8 for the duration of the enchantment, regardless of how high or low is its quality normally.
• This bracelet works with any shield (including those granted by Taithir) and allows Prae to strengthen his shield. Twice a cycle, he can activate the bracelet and it wraps around Prae's shield, affording protection against all but revealed-level magic and making whatever shield he is carrying to be at least equivalent of a masterwork level item, or boosting the strength of it, if his shield was already masterwork.

Magical/Mystical

• Hone Grimoire
• Running Footwraps
• Domain Bag
• Coin Purse
• Ring of Reversal
• Echo Scroll (Skydas Keep)
• Echo Scroll (Ricky/Clarissa)
• A small pair of pince nez spectacles. When he wears them, he can see ghosts and communicate with them.
• Wells
  • 1 Dreamstone *
  • 5 Imedyte *(Talk to piggles before using)
• Mental Map *
  • When open, this book unfolds into a 3d paper representation of any landscape Praetorum knows. This map can be any size between a normal book and a large table. Because this book is attuned to Prae's mind, he can change the map as he desires, creating miniatures or changing the topography.
    
    The book has no predictive or divination effect of its own, and does not accurately reflect the landscape it depicts, only Praetorum's understanding of it.
• Gate-ring
  • These Gate-rings also work similar to Rupturing, allowing any individual holding them to 'blink' to a destination within 5m that they can see in exchange for one charge of the ring. The ring holds three charges, replenishing one charge every minute. The ring can also blinks all inorganic material that the individual is holding (allowing the person to blink carrying items only as large and as heavy as they can carry). *
• Bound Banners
  • A pair of rectangular cloth banners. When both are set upright, they link to each other as portals, allowing Praetorum and up to his body weight in equipment (but not other people) to enter one and come out the other instantly, no matter the distance (only applies if the two banners are in the same plane of existence). The banners will not function if torn or broken, but will repair any damage done to them over the course of a trial. Both banners can be moved at any time, but must remain still and upright to function. Praetorum can make four one way trips every trial
• Messenger Bird
  • A piece of parchment. Four times a season, you may activate this and it folds itself into a small origami bird. You speak to the bird and give it a message - it "records" that message and then flies off to find the person the message is for. The message may be no longer than 50 words (contractions count for the correct number of words) and the bird will take the required amount of time to fly to the recipient. Upon arriving, the bird speaks your message (in your voice) and then flies back. If the recipient is dead or hidden by magical / immortal means - the bird will circle overhead when you summon it and not fly in any direction.
• Homing Beacon
  • A large flagpole that can be moved with some difficulty. When placed in a settlement owned by Praetorum, anyone who spends a night in that settlement can, on the next day, teleport themselves and up to their body weight in non living items back to the beacon exactly once. If they have a mount or pet with them that has also spent a night in the settlement, they can activate this ability for that animal as well, allowing that animal to also return to the beacon with up to its body weight in items.

Animals

• Sivan - Legendary Kheledzan Mount (SP)
  • Excellent Condition
  • Excellent Training
  • Good Accessories
  • Armour [Tier 6, Good]
  • Two Heads
  • Three Pairs of Wings
• Erasmus - Zahkron Dragonling (Vielkrontier)
• Redge - Kletier Dragonet (Vielkrontier)

Immortals

• A metallic bracelet with a lightning symbol on it, given to you by Ilaren for being such a good sport about being put in harm's way. While worn, it confers to Praetorum the following two Adored level abilities from Ilaren's Palemon mark:
  • Tolerance. This is a passive that will always be in effect as long as the bracelet is worn.
    • The character's indulgence of alcohol has strengthened their disgestive system and made them less prone to suffering any ill effects. The character no longer suffers any aftereffects from the over-drinking of beers and wines, and has a slight resistance to any imbibed poisons.
  • Lightning Manipulation (Moderate). - Can be activated up to three times a trial
    • The character is able to control more lightning, and at longer distances. Their limit is extended to a distance of 100 feet before the lightning dissipates, and can be bounced up to two times, to strike a total of three targets. Capable of throwing two lightning bolts a bit. If the bolt hits it can cause lingering pains, numbness, and slight burns to any struck body parts. Those hit by the bounce effects of this ability are dealt damage as though hit by a bolt of the Minor version. Alcohol intoxication diminishes the power of this ability.
  .
• Cassion's Coin
  • A single disc marked like a chainstone. It allows Prae to use the Cassion-granted ability of Safecamp three times a season.
• Calling Coin
  • A seemingly normal coin, but with the insignia of Ilaren, three lightning bolts clutched in a fist, printed upon one side. At his time of greatest need, clutching the coin in his fist and offering a prayer to Ilaren has a chance to draw her to answer his call, and perform an act to rescue him from danger. This will only work if Ilaren is not otherwise indisposed at that moment - and Ilaren will only answer this call once, upon which time it becomes an ordinary, if pretty, coin. *
• Star of Hope
  • A single crystal star, glowing with hope. It is a single use item from Xiur which has 1 ability from his mark - it can be Adored level or below. It's single use - but you don't have to decide which ability till the moment it's used. Once the ability is used, the crystal star always glows and makes a beautiful nightlight.
• Daia's favour: The Immortal of Prosperity is impressed with Praetorum's part in this. You have 1 favour from her, should you call on her.

Survival/Healing

• Tier 7 Survival Kit(SP)
• A bone handled hunting knife *
• Spring Decanter
  • A beautiful and very delicate-looking decanter which, once a trial, will create pure, clear water. The decanter is actually very tough and will hold up to four servings. Those who drink this water will have any negative effects from tiredness, tension etc, washed away with the drink. It leaves you feeling refreshed and clear-headed. It does not, however, heal wounds etc and will not combat magical effects.
• The Very Pineapple of Usefulness.
  • A small cut-glass pineapple which would fit in the palm of your hand. When placed on the ground it functions as a campfire in terms of warmth and providing a place to cook.
• Alarm Statues

  • An ornamental doorstop-like figure. Made from what seems to be ice, it is the creature Praetorum saw (Blue Maned Scalvwing Steed). It can be placed at a perimeter or point where it acts as an alarm. When there is movement within a 40ft radius of it, Prae will hear an alarm. The alarm can only be heard by Prae and up to four other people he designates. He can remove access to hearing the alarm at any time, but can only give access twice a cycle.
  • A small toad figurine made of garishly-colored soapstone. It can be placed at a perimeter or point where it acts as an alarm. When there is movement within a 40ft radius of it, Praetorum will hear an alarm. The alarm can only be heard by Praetorum and up to four other people he designates. He can remove access to hearing the alarm at any time, but can only give access twice a cycle.
• Each crystal turtle allows you to have a home. Twice a cycle it will transform into a turtle-shell shelter (shellter). Up to four adults can comfortable shelter in the Shellter. No matter what the weather is, the Shellter is warm and comfortable and dry.
• Health Pack! Two times a season, this small box will produce enough emergency rations for up to four people for one trial. This will appear in the form of nutrition bars and clean water. The rations can be split further but this will lower the effectiveness of the rations.
• Saoire’s Sweets - A small box of your favorite chocolates / candies (10/10 total). You find yourself unable to eat more than 1 on any trial. But each one provides the following to whoever eats it for the next 6 hours: "Saoire's domain of Gifts is not merely one of physical goods, but of the happiness and joy that comes with both giving and receiving a well-meant gift. This ability allows the Blessed to give both themselves and anyone they're with a feeling of joy and good cheer, banishing negative feelings like sorrow, anger, and fear."
• Grapes of Healing
  • A small bunch of 10 grapes. Each one is wonderfully sweet - eating 1 grape will heal you of minor injuries. This is cuts and bruises, scrapes and grazes etc. If you have moderate injuries (deeper cuts etc) then it will take 3 grapes. Major injuries take 6 grapes and someone can be brought back from a critical condition with 9 grapes. Please note, though - if you gave (for example) 1 grape to someone with moderate injuries, it would do nothing. You have an all-or-nothing grape situation.
• You are given a small bag of flour. It is enough to bake 4 cakes which would feed 6 people each - basically there are 24 uses, but only if used in cooking). Anyone who eats something made with it will have any minor cuts / abrasions dealt with (minor stuff only) and will feel as refreshed as if they'd slept a full night's sleep and just woken up!
• Life-Time Supply of Beer - a flask or other convenient (and mostly indestructible container) of beer that never runs dry on beer. When you need more beer, just pour more water. Set it and forget it. This cask or container of alcohol can be shared with as many people as you wish. Great for parties!

Knick Knacks

• One piece of glowing ice. It's always cold and always glows. It also never melts.
• 1 Crystal Sculpture from your little boxes. While not magical, there is something very lovely about these and they just have a bit of a 'feel good' about them.
• A story book, entitled "The Princess of Fection" - it is the tale of a princess who traveled the world but ends up back home (in Fection.....). It tells of all the many different languages she has learned on her travels and the glorious food she ate and the many adventures she had. When you read this it imparts one languages (your choice) to your pc. This language is at Conversational level and does not count towards your Linguistics maximum number of languages. You may assume that you have the base requirements for this language and may progress it as usual if you choose to.
  • Atvian to Conversational
• A story book entitled "The Tragedy of the Magic Toad". Praetorum will find that reading his copy confers three knowledges each in Intimidation and Shield. Once he reads it, the book will simply function as an ordinary storybook for anybody else.
• Works of Darles Charwin: Evolution themed book for those who met Vielkrontier: Prae's copy (The Descent of Mortals) confers three knowledges each in Hunting and Smithing.
• A small crystal glass made from rainbow sand. It swirls constantly with different colours.
• A small statue of a woodpecker. Once a cycle it can be animated with a command word (you must include this word in your inventory / link to it and your PC chooses it now) and will then fly to the nearest piece of wood and attempt to bore a hole through it. It will stay active for 1 hour and can bore through a piece of wood approximately 4 inches (10 cm) deep and roughly the same diameter in that time. However. It is activated on use of that word the first time it is spoken in it's "earshot" each cycle. So, if someone else happens to say it, it'll fly and find the nearest piece of wood and start pecking.
• A small bird-whistle. It makes sounds like birds
• A gold coin which is most odd-looking and not a nel (it looks like a florin, OOC) - when you flip it for heads or tails -it always lands on the opposite of what was called. Always.
• A set of books, detailing great investigations and puzzles related to Scalvoris and the family LeFleur. They are a copy (so the accompanying note says) of a set of books which are entirely unique. They're detailed and rich in information. Reading them gives you +5 Knowledge and +10 XP in 1 non-magic, non-combat skill from a choice of Cryptography, Investigation, Logistics, Politics and Research.
• A feather quill. It will never need to be dipped in ink, and will change colour of ink on command, once a trial.
• A small children's puzzle made of wood and brightly coloured. It draws attention, should you be trying to solve it. People will stop what they're doing and watch you, they'll be intrigued. It isn't massively powerful (Discipline, etc, will be able to resist it) but it's very useful for de-escalating situations.

Housing

T10 Castle - Skydas Keep outside of Rharne, near the Mistral Woods.
