Nephandi |
"You owe me your living, Strew my path with furs,
That I may tread barefoot through your soul, Carve a throne of black obsidian in your
heart That I might be seated in the midst of your desires. I will take your gold rings, your silver
chains Your crowns, your crosses....Your Soul. The pain and damnation shall consume you,
'fore I take your soul..of course, I can offer your reprieve, for a price.
Swim with the firstborn, embrace the dark. Enter the madness."
Clerics draw their powers from gods both devout, indifferent and malign.
Magi draw their power from the ethereal bonds between all life and matter.
The Nephandi draw their powers from the Void that lies within the heart of men.
They serve Infernal masters who condemn this world to ruin and waste. The
Darkness of the Void swirled before the sun burned bright and will continue to
swirl once the Sun is extinguished. The demons and the devils of the Void
thirst for the end of Light. Their servants the Nephandi seek to hasten the
End Times through the spread of depravity, temptation and corruption. Nephandi who renounce their
Infernal Master renounce the source of their power. They possess only the base skill of a
hedge magician and are too poorly skilled to defend themselves solely with the martial arts.
Few Nephandi renounce the Path of Screams and maintain their evil alignment through the
slaughter and corruption of innocence.
The Nephandi relies mainly on wits and intelligence to deal with the Infernal. Failing this,
the Nephandi must be prepared to deal in deceit or flee, hence a propensity to be dexterous.
Forsaking the powers of the Gods and receiving little unsolicited aid from their Masters, Nephandi
tend to be unlucky.
Nephandi are debauched members of the Human, Pixie, Gith and Drow race.
The Nephandi were introduced to the Realms through Jade. Through a twisted
pact with an unknown Power, their abilities have been altered and magnified. |
