![]() ![]() Unlike the more monstrous creations of Necris, those turned by Khorrt choose this path willingly and retain their own autonomy. The result is the “evernight breath,” which allows Khorrt to offer vampirism to a willing victim. In the Twilight Kingdom, Khorrt experiments with the stolen secrets of Necris and combines the dark necromantic magic that created original vampires with his own incantations. Rumor of the vampires’ existence begins to spread across the lands and a deep fear takes root. Their ability to not only feed upon mortals, but to turn them into vampires as well begins to increase the overall strength of Necris through the realms of Elderon. These creatures begin to stalk the night and soon become his strongest minions. There are soulless, however, and bound to the will of Necris. These creations of Necris are monstrous in their lust for the blood of the living, and far more physically strong that the average mortal. In this way, the Ilvastu extend their reach in Mythren and establish themselves as the titans they are believed to be by the denizens of the lands. Carrying the spark of their maker, the vastrals assume similar traits and powers. The creations are vastly different in their appearance and personality, but their loyalty to their creators is unwavering. Each Ilvastu is able to create no more than twelve servants without diminishing their own lifeforce. With each individual sharing their deathless magic upon selected animals, they hope the result yields tremendously powerful creations, but far less likely to exhibit the desire for conquest.Ĭalled the vastrals, these animals are transformed into humanoid creatures, blessed with keen understanding, strength, magic, and immortality. It is decided that each of the Ilvastu would create their own, personal vastrals. Their bodies are consumed by the enchanted water and left behind at the bottom of the pool is the last totem of their combined power: a small metallic disc whose shape is the curve of the Laughing Moon encased within the outline of the sun’s corona.Īfter the capture of the Tigress, the twelve realize that combining their magic in such a way upon a single creature produced a far more powerful result than they had intended. Their physical death sends powerful tremors throughout the interconnected worlds and shatter long-held wards upon those portals. Together they swim to the center of the Moon Pool where their bodies intertwine in a blinding beacon of light. Through the reflective surface they gaze beyond the physical veil of known reality and into the Dreamscape, a place where magic and dreams open gateways to countless other worlds. ![]() Weakened and withered, the Mother and Father meet at a secret pool of water whose glassy surface once captured the first light of the Laughing Moon. Without the faith of their followers, the First Gods, referred to in ancient mythology as Mother Moon and Father Sun, begin to diminish and die. Cities rise and dependence upon favors from on-high begins at last to fade. As the mortal races of Mythren begin to thrive on their own without the direction of higher powers, their cultures look away from long-held superstitious beliefs. ![]()
