Lefort, 6 Medieval-Gonzo Plants

Image
1. Adamic Plum Within Shiver, on the neighboring mountain to Zahir's pear tree , grows the adamic plums. Light-yellow plums grow on the surface in lush fields of vibrant tall grass. Uprooting the plums' plant reveals roots in the shape of an elderly man. When the roots are exposed to the cold air of Shiver they speak out of the elderly man's mouth: 1. The words of a random scroll! Which, if quickly written down on parchment, can be cast as a scroll.  2. A poem! An arrangement of words never before spoken. Listeners gain permanent +1 WIS. 3. The True Name! Of: 1. Adom 2. A demon king 3. A ruler 4. An assassin. 4. "Filth!" Yellow gas slowly spews out of the elderly man's mouth. After a minute the gas becomes Cloudkill.  2.

Kingsfeather cults exist in the slums of Babilan, but the...

Lefort, 6 Medieval-Gonzo Holidays

Image
The people of Lefort keep track of the year by the seasons. Each season -- Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring -- has 91 days. Between Winter and Spring is the Lost Day, the 365th day of the year, also known as the mark of the New Year. Poems tell of a battle between Madeera and Memnon, where Madeera sacrificed the 365th day to bring order to the rest of the seasons. 1. Midsummer Villagers celebrating Midsummer in the village of Harmony The 45th day of Summer. A secular celebration of light, warmth, and love.

For the past few years Mids...

Lefort, 6 Medieval-Gonzo Demon Kings

All of these demons  possess an animal or a person, and have a true form that’s intangible and invisible, present only after their host has been killed. Their true form can only be seen by magic-users with wizard vision , and can't be killed or affect reality without possessing another host.  1. The False Orc, Boar Priest, The Camel King, King Swinniginn, The Old God of Adversity A diminutive orc mockingly donning the arch priestess of St. Terragnis' robes. The False Orc mimics the posture of a priest, satirically spewing blasphemy against the Shadowdark Gods as he wanders across Boar Valley. He rides atop a camel covered in thick dust, flora invasively sprouting from underneath its hooves. Bestows bad luck on his followers' enemies.
