I may have to start some kind of Strolenati support group. We will meet on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at the local "Y" and discuss these deep personal issues. Go to Comment

Gruesome, very gruesome. I approve Go to Comment

I got tired of looking at this in my unfinished folder...  Go to Comment

Fixed and fixed... the anadem is a crown also detailed as garland or a wreath worn around the "crown" of the head... So it is a band worn on the head. And the voice of said narrator may be seen in the future for another item/NPC etc. Go to Comment

Dark Unicorns can fill in that void. Go to Comment

Well, I think this is a really detailed description of a crown/ring/staff/*item*/etc of undead control. The voice of the misery-stricken narrator certainly adds to the pervasively gruesome atmosphere.



The most interesting part is the ambiguous 'soul-binding' between the undead and the sacrificed child. This 'unknown and untested' link is fascinating because it can potentially be used to "interfere" with the control by the main-crown wearer.

Imagine an undead almost completely controlled by a necromancer, yet at the same time, invaded by the thoughts and intelligence(?) of a child.

In this sentence, you need to add, "to believe" after "leads me"...

<i>The fact that he has given me these items and they are far from perfect
leads me that these crowns will be for a dark and nefarious purpose
hence the need for them to be vile</i>

Hi, I'm Muro, and I love vile and disturbing undead thingies.

Group: Hi Muro. Don't be afraid to share your feelings here...tell us of your recent progress.

Me: Well, I've been trying hard. Real hard. Yesterday i almost wrote out a bile-dripping, brain-sucking, amniotic fluid-producing creature. Then I caught myself, and read a book on Unicorns and the fairy elves who ride them instead. Every day is a battle.

I have an image to go with it. I'll try to link it tonight. I thought of the questions you asked about but due to time and the formatting messing up on me I forgot to add them. I'll fix it tonight. Go to Comment

Updated with a small bit of information per Dosstas' suggestions. And here is a link to an image that inspired said thought. Although the skull in the image rests on what seems to be a golden goblet, the Moira Chalice of Kormak rests on a similar base although it is made of blackened bone.

Moira was known as the three fates... possible more items coming soon to maybe make a trio of fateful necromantic items.

Sorry can't help myself...

"Kalima, KAH-LEE-MAAAAH!!!"

"Indy!"

"I'm coming Shorty!"

Love it. Creepy, eldritch and necromantic! Makes you want to take a quick shower. Of course the image helps as well! One question. Why Moira? What does it signify? Why is this dread chalice of doom, named after an irish lass?

Cool. I learned something new. Go to Comment

A dark piece. I like the way you've added a paragraphs of what I think are eyewitness accounts.

Well done Mourn.

You're really taking this necromancy thing to a new level Mourn -- lots of great subs from you lately. This one was particularly squicky. I loved the imagery you used for the chalice, with the tongue being used as a spout. I was wondering about the liquid within, though. Is it replenishable, or is there a set amount that was created at the same time as the Chalice? If you can make more, I assume that it's poured through the hole in the top of the head. But how do they keep the rest of the liquid from spilling out of the mouth? Can Kormak command the mouth to open and close at will? (If so, ewwwww). Oh, and can the chalice rest upright on that bone, or is there a base of some kind? Go to Comment

Man. Could only think how bad that would really suck.

And this only goes to prove that Mourn is a closet Dwarf lover that won't admit it. That is what it tells me axle. It could count as a Necro for the post and Dwarf Guild points for comments and upvotes. :) Go to Comment

Ewwww, so gross!

Being undead, could a dwarf dunk his beard in Holy Water to be rid of these vile pests? And are they limited to dwarven beards? Can they infest other races? Go to Comment
