[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 7802537, member: 57383"] [B]Worm Lord Original Stats[/B] A Hanim named Zophiel rules over Aml. Zophiel never transfers his personality to another body, probably because his is the most efficient for his purposes. Ten valgoss have joined with Zophiel’s granting him a great many abilities. He’s a powerful wizard and priest, but generally unpleasant to be near, with all the valgoss hanging out of him, his weak and withered body (from all the lasting damage that the valgoss have inflicted), and the battered and broken [I]wings of flying[/I] that he wears on his back. Many would describe him as a withered, diseased angel. Zophiel favors the self-proclaimed title of Lord of the Worms. To further embody his title. Zophiel has created the following spells which he uses himself and has given to other casters among the Hanim. If the PCs spend enough time among these folk, perhaps they, too, can learn these spells and add them to their spellbooks (assuming that they have reached high enough levels for such magic). [CENTER]✦ SNIP ✦[/CENTER] Zophiel dislikes outsiders of any kind. He has commanded that if ever any come to his people that they be brought before him. He never leaves the floating city, and can usually be found in his abode—the central and largest tent in the city. If some newcomers approach the him seeking aid, advice, information, or anything else, he’ll most likely refuse at first, demanding proof that they are not actually part of one of the rival tribes. This, however, isn’t hard to prove if it’s true. Any Hanim can recognize non-Hanim mannerisms (such as humor, overt generosity, unnecessary cruelty, showing signs of weakness, ignorance of Maelost, or the like) fairly quickly. Still, nothing in Maelost is free. Zophiel demands something worthwhile as payment for whatever the newcomers might ask. No Hanim has any interest in money, jewels, or other conventional sorts of valuables. Useful magical items or well-crafted, useful normal items (particularly those made of wood) have value to Zophiel (and his people as well), but nothing on Maelost has more value than action.
