[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 6697692, member: 2209"] [b]Talislanta Menagerie[/b] Talislanta Menagerie 3.0 [b]Black Savant:[/b] Alien in appearance and outward demeanor, the true nature of the Black Savants remain, in large part, a mystery. [b]Disembodied Spirit:[/b] These spectral entities are the spiritforms of deceased creatures and beings who, for one reason or another, have become lost or stranded en route to their next incarnation. Some, having met a particularly violent or unjust end, refuse to move on to their next life until they have been avenged. Others were the victims of miscast spells, abortive attempts at astral travel, or other unfortunate circumstances. [b]Ebonite:[/b] Like shadowights and other spiritforms, Ebonites were once living beings. Once passing from the lands of the living, their spirits made the long voyage to the Underworld. However, something about them drew the attention of Death. Great infamy or acts of heroism, no one can say for sure what will draw Death’s baleful eye. Some sorcerers petition for this state in order to continue their magical studies beyond death, while some heroes offer themselves to Death’s service in exchange for a loved one being returned to life. However it happens, those taken by Death are consigned to spend eternity as spectres, and to dwell in the ancient city of Ebon. [b]Fetch Juju:[/b] Another type of fetch is the juju, a mindless servant made from a reanimated corpse. In this case the fetch is imprisoned within a body, [b]Mirajan:[/b] A mirajan is a type of spiritform found only among the arid lands of Raj, Djaffa, and Carantheum. The Djaffir tribes refer to these specters as “Phantoms of the Desert” and believe that they are the spirits of Rajan necromancers who have come back to torment the living. Others attribute sightings of mirajans to hallucination, heat exhaustion, or the malevolent pranks of sand demons. [b]Necrophage:[/b] Necrophages are humanoid entities that hail from the darkest depths of the Underworld. [b]Reincarnator:[/b] Reincarnators are the spiritforms of Torquaran wizards, members of a cabal of black magicians who once ruled a dark empire that spanned much of the continent of Talislanta. The Torquarans struck an unholy pact with the arch-devil Zahur, who used an ancient incantation to turn them into reincarnators: malign spirits cloaked in an aura that renders them untouchable by Death. [b]Shadowform:[/b] A creature whose Constitution score has been reduced to 0 by a shadowcat’s energy drain attack rises as a shadowform in 1d4 rounds. Victims who have been drained of all their physical substance by a shadowcat become shadowforms. A creature whose Constitution score has been reduced to 0 by a shadowight’s energy drain attack rises as a shadowform in 1d4 rounds. A creature whose Constitution score has been reduced to 0 by a shadow wizard’s energy drain attack rises as a shadowform in 1d4 rounds. [b]Shadowcat:[/b] These shadowy creatures are believed to be the spectral forms of an extinct species of felines once native to the Talislantan continent. [b]Shadow Dragon:[/b] Shadow dragons are the spirits of ancient dragons that chose or were chosen to serve Death. [b]Shadowight:[/b] Shadowights are the spiritforms of deceased persons sentenced to spend eternity as specters. [b]Shadow Wizard:[/b] Shadow wizards are the spiritforms of deceased magicians from various dimensions, worlds, and eras. [/QUOTE]
