Message: <blockquote data-quote="Voadam" data-source="post: 3339751" data-attributes="member: 2209">Voadam turns to the goblin. "You caught that I healed him with mine?" Voadam glances up and sees the line of sight through the window to where the goblin must have been watching from and nods. "Good eyes.""My wand was something I acquired from the church of Johan when I was in Althora. It can heal people but the same power that heals the living also harms the walking dead.The demon lord who Traven swore by is named Xiphid. He was once a power that in ancient times conquered the world and placed the mortal races into an age of darkness. He was overcome by mortal heroes who managed to bind him and imprison him through great magics and he was not heard of for ages.A renegade of my order, Demmin Nass the Black, delved into dark magics and secretly created a demon cult to revive Xiphid. When Nass began slaughtering villages to create his undead servants I and my order captured him, not knowing about his cult we thought him merely a mass murdering necromancer. We knew he had learned soul magic so that death would free his spirit to itself return elsewhere as an undead wizard so we imprisoned him without access to his magics where he would have rotted. However his cult was able to free him and when next I tracked him down he managed to catch me in a trap so I watched as his plans to revive and bind an Aspect of Xiphid to his service came to fruition. An Aspect is only a portion of the lord's true might, but quickly the demon was trying to manipulate events to free himself and return to his full power instead of being bound to a mortal man's service. This included dealing with me to place a thorn in the side of Nass. A bound fiend must obey the commands of its binder, but smart ones find ways to betray their masters and serve their own ends while following their commands. You cannot trust a true fiend.In any case I managed to escape and began to rally forces against Nass, Xiphid, and the mortal forces they were gathering to their cause. The Church of the god Johan was one I allied with and I asked for this wand both to heal the living as I worked against the demon, but also to have a weapon against the spirit dead servitors that Nass created. I can use certain forms of divine magic, including wands such as this that heal. Without it, Nass' spectral manavore would have finished me off the last time I fought Xiphid and the horde of Nass' undead creations he was commanding.Demonic magic is usually Chaotic and destructive though. Healing seems an odd effect for a demon queen's "segment". That is why I'm worried about the lady Arquesta. I want to make sure the wand does not leave behind a curse of chaos when it heals. It could just be a demonic cult item they chose to invest with divine healing the same way a cleric of a good or evil god could, but I want to see the effects of its healing with my own eyes."</blockquote>
