[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8235405, member: 6802378"] Isn't [URL='https://www.fraternityofshadows.com/wiki/The_Apparatus']"the Apparatus"[/URL] in the capital of Mordent? This artifact could be wished by different factions, causing serious conflicts and troubles. What if a copycat is created, and the result is two clones with opposite aligment or both become archenemies? Or the evil twin is cursed and he wants to control or possees the other as a parasite within a "host". The tragicomic part is the good twin could be the key for the end of the curse but the evil twin betrays himself with he tries to avoid his twin's goals. Or the dark powers could create "good twins" as nemesis of evil characters because these hate being compared with somebody better than them ("you should study more as your cousin who enjoys better grades in the exams" or "I had to married him and not you, because he is making more money now"). Envy also can be used for a subtle psychological torture. When I think in ghosts I can't avoid the hard influence of rich mythology by White Wolf/Onyx Path with titles as Wraith: the Oblivion. Sometimes I also wonder about the "Hamlet's effect". What had happened if Hamlet's ghost father hadn't revealed the truth about his death? Mmmmm, Mordent would be perfect for a crossover with the franchise of Ghostbusters..(I am only kidding!). [IMG]https://d13ezvd6yrslxm.cloudfront.net/wp/wp-content/images/zz34348110.jpg[/IMG] One of my ideas is a variant of the revenants, this is not an undead, and then they aren't affected by the divine spellcasters in the same way, but they are a different subtype, (dark) faes or (dread) elementals(grave, pyre, mist and blood). An animated earth figures with some skull, bones and pieces of tombstones (or obelisk with funerary runes) may be a softer version to remplace walking undead with a too gore look.
