[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 6306164, member: 11697"] You'll find out. :) We'll also be seeing almost all of those that you named again in the future - only Yethmiil Kal'suth doesn't show up again. Alashra the Dream Reaver - overtly female rather than the standard genderless appearance of most of her kindred. Exceptionally elongated, withered arms and legs, with a purple-black mottling across her flesh. Exceptionally long, purple tentacle-like tongue that tastes the air like a serpent. A low fog tends to surround her, actually composed of a thin, misty ethereal protomatter. Eyes entirely composed of a milky, brilliantly luminous white sclera like full moons. Tangled long black hair. A very vague similarity to night hags might be noted, and she may or may not have had a role in the creation of that race from selected hordelings in the Waste. Infected/Harbored within Larsdana ap Neut the First Majestrix of the Furnace, Scribe of the General, and architect of the Tower of the Arcanaloths. The Ineffable - no distinct physical form. Its presence lurks in its surroundings, manifesting out of them. Imagine a flight of nycaloths overheard, and then out of the negative space between their shadows cast upon the ground, those spaces start moving, crawling up from the ground, flowing together like droplets of tainted water and the vague form of a baernaloth emerges out of that. It's never seen in full light, and ambient light sources will snuff or dim to prevent a full examination of its form. More often it manifests within the warped reflections of others in water, mirrors, or polished surfaces, moving on its own accord rather than their motions. The Shackler - most often manifests as a possessing force rather than with a distinct physical form - in these cases the possessed individual is followed by a subtle clatter of dragging, trailing chains including leaving tracks on the ground to show the passage of those immaterial chains. They may also later manifest heavy bruises in the shape of manacles on the wrists, ankles, and a collar around the neck. The actual Shackler itself is half again as large as most of its kindred, and wears heavy iron manacles on its wrists and ankles, all of which trail multiple broken lengths of heavy chains (sometimes silver, sometimes cold iron, sometimes golden). Some manifestations of the Shackler have a long train -almost like a tail- composed of meters long lengths of chain woven through or otherwise anchored into its spinal column - all of which move as if they were a living part of it.
