Writing Worlds with Words

Gods of Ithia: Harrotox the Craven Raven.

Harrotox. Demi-God of Tragedy, Puppet Shows, Tableau, Comedic Cowardice, and Chase Music.  

Known as Harrotox, The Craven Raven, The Fleeing, The Sick Omen, The Raven Mask, The Feathered Dancer, and The Puppeteer.  

Harrotox third of the Drei’Lo’Chi has scales of a sickly grey black, ashy, dull, and patchy with visible necrotic skin. His great wings have been twisted and transformed into great black feathered raven wings, and he wears a massive raven-beaked masquerade mask. Trinkets and puppets hang off his wings to dance about, strangely animated. He sometimes takes elven form, one arm completely necrotic, his robes made of layered black feathers, and avian bones form a crown. He wears a cloak of hair, puppets, and bells that jingle and emit an ethereal, giggling with every step.  

The Craven Raven is careful, cunning, and indirect. He acts through proxies, manipulating, controlling, and twisting everything around him like some great, terrible puppeteer. He is sickly and no longer able to compete physically with even younger dragons. He will always avoid direct confrontation, but the magic he wields allows him to indirectly dominate conflicts of will. The Craven Raven is the most powerful arcanist of the Drei’Lo’Chi, and his dread sorcerous powers stand equal to the magics of most of the Viar’Ru’Het.
