Relics of the Dead Age.
*Relics are objects that have absorbed personality, tragedy, raw emotion, and other extremes from mortal and divine life. They gain power from those who once held them and are a major source of power among those evading the Astarte forces. *
Relic Name: The Steel Scorpion
Type: Misc.
Origin Class: Idols of the Thralls.
Appearance: This scorpion is made of blades hammered until they welded together. The pieces have been beaten from cold metal into the rough, warped shape of a scorpion. Its stance seems to shift whenever unobserved, and it feels as if it changes where it was last left. It feels like papers have been ruffled, but barely enough to notice that places are slightly off, as if someone searched there and placed things back almost perfectly. It feels ice-cold to the touch, and it drives shivers down your spine. It is a symbol of Sol the Broken, demon lord of Fear.
Phenomenal Traits:
Frightful Flight: When channeling this relic, the body loses mass and thins; it feels as if bones narrow and lengthen, making one long-limbed and strangely graceful. You are unnaturally swift, easy to spook, a prey animal in a foreign place and alien with warped features meant to make you something of speed.
Terror Burst: When you inflict pain or death on another, it resonates from the target as psionic trauma, causing the sensation of wounds and death itself to spread across your enemy, spreading terror and causing your enemies to break ranks far earlier than normal.
Comfort and Terror: The scorpion is safety, the scorpion is your friend, and the scorpion protects you. You can never abandon it as it will never abandon you. You hear Sol whisper sweet warnings of all that might be out to get you. Every plotting friend, every vicious enemy, and every self-loathing fool. You are vulnerable to demons of fear and must make an incredible act of will to relinquish this relic.
