OMENSWORN: TALENTS & FEATURES:
ORENDA: A TALE OF HOPE AND SHADOWIn the echoes of ancient songs, a shadow stirs, a darkness that slumbers yet hungers, lurking beyond the boundaries of mortal comprehension. It is a malevolence shrouded in mystery, its name forgotten by the tongues of men, yet its presence palpable in the chill winds that sweep through the lands.
For in the distant north, where the jagged peaks kiss the heavens and the icy winds howl with a mournful lament, lies the source of this encroaching darkness. There, amidst the frozen wastes and barren tundras, a relic of an age long past lies dormant, its malevolent power bound by ancient magics and forgotten incantations. But even as the ages turn and the memories of old fade into myth and legend, the darkness stirs once more, its restless slumber disturbed by whispers carried on the icy breath of the north wind. And in the heart of Orenda, where the threads of destiny weave their intricate tapestry, the elder races sense the looming threat and call upon the mortal races to prepare for the coming storm. From the ancient halls of the dwarven kingdoms to the hidden glades of the elven realms, the call echoes across the land, summoning heroes and champions to stand against the encroaching darkness. For though the shadows may grow long and the night may seem unending, there is still hope to be found amidst the gathering gloom. And so, as the sun sets on the horizon and the stars begin to dance in the night sky, the stage is set for a new chapter in the saga of Orenda. A tale of courage and sacrifice, of heroes rising to meet the darkness that threatens to consume the world. And as the forces of light and shadow clash in a struggle as old as time itself, the fate of Orenda hangs in the balance, waiting to be decided by the actions of those brave enough to face the coming storm.
The Hungering Bracer of Rhivan: By Nadija"Escape, my lords, is all I ask; Respite from my husband’s ire. When morning comes, should I remain, My fate lies within the pyre.”
This, the pleading of witch Rhivan while locked within her chamber, made to the beings dark and fel who always sought to claim her. As the witching hour descended, reality distorted, and from the tattered veil came forth the dreadlord she’d cavorted. “Your despair has drawn me to thee, And I do not doubt thy need; But anything of this power, Witch, requires someone bleed. For you I’ll craft a piece to hide Yourself from all mortal sight As if the morning never came, And you walked in deepest night.” Her mortal fear won in the end, and she let him break her soul. He shattered deep all that she was, and took some for his control. And thus was her unholy pact; she witnessed his creation of a twisted piece of jewelry that could be her salvation. Folding her hunger, hate, and pain betwixt the sheets of felsteel, he mounted there an amethyst with the power to conceal. “This bracer I now give to you, Must be used just sparingly, For should you deplete its power, It shall seek it soon from thee.” The demon then departed her, and left her to her own fate. Now armed with enshrouding power, she would put it on and wait. And when the morning finally broke, husband came for wicked bride. But when opened up her door, horror greeted him inside. For such power drew upon her, and deep drank the greedy stone; the witch escaped her funeral pyre to become but skin and bone. Her soul was but the starting price; all which hungers has to feed. For anything of such power will require someone to bleed.
