* Our last Horrors episode: Verjigorm

* The “Big One”, the “Hunter of Great Dragons”, Earthdawn’s

* One of three Named Horrors from the original core rulebook.

* Entry is very similar to the entry in the Dragons sourcebook.

* The “Dark One”, at the beginning, spawned the “Horoi”

* One Horoi – Nightstlayer – left the darkness and woke on

* Josh speculates how this creation myth might reflect events in

* Not necessarily intended to be a foe to face directly; like

* Early stats were likely a way to impress how powerful it is.

* Summary of game statistics and powers.

* Not very active in most recent Scourge, but looms very large

* Use and presence of Verjigorm in games – Cult of the Great

* Getting involved with this Horror will likely draw the attention

* Obsessions: Hunger for power, fanatical hatred of dragons.

* Captured numerous dragons during the last Scourge.

* This prey is wrapped in astral cocoons that warp them into

* Verjigorm’s spawn as a campaign focus and epic opponent.

* Exploring Verjigorm’s Horror Thread power.

* Lovecraft parallels and cosmic nihilism.

* More than just a giant sack of hit points.

* Most common appearance.

* Closing thoughts.

* Our penultimate episode about Named Horrors!

* Aazhvat Many-Eyes: Lovecraftian mind-screw.

* Purely astral Horror

* The Eurydon Document: Includes sections in an unknown, untranslated language that some suspect may be the native language of the Horrors.

* Plays into Lovecraftian themes of books containing forbidden, mind-breaking knowledge.

* Inspires madness by warping its victims’ perceptions to see the Horror’s eyes in any circular or oblong object.

* Curses an item that acts as a conduit for the initial Horror Mark.

* Story twist at the end of the in-setting entry (and an old pop-culture connection).

* Very difficult to break the mark – if the cursed item is not destroyed, the Horror can renew the mark regardless of distance.

* Horror Drain power.

* Combating Aazhvat Many-Eyes: Comparatively low physical stats, but high magical power and advantages of its astral habitat.

* Surreal and mind-warping.

* Film recommendation: John Carpenter’s “In the Mouth of Madness”

* Adventure and campaign potential for the Horror.

* Good Horror to mark player characters because it doesn’t undermine or cripple their abilities.

* The Tempter: Offering its victims their own rope.

* Second-smallest Horror; a thorny seed pod.

* Very difficult to physically deal with.

* Seeks to corrupt those with strong moral codes.

* Marks target and start offering to help them achieve their ends through its Karma Boost.

* Very patient, works to steer the victim to betray their ideals or those they are close to.

* Its powers gradually warp the victim into a Horror construct.

* Not physically potent (though it is very difficult to physically harm).

* Leaves a trail of constructs in its wake which provides a physical challenge.

* Another Horror that could be good to use directly against player characters.

* Cautions about the Horror’s power, and the chance for the character to be lost.

* Fourth edition tweaks to the Karma Boost and the Corruption mechanic.

* Voice whispering in the victim’s ear; like a devil on the shoulder.

* Adventure and campaign ideas using Tempter.
