EDSG Episode 167 - Nemesis and Chantrel's Horror
* Our Named Horrors series continues!
* Revealing how Dan chose the order we’re going through these.
* We return to the wonderful and unique aspects of the Horrors sourcebook.
* Nemesis: Master of metamorphosis and deception.
* Always appears a beautiful, attractive human with bright eyes.
* No record of its natural form; like Deceivers in its mutability.
* Astral form has dozens if not hundreds of dark tendrils
extending out into astral space.
* Bestows knowledge and magic items to adepts to slay other
Horrors.
* Slaver in league with Thera after the Scourge, has multiple strongholds
across Barsaive.
* The rich and powerful who attend its events to wallow in
debauchery.
* Highly charming like Ysrthgrathe but lacks the toxic jealousy.
* Its gifts to adepts is how it marks and corrupts them.
* Ironic fates; the gifts given to save others seal the heroes’
doom.
* Classic “deal with the devil” style of story.
* Unique powers: Horror Lore, Transport
* Powerful magician, multiple spell actions in ED1, Wizard
spells.
* Perhaps the physically weakest Named Horror, but its network
and powers make it difficult to pin down.
* Story hooks or roles for Nemesis in campaigns.
* Chantrel’s Horror: One of three Named Horrors from the original
Earthdawn core book.
* Only seen astrally; Bloody, demonic humanoid suspended in a
metal frame covered in small saw blades.
* Attacks the family and close friends of its chosen victim.
* Known as Chantrel’s Horror because of its connection to the
Troubadour Chantrel; real name not known.
* Clive Barker homage.
* Has the ability to bring its chosen victim back to life; even
death is not enough to be free of its torment.
* May go dormant for years to let the victim think they might be
free, then will return to inflict its torments again.
* Unique powers: Astral Slice, Blood Memory
* It can mark those closest to its chosen victim regardless of
distance, based on how closely they are related.
* Like Ysrthgrathe, loves extended torment, but feels coldly
alien as opposed to Y’s strongly “human” personality.
* Chantrel’s Horror in adventures in campaigns.
