Gloamspun Run

Tale of Artistry

Your kind were the original owners of the land. In the days of old, people would seek your permission before breaking ground or tilling a field.

Homeward Mound: You have an underground sidhe accessible via an anthill or otherwise similar mount of dirt. It has an entrance to a location in the Coils.

Underground Riches: Once a scene, you can reach into the earth and dig up a precious item up to the size of your palm, such as a jewel or rare root plant.

For you, the Wood is a place where the community comes together. It is where you test your mettle and gain an understanding of nature. You’re used to organizing events and volunteer efforts, and a natural leader especially for the youth.

The Scout Troop: You can designate a group of people to be your Troop. You gain a Mentorship Connection towards them as a collective.

Let’s Regroup Here: You can designate a site in nature, such as a forest clearing, as your campsite. Members of your Troop can always find their way back to it no matter how lost they are, and violent action cannot be attempted while inside.

Set Up for the Night: When in nature, you can always find the adequate materials to build improvised shelter. Anything you put up is always just big enough to fit everyone in your Troop.

Stick Together: You instinctively know where each member of your Troop is at all times and if they're in danger, even when they are miles away.

Across the Mountains: You can lead your Troop in a single-file line, even through dangerous territory such as a cliff path. External attempts to break your formation are cursed, and anyone in your formation is blessed on roles to avoid harm.

Ever-Ready, Always Prepared: You always have survival supplies in your backpack, and once a scene can find something unusual that is immediately helpful to the current scenario.

Cleanup Drive: Once a scene, you can lead your Troop to carry out an effort that helps the local community, such as distributing food or cleaning up trash. All tests made as part of this effort are blessed.

On Your Sash: Once a scene, you can award a badge to someone for their efforts. They are blessed on all Heart rolls for the rest of the scene. If this person is part of your Troop when you give them their badge, they gain a Loyalty Connection to you.

Tale of Mischief

With gangly limbs and the head of a horse, you're a wild trickster inhabiting clumps of bamboo deep in the forest.

Lose Your Way: You can alter a target's perception of space so that they become hopelessly lost in whatever area they are in, provided it is not one they are extremely familiar with such as their own home. The target can break free with a successful Wits roll against your Heart.

Wedding of Tricksters: Once a scene, you can turn the weather to rainy when it is sunny and vice versa for (Heart roll) minutes.

Tale of Malediction

You were beloved once, but now you are cursed. Both hideous monster and beautiful being melded into one form, you have nothing but bitter regret for the life and love you have lost. Like Medusa, you have snake hair and scaled skin, and the sight of you turns others to stone.

Snake-Souled: You have snake hair that makes you blessed at noticing things and you cannot be surprised.

Stone Gaze: For every round someone is facing in your direction, one of their limbs turns to stone. Once five limbs have turned, the rest of the body is followed, rendering them into a statue that requires a quest or other time-reweaving magics to reverse.

Nightmare

Tale of Terror

Mares of old have always trod upon the dreams of others. Some say demon, some say incubi, but your roots fall back to old Nordic tales of great red horses that appear in the dreams of heroes, representing blood, fear, and great strife. You are one of these blood-colored steeds; a great beast unafraid of the Vale, and willing to go head to head with the Wild Hunt.

Dream Rider: You may enter the dreams of anyone you have seen in the last day, either dreaming into them directly while sleeping or physically walking to them via hidden trails in the Vale of Nightmares. If you choose the physical route, you may lead others into these dreams with you.

Wild Steed: You are a true Nightmare, and are unafraid of the Vale. You ignore the first [Heart] applications of Heartvenom in a session and have training in a Feral fighting style.
