The Cycle won't break...

Abraxas Hillrunner (he/him) - His name isn’t the only thing about him that’s sick as hell. This werewolf is a powerful druid, a fighter of great skill, and a gourmet chef. Likes: thick men, dragon murder, protecting nature by any means necessary >:) Dislikes: heat, cities, rigid rules.

Andromeda (she/her) - A goofy, child-like human oracle of REDACTED, born and raised in the Hoarwood Forest of Irrisen. Likes: drinking blood, shapeshifting, draining enemies of their lifeforce uwu. Dislikes: overly serious people.

Bayani Mavros (he/him) - Our resident himbo, an oread kineticist with memory loss, he’s still a mystery to us all. Likes: taking care of children, working out, you know... ;) Dislikes: prying into his past, death :(

Buwan (he/him) - Smart, thoughtful, hiding a dark past and a darker power, he’s a half-elf summoner with a gigantic psychopomp bunny wearing an Orville Peck mask for an Eidolon. What’s not to love? Likes: death positivity, reading and learning, good manners. Dislikes: absurdity.

Menet Serbanea (she/her) - A commie Varisian hailing from Osirion, with big biceps and a bigger heart, Menet is a human paladin of Khepri, and follows only her scarab-God’s law. And he hath commanded: ACAB, eat the rich, and keep that clown nose firmly upon thy face. Likes: funny people, studying all sorts of martial arts, revelry. Dislikes: nobility, greed.

Odessa Grenadé (she/her) - A suave ladykiller with a sentient teddybear friend named Jim, a gun that she inherited from her father, and an abundance of secrets. Likes: sliding over cars while she shoots, drinking, carousing, merrymaking. Dislikes: being confronted.

Pippa Locksley (she/her) - Robin Hood but with way more swag and a slicker tongue, our luxury-loving rogue-sorcerer often takes the lead in our diplomatic ventures. Oh yeah, and she has a Sphynx cat familiar that shares her face named Argentea. No big deal. Likes: redistribution of wealth (after she gets her cut, of course), good food and fluffy beds, Calisitrian decadence ;) Dislikes: dirt, discomfort, rudeness.

Each of the Four Pharaohs received a personal gift, each of which had a hidden backdoor which left it vulnerable to the alien intelligences which gave them to the humans. These backdoors are not detectable by magic weaker than analyze dweomer or legend lore.

Torc of Subjugation

A gift for the Fiend Pharaoh, this metal collar grants a +10 eldritch bonus on Charisma checks for binding outsiders. It also allows the wearer to control weak-willed living creatures as if they were mindless undead. This may only affect living, corporeal creatures with Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores all 8 or less. Whenever they cast command undead (as a spell or as a spell-like ability), they may choose to target such a living creature rather than an undead creature. A living creature so targeted receives a Will save to negate the effect (DC 25). This control lasts for 1 day/caster level, minimum 11 days. Three times per day, as a standard action, the wearer may cast command undead.

Backdoor: The giver of the Torc or any agent it designates may seize control of any creatures controlled via the Torc.

Dunesailer

A gift for the Cerulean Pharaoh, the Dunesailer is an ordinary-looking sailing ship which can travel through deserts or beaches as if they were calm open sea. It can also steer itself and change its rigging without any crew, and an owner properly bonded to it may direct it or scry on it (as scrying) from any distance (though not across planar boundaries), at will. It is also linked to the Compass of Shotep-Kara. Bonding to the Dunesailer requires a DC 15 Knowledge(arcana) check followed by a DC 15 Knowledge(geography) check and a 10-minute ritual.

Backdoor: The giver of the Dunesailer may scry on the ship or its bonded owner at will, and may direct it if there is no current bonded owner.

Raiment of Fealty

A gift for the notoriously vain Radiant Pharaoh, this robe makes its wearer's power and authority nigh-unquestionable. While wearing it, the Raiment's owner gains frightful presence (Su) with a Will DC of 30 and a range of 100 ft. Additionally, it grants all clothing and items the wearer is wearing the self-healing, self-cleaning, and minor shapeshifting benefits of living garments, with the superficial effects also extending to the wearer's person. This grants a +8 competence bonus on Diplomacy and Intimidate checks.

Backdoor: The Raiment's ability to instill fear in onlookers stems from its ability to peer into their deepest fears and subtly evoke them. The wearer is also subject to this effect, and all knowledge gleaned this way is transmitted to the giver of the Raiment. On command, that giver or its designated agent can trigger the aura of frightful presence in such a way as to affect the wearer as well as those around them.

Reckoning Clock

Specifically given to the Pharaoh of Numbers, who was particularly favored by the Dominion of the Black, the Reckoning Clock is a partially-technological, partially-arcane orrey that can display the configurations of constellations and planets at any date it is given. Additionally, when casting any divination spell, someone properly attuned to the Star Clock (attunement requires a DC 20 Knowledge(arcana) check and a ritual lasting 1 hour) can arrange it to determine the most auspicious variants to use. This requires a DC 20 Knowledge(engineering) check and a minimum casting time of 1 minute. If the check succeeds, the spell is cast as a Silent Spell, and the caster is treated as having the Sacred Geometry(Bouncing, Echoing, Enlarged, Extended, Heightened, Persistent, Piercing, and/or Reach Spell) and Calculating Mind feats for the purpose of casting this spell.

Backdoor: The giver of the Clock also receives all information divined using a spell enhanced by the Clock.
