Heralds of the major Gods, the Dream Heralds are specially forged beings to support the efforts of the Everchosen of Chaos. 

Unlike the other cases of mortals and daemons cohabitating a body, the Dream Heralds interact with Kallig’s soul in a more symbiotic than parasitic. Not only able to empower their host but power can be transferred between the different heralds. 

Most times, Kallig’s malignant empowerments are shrouded by psychic wards built into his mask and the constant casting of cantrips which have become akin to breathing in the recesses of his mind. This gives the image of a simple, if powerful, psyker but close examinations or a lowering of these wards brings the malignant power forward.

While just a title from when their names weren’t yet revealed to the fledgling Everchosen, the title remained in their shared lexicon. Initial meetings with the entities were done during Kallig’s sleep. Even during the modern era, sleep is the best medium for reliable communication with the heralds beyond small comments. 

The currently known Heralds in service to the Everchosen are;

Khaalzhak - Wrath of the Everchosen

Shassanki - Pride of the Everchosen

Robigo Deos - Apostle of the Everchosen

Truzkuuth - Oracle of the Everchosen

Aliases and Titles

Shaski - Simplification for mortal tongues

Mistress of Ruin

Temptress of Xarex

Pride of the Everchosen

Overview

The Herald Shassanki is a unique character among the Dream Heralds. While she does still carry the fondness of pleasure and suffering shared by her more mundane kin, Shaski prefers the progression of life towards a central point of perfection.

There is particular interest placed on the lifestyle of Kallig in his sovereign position, encouraging the enjoyment of luxuries and acts at the disposal of the position despite the more martial manner Khal and Deos encourage. This desire for luxury has been channelled into the mortal realm via the assistance in Kallig’s hobbies, specifically that of his tailoring.

Her preferred works are those based on unconventional images. A dress formed from scaled slate, a shamanistic headpiece resembling the primal aspects of suffering. There have been a number of more revolting pieces which have been composed, with a few even earning destruction but most are tame and acceptable for mortal observation. 

And the adventure begins:)

I probably mentioned it too many times so far, but I am so not used to shooters, especially on consoles.

I played a bit of old solo fps games on pc before 2005 and even a bit of Counter Strike, but console shooting felt kinda foreign to me.

But! Since I consider myself a gamer, it would be a shame to avoid fps genre for too long and honestly I’m kind of a Blizzard fanboy by now:p So I decided to give this game a try (lightly speaking).

As I mentioned: After the open beta ended I pre-ordered the Origins Edition and I couldn’t be happier about it.
