A Warning of the Unnatural

[TeaLulu 1783]

 

[!] A notice is posted throughout Vailor, on every board it can reach. Letters are also sent to all the different nations and settlements.

 

Let it be known throughout all of Vailor of the ones known as “Homunculi” and the threat they pose.

 

Homunculi are soulless beings created from the corpses of the dead and altered through Alchemy. This sick and pervasive practice should be tolerated by no nation on Vailor. Homunculi have no regard for morals or the sacredness of life.

 

The strongest of these, the “Dopplegangers”, look exactly like the descendant they once were; Yet they have no soul and no memories, and are twisted creatures bent on slaying the Descendants. They actively practice heresy as their purpose is to reach “ascendancy”, aiming to become “the perfect being”, that is, a God.

 

These beings are so unnatural that simply cutting off their head is not sufficient; In order to fully slay them, their bodies must be destroyed with a “Potion of Unmaking”.

 

Lines of gold do not affect them unless they make actual contact with their skin. If you believe someone is one, force them to touch gold with their bare skin.

 

All homunculi are dangerous, but the Dopplegangers are especially so. Caution is urged when engaging. Any and all who harbor these beasts or are merciful to them despite their murderous intentions are to be regarded as traitors.

 

The known Homunculi who masquerade as mortals are as follows:

 

1) Prohan

This doppleganger homunculi has the appearance of a human, specifically one formerly known as Daniel Nodal. He has tan skin, black hair, is a member of the Dawn Striders and frequently wears their uniform, which is similar to a sailor’s outfit. He is of the air element.

     2) Lotho

          This doppleganger homunculi has the appearance of a dwarf, specifically Beros Oathcast. He has white skin, blonde hair, lacks the typical dwarven accent, and usually wears white robes with a set of goggles atop his head. He is of the air element.

     3) Quavinir

This abherrant homunculi has a twisted appearance with unnaturally pale, white skin, and blonde hair. He speaks with a heavily twisted accent of untraceable origins. He is a friend to the doppleganger homunculi and saved them from being cleansed. Quavinir personally warned the other homunculi of an impending trap intending to kill them all. If it had not been for Quavinir, all of the dopplegangers would have been slain and the threat summarily ended.

     4) Darius

This deviant level homunculus wears a yellow and red mask and is of the water element. He looks similar to a human in build and wears grey robes.

 

The Dopplegangers are extremely strong and powerful; But they are an unnatural blight that must be purged and allowed no safety. Aurum weapons and holy magic are most effective against them. They should be attacked only when one is equipped with gold weapons.

 

All of these unnatural beings must be slain, and given no safe haven. The nations are implored to help in the hunt for these beings, or at the very least, ensure that they have no safe haven in any nation’s lands.

 

For those seeking more information on these creatures, to aid in the hunt for them, or to acquire the potion necessary to slay them, send word to the Brotherhood of the Golden Lion in Leone. All aid possible will be given as the Brotherhood seeks to end these beings in totality due to the very hubris inherent in their existence and their past sins of murder onto the descendants.

 

[Cat Evocation 3728]

"Rev up those (fryers)alembics alchemist, it's time for the great Homonculi purge!" Urged one alchemist.

[1 1393]

An alchemist somewhere nods,

"These beings are not to be messed with. Being of pure chaos."

[MonkeyCoffee 516]

"That thing was a Homunculi? Oh by the Aspects, I might have the cooties!" Makayla shivered, recalling the moment one of the alchemical beings had attempted to become a Dedicant.

[ℤ∃ʁ∅ 823]

Ramza frowns seeing his dear friend Quav. "What have you done my dear friend.." He sighs to this. 

[Ayevia 141]

"So that explains it.." Titania nods to herself, a shiver running down her spine.

[Abyssus 487]

An old alchemist in his laboratory atop a mountain peered towards the paper

 

"Oh..didn't realize there were that many." 

[OhDeerLord 673]

Dwyn frowns deeply seeing the notice, rubbing a hand across his face "Damnit, hopefully Quavi can convince these idiots that he isn't a threat." He shakes his head, thinking of the unique man.. a Homunculi with a soul, trying to get rid of the other dangerous Homunculi, if only these people weren't so dense.

[Will (TauFirewarrior) 2466]

"Well now I have to protect Quav..." Abelas would say sighing, readying himself for angry people. 

[__WaterFox__ 636]

"A shame that fool has a heart... But it was a betrayal none the less",Alirya commented with a sigh 

[Farryn 860]

Elvira reads the notice with a deep sigh, remembering the operation and feeling immense guilt forming withing her. Then utmost sadness filled her heart as she reads about Prohan, the Doppleganger of her dearest mentor and closest friend. She knew known Daniel for nearly all her life and had wondered if the man had passed on peacefully with his family by his side... yet now she truly knew what happened. "You old geezer... I always knew you wanted to expand your life or at lease stay alive for a few more years... but why must you do it in a way that can harm people just for its own needs... we could have figured something out... a safer option...  I wish I could have been there to stop you... and thank you for everything you did for me... yet you just had to resort to this..."

 

Then she reads of Lotho, her eye widening in horror. "No... no no no....! They... they turned him into one... or did he choose to accept it... First Daniel... now Beros... why is it those I care about most that end up falling to this fate..."

 

Finally, she reaches the part of Quavinir and rubs her forehead. " Quavinir... while he holds a good heart for others... the fact he is supporting a group who are essentially killing others to likely make into more Homunculi or to experiment on here cannot simply be turned away. I had expected him, a follower of Yeu Rthulu, to understand that they are wrong and doing deeds that cannot be forgiven. Yet due to the fact he gave away the ambush purely to save his own skin, his betrayal is a wound that is too deep to be healed, perhaps stitched up but the scar will still remain... what happens to him in the future was caused by his own actions and choice," The cleric crossed her arms and shook her head lightly. "Disconnecting him was hard... especially as this was my first disconnection but it had to be done... I do not know how or why his connection was transferred to Tahariae but when he was transferred, he became a cleric and thus my responsibility... it had to be done"

[Malocchio 983]

Alenesae nods in approval, musing over the Homunculi she scorched and killed which had attacked Merlin long ago.

[WuHanXianShi14 0]

At the mention of fake life and alchemical god-tampering, the forest glades of Laureh'lin experience a shockwave which reverberates throughout the entire island as a dogmatic wood elf becomes IMMENSELY triggered.

[Jistuma 1996]

Prohan stares at one of the flyers without an expression on his face. "Peculiar..." he muses to himself "Never imagined some of the holy order... to be so... idiotic..." The words come slow, him talking to no one in particular, speaking his mind. "I wished for more time... Now... I might as well make myself known..." His eye falls on another flyer, one of lesser importance, and turns it around. On the back he starts writing with a pencil.

 

Endearing that we are spoken about publicly in such a way. Much of the information you provide is rather wrong, the biggest part being that we're dangerous. We don't even kill, nor torture, nor mane others, simply use your kind's corpses to create more of our own. And only those that die not by our hand. For you see, we're the ones that should fear you, you're the one that hunt us for no reason other than concepts of 'purity' and vague ideas of us you know nothing about. How many Homunculi have existed for us to be known exactly as described? Old legend in a few books. Alas, I enjoy speaking to many about our kind. Meet with me, and talk to me. Due so at the Cloud Temple, since you so fear us, and to ensure my safety. Be quick with it, because of these flyers, I do have to go into hiding soon. I will speak to anyone that wishes.                                                                                               - Prohan.

[Guest]

The one named Dralazar for the first time since his demise allows his lips to split into a deranged grin, eyes swirling with a thick crimson energy.

"Now they hunt creations of my followers.."

His head tilted, chattering filling his ear.

"I will end them."
