[Xan Paladinism] The Scars of Order [Apotheosis]

[ScreamingDingo 20568]

 

The realization of Apotheosis led to the emergence of the pillar of Order, to only be consumed and brought down from the heavens, to the very lands that descendants dwelled upon. The over-zealous and underprepared deity succumbed to the horrendous alliance of Dragon-kin, the mortal enemies of the Lion. Those of the Draconic tore apart the body of the deity, leaving asunder the mark of Deific Death upon the fortress of Tor’Azdraeth. The Citadel where Azdromoth held his truth, was shattered upon his ascension to the skies.

 

Those of Xannic Ilk felt the sensation of dread in their hearts, as the warmth of the bastion of Order faded into uncertainty. Those that were chained in the afterlife of Xan were relinquished of their golden shackles, which were replaced with ones wrought of ash and dragonsflame. Those that once pledged their lives to Xan, found themselves into forced servitude with the now emerging entity. 

 

To those of his mortal followers, they felt the embers within their gullet twist and turn. The enrapturing sensation of this ember emerged through their flesh, marking their soul with the marks of Asioth. All those of the descendants that had once blessed their lives with the guidance of Order, now found themselves defeated and broken. Their blessing, manifested into a bleeding mark that could not be rendered from flesh or repaired. A permanent symbol of the Fall of Xan.
 

 

Mechanics:

All currently connected Paladins will receive the ‘Scar of Order’, all MA and TA Xan Paladins will be disconnected from their magic. They will not be able to receive any boons or connections formerly from Xan’s influence, and will be stripped of any beneficial/negative afflictions made by such.

 

Those who were Keepers, will revert to their fully descended forms. Those ‘linked’ to Xan will also be unlinked from the patron, for their existence has now ended upon the ascension of Azdromoth.

 

This ‘Scar of Order’ is an aesthetic branding that afflicts the Soul of former Paladins. There are a few requirements for this, but it can otherwise be altered outside of this.
 

• It must, at minimum, be the size of the forearm of the person receiving it. This can be placed on their back, leg, hand, head etc. 
• It must have draconic iconography within it. Whether that is a Dragon eating a Lion, the symbols of Asioth, a stylistic dragon etc.
• This branding will be left with a faint glow upon extreme pain and/or emotional distress. These colors will normally be red/orange, but can be left up to the discretion of the user.
• All ‘Holy Deific’ magics cannot be connected to, as the Mark of the God-Eater, Azdromoth is stained upon your soul.
• This includes magics under the domains of [Malchadiael, Tahariae, Aeriel, Esthael, Apohet/Shamanism]
   

The Scar of Order CANNOT BE:

• Healed by deific or shamanistic magics. This is a full ‘scorching’ of the soul that manifests itself upon the user’s Soul Blueprint. Even if the Paladin swaps bodies or turns into a ghost, the scars will be present no matter what.
• Covered by Tawkin or altered by shamanistic means. If the limb with the scar is amputated, it will manifest elsewhere on the body.

All Paladins afflicted by the ‘Scar of Order’ will receive at a minimum, one of these traits. This is customisable and under the player’s choice

 

• Overzealotry of the ‘Natural Order’
• Hatred / Fear of Dragons
• Immense fear of the ‘Skies’ / Lightning + Thunder
• Depression / Pessimism
• Rage induced by the sight of fire
• Hallucinations of shadows and creatures being dragons
• Hallucinations of Xannic Prayers and Visions

 

Other Xannic Mechanics / Stipulations:

 

• All player created Xannic Enchantments will be rendered inert upon the release of this post.
• All items with these enchantments can be ‘unsigned’ by the ST if you submit an sreq for such. If players attempt to use these enchantments in battle, they will not be applicable and continued abuse of this will lead to punishment.
• All Chanceries and Sunwells will go inert, leaving emptiness in where the holy light once stood. 
   
• Any MArt / CArt related to Paladin Magics will have their power remain, as a small fragment of this power. These are the ones that are currently existing and within player hands.
• Any souls currently within ‘Xan’s’ realm are purged/destroyed. Past characters that dwelled within this realm as Centurions have either been completely immolated or corrupted to serve beneath their new ruler.
