Sigil Bestiary: The Cockatrice
Standing up to half the height of a man, with the head, comb and wattles of a cockerel, the body and legs of a lizard, the wings of a bat, and the tail and forked tongue of a snake, the Cockatrice is an abomination of nature. Cockatrices are hatched from an egg laid by a […]
Sigil Emporium – Orb of Melchior
In ages past Melchior, the great magus of the east, created several seeing stones to observe the grand world around him, and to communicate with the Shahs of the land and his magi apprentices. Over time, as empires rose and fell and Melchior’s successors grew decadent and corrupt, the seeing stones passed from the eastern […]
Sigil Bestiary: The Troll
It is a time-honoured tradition for would-be heroes to go troll hunting. After all, why shouldn’t heroes be the bulwark against these horrid giants? Like their cousins the ogres and orcs, trolls are famous for their desire for human flesh. A troll’s mountainous cave is filled with the bones and remains of all kinds of […]
Sigil Emporium – The Erlring
The Alderking is an ancient and dark myth about the King of fairies and goblins who rides out to hunt the greatest game of all: man. The lucky ones caught up in the hunt are killed by the Alderking and his minions, but the unlucky few are captured and taken back to his underground demesne, […]
Sigil Bestiary: The Phantasm
Phantasms are decesaed spirits of mages who cannot find rest. Their immortal souls still surge with their magical talents but without an anchor to the mortal world, these chaotic energies have driven the Phantasms quite mad. They drift throughout the world, seeking something they no longer comprehend or remember, unleashing their fiersome magical powers on […]
Sigil Emporium – Skeleton Key
Keys and locks are as much metaphysical symbols of the human condition as they are physical objects. There is something almost mystical about the concept of an object that can close off part of the world, and another that can rejoin that orphaned realm to its larger family. As with everything mystical and metaphysical, there […]
Sigil Bestiary: The Vampire
Vampires are one of the most dangerous breeds of creatures that the darkness has given us. The beauty and seduction of succubi with the cannibalistic bloodlust of ogres. They are hunters of mankind who love nothing more than to enjoy us, use us, abuse us, and then dispose of us. They are predators and parasites. […]
Sigil Emporium – Horn of Plenty
The Horn of Plenty is the cornucopia of the gods, fallen from heaven where it provided the divine with an endless supply of food to keep their immortal lives sated. The Horn of Plenty is a hollow curved horn of a long-dead mythical beast, roughly three feet long and a foot wide at its mouth. […]
Sigil Emporium – Ancestral Tunic
A tunic passed down from father to son throughout the generations, never losing its brilliant azure hue, nor a single thread from its count. This Ancestral Tunic from time immemorial seems to resist time itself, because it was woven from pure mana-weave, a fabric now consigned to myths and legends. This arcane thread from which […]
Sigil Bestiary: The Priest
The holy men of God. The shepherds of man. Wherever you find a society, there you will find a priest. They are as linked to civilisation as the walls of our homes and clothes on our feet. They are cornerstones of the community and may go beyond the mere role of a preacher to act […]
Sigil Emporium – The One
There can be only one. That is the essence of this cursed blade. There can only ever be one greatest, one that is the best, one that can claim the pole position. In this Game, there is only one winner, one champion. No one knows where the One comes from, or who forged it. Most […]
Sigil Bestiary: The Djinn
Made of the essences of smoke and fire, the Djinn are often called the mirror-image of humanity. They bear an aetherial body and mortal soul, where we are quite the opposite. They are bound to this world, yet are not made from this world, carrying the aether in their veins. The Djinn are unable to […]
Sigil Emporium – Hide of the Chrysalid Lion
The Chrysalid Lion was an immense beast that terrorised the lands of an ancient archipelago. It was monstrous and fearsome, yet touched with an otherworldly beauty. Its fur looked finer than the purest gold, its claws seemingly carved from obsidian, and its teeth whiter than marble. This embodiment of death and beauty could not be […]
Sigil Bestiary: The Kobold
These mischievous little sprites can be found nearly everywhere, for those with the right eyes to see, that is. Kobolds do not truly exist within the mortal plane, and are instead creatures of the aether. They dip into our world from time to time to see what the mortal men are up to, experience what […]
Sigil Emporium – Devil’s Dagger
There are realms beyond the knowledge of mortal men that lie far across the twisting seas of the aether. In one of these, there is an archfiend that sees all of creation in each realm across the aether as his to command and conquer. To prepare his new domains for conquest, this vile serpent has […]
