Hiraeth Creature #1214 -Saughast

"Hiraeth is undoubtedly a land of high strangeness--a traveller who has accrued any time in the wilds can tell you as much. The unknown and the ethereal hidden away under a moonlit sky is what adventurers long to uncover, but a seasoned wanderer will know not all peculiarities need to be chased. Sometimes, that feeling of hesitation gripping your legs and begging you to turn around should be heeded. 

A placid trapper is the Saughast: strangers in long coats and boney masks. They seem to appear at night, steadily driving small wagons or setting up shop in abandoned homesteads. The Saughast doesn't pounce upon their victims or cast furious spells, but rather offers them wares. They are merchants, selling odd jewelry and totems. Their goods are said to be miraculous, blessing you with any boon you may wish, but for a greater price. There have been many stories of folk tempted by a Saughast's promises, only to find a brief happiness that ends abruptly. Some meet an early demise, while others are said to have transformed into werebeasts. 

According to Deep Realm demons, all of a Saughast's goods are scavenged from the remains of Primordial Beasts. Such beings were said to breed life into the world, but their ancient magic wasn't meant to mingle with mortal creatures. With pilfered shards of bone and even bristles of old teeth, a Saughast will fashion them into bizarre trinkets meant to spread chaos. The rarest of finds is old skin, which the Saughasts stitch into finery. Wearing such garb is said to transform one into something even more dire than a werebeast."

City Spirits awaken.

So! City Spirts are basically God's sustained by the people in their Cities. Some are Gods born from the belief and people of a City, others are God's who Bind themselves to Cities to sustain themselves in periods of low worship.

Almost all Major Population Centers have some kind of City Spirit bound to them.

The Personification of Los Angeles who slept with Constantine was born from her City, but she was young and weak compared to other City Spirits.

Lady Gotham is an Ancient Spirit who holds immense Power, but purposefully bound herself to the new and growing city of Gotham so she could sleep for a few millenia without worrying about sustaining Worship. She has been asleep for Centuries.

Actually, most City Spirits are Asleep.

Millenia Ago, the most powerful Gods and Spirits of the Infinite Realms fled the Rule of Pariah Dark. They didn't agree with his ambitions to conquer the Living Realm, and didn't want to let him use their Power against the Living Realm either.

So they Bound themselves to newly forming Cities and put themselves into Deep Sleep to avoid his Control. They have been asleep for Millenia now, waiting for the day Pariah would be overthrown so they could return to the Infinite Realms safely.

Then they day came. A New King was Crowned.

And the Cities began to wake up.

Justice League & The Observants

The first time The Observants appeared before the Justice League, they were met with resistance. The JL was more than apprehensive when it came to working with the beings.

A new side of their world was exposed to them. Since the day those things showed up at the watchtower, everywhere the JL turned, there was a new spooky thing to learn about.

The strange beings didn't say much. Appearing in the room through a swirling portal, took a look at the heroes and gave them a mission.

A mission. Like suddenly the Justice League works for them. Something that rubbed all the heroes the wrong way.

Yet, they had to take it. They couldn't let a town get absolutely destroyed and leveled just because they disliked the creatures that told them about it.

It kept happening.

Batman pulls out all the stops to learn more about these so called "Observants". Everything he could find.

It takes him down a rabbit hole. Finding out more and more about the world those beings came from. The Zone.

No one could really complain. The visits from the Observants were always short and to the point. A new problem has arise in the time line and they needed to fix it.

That was until the first time it wasn't one of those things stepping out of the portal.

This time it was a kid. Or something that looked like a kid, and this kid looked pissed.

He demands to know everything that the Observants had asked the league to do. Demands to be filled in.

The anger isn't directed at the JL. No, no. It's directed at the Observants. It seems the league aren't the only ones that despise those all-seeing beings.

He's a king. The kid is a King.

Not what anyone had expected, and it seemed the complication only grew more. The king, Phantom, informs them not to trust the Observants.

The Justice League takes it all in surprising strides. Confirms that they have done nothing wrong, and they haven't. It was simply that the Observants cared more of their own opinions than the betterment of the world.

However, it gets a little harder to keep a straight face when they are introduced to the God of Time.

Made even worse when the God, Clockwork, is a child. If they thought Phantom was a kid, this was a baby.

Except in almost a blink of an eye, Clockwork was an old man.

Things just kept getting more complicating and intriguing.

Before the Justice League knows it. They are essentially thrusted into the Zone's own problems. An inner war was brewing, and Phantom wanted to do everything he could to stop it.

Ker (keres, plural) goddess of violent death

it has come to my attention that when there is Thanatos, the god of gentle death, then there must be another personification of death but of the violent kind and i just found out that they're called the Keres. very shallow research later and i wanted Ker personified in hades game style fashion

took some liberties on how they've become a horde of battlefield body scavenging daughters of Nyx and Erebus, Night and Darkness, and made them all start from a single goddess (Ker) but violent deaths suddenly came at a surplus and so more help was needed hence the death-spirits known as Keres. These death-spirits are likened to the very first iteration of Ker so they're more savage with a single-minded focus and purpose. They did not inherit her capacity of speech nor for scavenging of little trinkets in battlefields.

The whole server has such a bad read on Foolish it's so funny

Pili was taking himself super seriously and trying so hard to have an edgy roleplay moment by being all "... do you really want to see bad die?" and Foolish's response boiled down to "lmao yeah"

i genuinely think that "Despite all I've done to you, I loved you." is one of the most heartbreaking lines in the history of forever. it's acknowledgment that what verity - and everyone else in fitz's life - did to him was wrong and twisted, but his uncle loved him. he had to use fitz, he had to break him, he had to make him into a weapon, despite all the cruelty that fitz had to do on verity's behalf, verity never wanted it. he wanted to love fitz properly and in his last moments of being human, of having some consciousness, he wanted fitz to know that verity always loved him.

but it's the lines after that that truly break my heart. "I told him, I never doubted it. Never doubt I loved you." because like. it's fitz. fitz always doubts and he never believes that he is loved and it's something that is really driven home throughout the series. but he never doubted verity's love, despite how broken he was. he doubted fool's friendship, he doubted burrich's care, chade's advice, molly's love, but not verity's. and he loved him back, even knowing what verity did to him. it was never about verity being his king, it was about verity being family

tr!Bad; No no look, it's gonna be fine, it's gonna be fine! You'll see, watch, I bet the next time I run in to him he'll go "Hey Bad, how are you doing?" and he'll be staring at me with those big, beady eyes like he usually does, and he'll be asking me for free stuff like he usually does. tr!Water; And what if he doesn't? tr!Bad; No, no, he's going to, no.

it was really metal of beloved to put bresinga in a headlock and voice no threats only facts “if you move you will dislocate your shoulder. i could do this all day” i love it when pacifist characters are pushed over the edge and i love the fool’s quiet little displays of strength

pain doesn't make people. . . it's love that makes people. the pain is inconsequential; it's love that saves them.

beloved, on hope & love

honestly i need to write a character study fic of ros being Not Normal with Clownpierce 2 the Skeleton. in like. an psychological angst way. ros going so mad with her loneliness that she is keeping a skeleton dressed as her best friend around as her only company. talking to it constantly for hours. pretending like its him. holding its hand and dragging it around to show her work on the castle to it. its just trying to hit her the entire time and shes just giggling because "oh youre so silly clown!!!" telling it everything thats happened to her and all her feelings. reading into its erratic behavior for a delusional sense of care. getting super defensive and violent whenever someone tries to tell her its not actually clown and shes in denial. she cant feel so alone if clowns here with her!! haha!!!
