19-710 Lequel est libre ? https://soundcloud.com/jlgaillard/lequel-est-libre Bernard Palissy, le célèbre potier émailleur de l’époque de la Renaissance, fut mis en prison par le Parlement à cause de sa foi. Le roi Henri III désirait vivement garder ce sujet, qui était le seul artisan du temps, capable de lui fabriquer de la vaisselle précieuse en terre cuite. Comme, ni les menaces, ni les promesses ne produisaient aucun effet sur le prisonnier pour lui faire renier sa foi, le roi se rendit en personne dans la prison, et lui demanda d’adjurer : — Si vous ne le faites pas, ajouta Henri, je me verrai forcé de vous laisser condamner à mort. — Sire, répondit Palissy, est-ce le roi de France que j’entends dire : je serai forcé ? Je ne suis qu’un pauvre potier, un des plus petits sujets de Votre Majesté et de plus, aujourd’hui prisonnier, mais aucune puissance au monde ne peut me forcer à agir contre ma conscience. Vous êtes un des plus puissants maîtres de la terre et vous dites : Je serai forcé. Sire, lequel de nous deux est libre ? L’homme se veut libre, se croit libre. En fait, même s’il est investi d’autorité, sa marge de liberté est étroite. Et comment l’utilise-t-il ? Il est en fait l’esclave de ses pulsions et de ses convoitises. Mais Jésus, le Fils de Dieu, nous rappelle que si Lui nous délivre, nous serons réellement libres (Jean 8 : 36). « C’est pour la liberté que Christ nous a affranchis… » Galates 5 : 1. « Or, le Seigneur c'est l’Esprit ; Là où est l’Esprit du Seigneur, là est la liberté. »2 Corinthiens 3 : 17. #liberté #libre #prison #prisonnier #forcer #ordre #mort #condamnation #potier #artisan #adjurer #foi #renier #persecution #puissance #monde #renier #esclave #pulsion #renaissance #precieux #roi #histoire #versetbiblique #versetdujour #affranchis Jean-Louis Gaillard www.365histoires.com www.jlgaillard.fr https://www.instagram.com/p/CjR96TDMuFM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Azalin Reviews: Darklord Jacqueline Renier

Domain: Richemulot Domain Formation:  694 BC Power Level: 💀💀💀⚫⚫ Sources: Ravenloft (3e), Secrets of the Dread Realms (3e), Domains and Denizens (2e), Realm of Terror (2e), Domains of Dread (2e), Gazetteer III (3e).

Most Darklords are pulled into the Mists and “gifted” a land to rule (that is also designed to torment them) after committing an act of so-called evil. Others gain such titles through the act of killing another Darklord. Why one would want eternal torment, I cannot say. Self hate? Inability to recognize where they truly are? Oh and if you are thinking of doing the same, this ploy doesn't always work. Most Darklords simply come back after they are “destroyed” as even our tormentors will not let death free us from them.

Before Jacqueline Renier became the Darklord of Richemulot, her grandfather Claude Renier was Darklord. The Renier family was chased into the Mists by a group of monster hunters and their hounds when Jacqueline was a child. Most Darklords rarely remember much, if anything, of the land they came from, our tormentors erase such things from their minds. One must not believe a lying rat when they state they remember something when all evidence points to the contrary. 

The Reniers fled into the sewers and given the choice between death and a vault filled with a mysterious Mist, they chose the Mist and Falkovnia. Death may have been the kinder option than dealing with Drakov...The Reniers lived in the sewers of Silbervas in Falkovnia for a number of years before Vlad grew tired of their antics and ran them out of his Domain and into the Mists once more. This indicates that Vlad was successful in defeating the Reniers. Now that is a family history I’m sure Lady Jacqueline doesn't wish you to know of.

The Mists created Richemulot, which is mostly made of river valleys and untamed forests with the majority of its populace living in the three large cities. There is no known history of what happened in Richemulot prior to the Reniers settling there. The cities themselves were said to be empty when they arrived and like true scavengers, instead of questioning this oddity, the people merely accepted it and took up whatever residence they wished. To this day, only about a third of the buildings in each city are occupied by humanity, the rest lie abandoned and given over to decay and the infestation of rats.

Claude ruled through fear and manipulation, bidding his rivals and relatives (often these were the same) against one another. Jacqueline and her twin sister, Louise, were his protegees and he was always encouraging competition between the two for his affection and praise. That is until Jacqueline had enough of it and had a servant send him a drink laced with lye. Each wererat in Richemulot has their own unique 'allergin' and lye was Claude's. Not that I would advise anyone to consume lye in the first place... 

Jacqueline ensured she was there as her grandfather drank the poison so she could gloat as he died. But the poison wasn’t enough for her and she also pushed him through a window where he fell through the roof of the family kennel and was half-consumed by hounds before his body was retrieved. Considering the poison killed him before he hit the ground, this was quite unnecessary and makes it far more obvious to even the casual observer who was responsible for Claude’s death.

Jacqueline is just as manipulative and cunning as her grandfather was, ruling the land through secrets and bringing down her opposition through rumors and misinformation. It is said the nobility trade more in secrets than coin in Richemulot and that a commoner may gain status by simply hearing the right rumor and knowing how to weld it. 

Instead of pitting her family against one another, Jacqueline encourages them to work together, though she herself kills anyone that appears to be working against her. Only her twin sister is the exception to this. Curious. Does Jacqueline have some form of misguided affection for her sister? Is this why she has all of Louise’s lovers and friends killed? Regardless of the reasoning, it is abundantly clear that Jacqueline does not take competition for her affections well.

She is patriotic and wishes to bring prosperity to her Domain. Of course, the prosperity she strives for would result in the end of humanity, but she does try.  Though there’s no formal militia in Richemulot, she expects all of her people to take up arms to defend the realm. So, her defense is the equivalent of untrained peasants with pitchforks. Drakov’s ever-failing attempts at conquering her Domain must be particularly crushing for the little mercenary. Still, he seems to have created enough stir in Richemulot to encourage Jacqueline to sign the Treaty of Four Towers with Borca, Dementlieu, and Mordent in defence against the war-hungry, impaling-loving idiot. 

Jacqueline’s curse is to only appear in her rat form to those she loves. A fact she discovered when she fell in love with the nobleman Henri DuBois. She attempted to inflict him with her lycanthropy but he managed to not only escape that fate, but Richemulot as well. Jacqueline, a word to the wise, if one cannot accept you in your rat form, are they really worth all this pinning and crippling monophobia?

Jacqueline is a formidable combatant, but only when she is surrounded by her allies. She can speak with rats, take mist form like a vampire, and climb along almost any surface. However, when she is alone, her monophobia cripples her to a point where she can easily be defeated.

Considering the majority of her people do not know of her wererat affliction, her mastery of manipulation and control, and easy defeat of Claude; Jacqueline is not a Darklord to be underestimated. Though, if one learns her fears she can be easily taken out by a well-placed assassin. I will grant her three skulls.

----------------------------

Domain: Richemulot Domain Formation:  Unspecified (694 BC older editions) Power Level: 💀💀⚫⚫⚫ Sources: Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft (5e)

The “good” Doctor’s new guide indicates that Jacqueline is not a natural born wererat, but was inflicted with the curse instead. Does this mean one could simply cast ‘Remove Curse’ upon her person to effectively neutralize her? Or any of her family members seeing as she changed all of them herself? Our Tormentors rarely make things that easy, but a theory I encourage any with such abilities to try. 

Born into the Renier noble family, Jacqueline analyzed the changes in her city as the commoners became more wealthy. To Jacqueline this was viewed as a threat to her family’s position. Would a wealthy class of commoners abide by the rules of nobility if they have no need of them? And though Jacqueline shared her concerns with her family, the other Reniers ignored them, content with these inevitable changes.

Without her family’s assistance, Jacqueline was left to her own machinations. This eventually led her to discover a secret society of esteemed families that called themselves the Trueblood Council…which ended up being made of a bunch of filthy commoner wererats.

She was disgusted to find this filth in place of what she imagined as elite masterminds. Given the amount of gold she spent on gaining membership, perhaps she should have done a bit more research on them? Was it really THAT surprising they ended up being wererats considering their secret meeting location was the sewers? Regardless as she cursed and spit upon them, they made her into a wererat. 

Jacqueline easily adapted to her life as a wererat and swiftly infected all of the Reniers. Except for her twin sister, Louise, who resisted. For her insolence, Louise was disfigured and cast out. In order to gain control of the city, Jacqueline unified the wererats and together they created the Gnawing Plague. However, instead of becoming the savior to the people when they begged for her assistance, she let them die, finding her hatred of the commoners replaced with a hatred for all non-wererats. Who exactly are you ruling over if everyone is dead? Well, no one is the answer and the Mists took her after the last person in Richemulot died.

Now Jacqueline rules half-empty cities in the land of Richemulot, but can only maintain her rule by controlled releases of the Gnawing Plague in order to suppress those that would rise up against her. Given the apparently disposable armies of rats, wererats, and animated armor stuffed with rats she has control over, this seems an unnecessary tactic. Not to mention the populace cannot be all that intelligent given their lack of awareness of Reniers affliction. Jacqueline wears a shawl of rats, rat shoes, and a rat bracelet. Her love of rats could not be more apparent and the rats are known to be the cause of the plague.

No wonder she has no love of ruling over her idiotic populace. I doubt they pose any real challenge for her. Her torments are rather weak compared to other Darklords. She dislikes ruling, misses decadence yet causes such things to be nonexistent with her plagues and has to keep on creating plagues? I would take those anyday over what I have to endure.

Jacqueline can control and communicate any rat in her Domain and mostly uses them as spies. Otherwise, she is an inflicted wererat who has a love for creating plagues. Considering her control would easily break if the labs that created said plagues were destroyed, I consider this version of Jackie to be less powerful than in previous versions. 2.5 Skulls.

5. A song for a badass scene

The song that inspired this scene, and yes i used your blog to find it Best read while listening to this song tbh

19. Villain arc song

Ok so. Imagine you're a kinda evil guy. And you meet an evil kinda gal. And she starts making you more evil. It's all fun and games until she betrays you and dooms your boyfriend to die while you're in a magical coma, and bind your will to yours, because she cant stand being equals she needs to be in charge (evil, remember). So you wake up in the bones of your dead boyfriend. Your last memories are of him holding you in his lap. And this bitch has taken your shared evil plans, made them more evil, and then claimed SHE made them up. You'd be pissed right? You'd want revenge right?

REVAN SYMBOLIC PIECE RAHHHHH

[thecatslug]

DMs of Ravenloft! What are your favorite Dark Lords to run as NPCs and why?

Even if nobody answers, here’s mine:

Strahd ‘depression incarnate’ Von Zarobitch -> He is the prettiest, snarkiest, most delightfully complex bisexual disaster in DnD canon. And i’m also a fruity eldest sibling with a traumatic backstory. How can I not adore playing him?

Jacqueline ‘rat mommy’ Renier -> She’s almost tied with Azzy, but I love the girl boss energy she gives off while also being probably the most level headed and diplomatic dark lord. That, and once again- I sympathize as an eldest sibling.

Azalin ‘chaos goblin’ Rex -> I’ve only just begun running him in my campaign, but he’s such a special brand of feral bastard. A bastard that brings out the petty bitch in Strahd and gave us the glorious War Against Azalin book. He’s a king, he’s a legend. I hate him affectionately.

(2e) Ivan ‘have you seen Hamilton’ Dilisnya -> I run a 5e game in 2e lore, so he’s an obscure choice but- this monster is what would happen if you give a theatre kid unlimited power. And I love it.

Maligno ‘Evil Pinocchio’ van murder puppet -> Another 2e lad, I kicked off one of the parties’ part campaign with this fellow. There’s something so delightful about running this monster that is a hybrid of Pinocchio himself… and a reverse William Afton from FnaF
