LORAS, DEATH SUN<br />

CHAPTER FIVE • NECROMANCY<br />
Description: Birthed from a Malfean’s chilling nightmares, Loras is a man-shaped beast that st<strong>and</strong>s 30 feet<br />
tall. His arms are too long for his body, hanging down almost to his calves, with six long fingers on each h<strong>and</strong>.<br />
On his back, he bears a giant blade made <strong>of</strong> writhing gold, which casts its own light <strong>and</strong> its own shadows in all<br />
directions. Draped in obsidian woven into cloth, Loras w<strong>and</strong>ers the Labyrinth at a steady pace, resting when he<br />
wishes, devouring when he wishes. Few spectres frequent his halls, knowing that he makes no exception for them.<br />
Loras feels a purpose deep in his black-oil bones, but he doesn’t know what it is. He possesses many potent<br />
Arcanoi, <strong>and</strong> when he expends much Essence, he begins to shine in waves <strong>of</strong> white <strong>and</strong> black so bright that few<br />
can bear to watch him. When called upon by a necromancer, Loras willingly performs whatever service they ask.<br />
He is, after all, seeking his purpose, <strong>and</strong> who knows where it might be found?<br />

Other Notes: The Pit is Loras’ great <strong>and</strong> writhing weapon. (In Exalted Power Combat, the Pit has an infinite<br />
rate.) His cloth <strong>of</strong> obsidian allows Loras to ignore all attacks that inflict less than six dice <strong>of</strong> raw damage.<br />
Eye <strong>of</strong> the Nightmare is a special ability that allows Loras to learn the Charms <strong>of</strong> the Solar <strong>and</strong> Abyssal Exalted<br />
once they have been used in his presence. When such a Charm is invoked, Loras may reflexively spend 10 motes<br />
<strong>and</strong> one Willpower to study it with Eye <strong>of</strong> the Nightmare. He rolls Perception + Awareness at a difficulty <strong>of</strong> the<br />
permanent Essence required to learn the Charm. If successful, Loras has learned the Charm.<br />
Loras may invoke any Charm that he has learned for its given cost. He may not use Charms whose prerequisites<br />
he does not meet, though he may learn them.<br />
