| | |
| | **Tul Oreshka, the Truth in the Darkness **is an Overlord of the horrible secrets lurking in Ombre from the [[Âge des Démons]]. |
| | |
| | ====== Histoire ====== |
| | <span class="">Sul Khatesh, Le Geolier of Secrets is one of the [[maitres_demoniaques]] <span class="">who claimed ruled over all of [[Eberron]] <span class="">during the [[Âge des Démons]]<span class="">. She was bound by the [[Dragons]] <span class="">and [[Couatl]] <span class="">after they jointly discovered the [[Prophétie Draconique]]<span class="">, and the [[Couatl]] <span class="">sacrificed themselves to form the [[Flamme d'Argent]]<span class="">. |
| | |
| | ====== Appearance & Personality ====== |
| | <span class="">As with all [[maitres_demoniaques]]<span class="">, Tul Oreshka has no true fixed form, and can assume any shape of her choosing between {{tagpage>" Fine Creatures"|Fine}} and {{tagpage>"Colossal"|Colossal}} size. |
| | |
| | Tul Oreshka could be as much a threat to her allies as to her enemies. |
| | |
| | ====== Capacités ====== |
| | Tul Oreshka counts **Madness** and **Ombre** as her domains, and has powers related to these themes. |
| | |
| | <span class="">Though she is truly bound by the power of the [[Flamme d'Argent]] and only dimly conscious of the world, she can still observe standing ruins from the [[Âge des Démons]], her chosen servants among the [[diables]], as well as any location where her name or title is spoken for a short time. |
| | |
| | The area around her tomb influences those towards [[cultes_du_dragon_d_en-dessous|madness]]. |
| | |
| | ====== Servants ====== |
| | * The mad [[Fernia|Fernian]] [[diable|pit fiend]] [[npc:korliac|Korliac of the Gray Flame]] is among her servants. He concentrates his attention on [[Xen'drik]], where he uses adventurers as pawns for the [[les_Seigneurs Des Cendres|Seigneurs Des Cendres]]. |
| | |
| | ====== Notes ====== |
| | Keith Baker has noted on his [[https://www.keith-baker.com|website]] that Tul Oreshka encompasses the secrets that will drive one to madness.The [[Maîtres Démoniaques]] of the [[Age of Démon|Premier Âge]] aren’t {{tagpage>"Deities"|gods}}, and they can step on each other’s toes. The rangel of their influence is limited; if [[Rak Tulkhesh]] is influencing events in the [[Cinq Nations]], he’s out of rangel to also be influencing events in [[Xen’drik]] – but there could be ANOTHER [[maitres_demoniaques|Overlord]] tied to war influencing [[cap-tempete]]. With that said, the ones you’ve described are different from one another. I’d love to do a more detailed accounting of each of these when the DM’s Guild opens up for Eberron, but in short: |
| | |
| | [[npc:bel_shalor]] is more about corruption while [[Eldrantulku]] is about chaos and discord. |
| | [[Sul Khatesh]] is the master of arcane secrets, while [[Tul Oreshka]] knows the secrets that will drive you mad. [[Sul Khatesh]] knows incantations that can destroy cities or raise the dead; [[Tul Oreshka]] knows what your lover truly thinks about you, and what’s lurking underneath your bed in the dark. |
| | [[Dral Khatuur]] embodies the chill that kills the harvest and saps the strength of the strongest man. [[The Wild Heart]] is the predator that lurks within, the rabid instincts that lie beneath the surface waiting to be unleashed.}} |
| | |
| | He also notes Tul Oreshka has some possible similarities with [[La Furie]], the Sovereign of Rage and Ruin of [[Les Sombres Six]]. He suggests that worshippers of [[Les Sombres Six]] would see positive aspects in [[La Furie]] that are lacking in a being of pure evil such as Tul Oreshka as one of the [[maitres_demoniaques]] of the [[Premier Âge]]. You’ve already made clear the differences between the [[Légion Souveraine]] and the [[Maîtres Démoniaques]], but would you consider [[the Sombres Six]] as a whole to be enemies of the [[Maîtres Démoniaques]] as well? |
| | |
| | I’m going to rewrite my original answer to this question, because I think it was unclear. First of all, a defending element of {{tag>["Sovereigns|the Sovereigns and Six"}} is that their existence cannot be conclusively proven. They are said to be omnipresent and to influence their spheres wherever events occur. [[trois_visages_de_la_guerre|The Dols]] are present anytime blades are drawn. And yet they cannot physically manifest. In this, they are concretely different from [[maitres_demoniaques]], who influence a limited area (even if potentially a very large one) and can physically manifest. An [[maitres_demoniaques| Overlord]] can be bound, and an [[maitres_demoniaques| Overlord]] cannot. So in some ways it’s a meaningless question, because [[Les Sombres Six]] don’t manifest, so HOW WOULD YOU KNOW? With that said, I’d argue that EVERYONE is against the [[maitres_demoniaques]]. If I’m a [[Méduse]] priestess of [[L'Ombre]], I’m not going to look at [[npc:bel_shalor]] and say “I dunno, I kind of like the cut of his jib.” Among other things, most cultures that revere [[Les Sombres Six]] look at their positive elements. You could say that [[Tul Oreshka]] and [[La Furie]] have some overlap, but [[Tul Oreshka]] is PURE MADNESS, while the Furie can reflect the positive aspects of passion and emotion. |
| | |
| | WITH THAT SAID: Canon sources suggest that many of the myths associated with {{tag>["Sovereigns|the Sovereigns and Six"}} are drawn from the actions of [[Dragons]] in the [[Premier Âge]], who may have somehow ascended to become the Sovereigns; this is the foundation of [[Thir]] and the [[Église de l'ascension du Wyrm]]. By these principles, [[Dol Dorn]], [[Dol Arrah]] and [[Dol Azur]] were all martial [[Dragons]], and [[Dol Azur]] was flayed after betraying the others – suggesting that he, at least, was working with the enemy. The [[Dragon]] who became [[Le Geolier]] may have had an alliance with [[Katashka]]. The MYTH of [[L'Ombre]] may have been Inspiré by [[npc:bel_shalor]] – even though [[L'Ombre]] that is worshipped in [[Droaam]] ISN’T [[npc:bel_shalor]].}} |
