The legends say Nylora was a powerful seiðkona, wife of the cursed king Harald of a past age. She was slain because of her witchcraft by a champion of good whose name was forgotten a long time ago. After her death she went to Hel, where she made a bargain with the goddess of the underworld herself. Hel crafted Nylora’s body with the divine unholy power of the undeath and turned her into the most powerful unliving lich. The goddess put Nylora’s phylactery into a secret keep in Niflheim, where a legion of demons guard it in the eternal cold night, and sent her back to bring forth Hel’s revenge against the world of men and the order of the celestial gods. Instinct: To bring death to the world
• Cast a dreadful spell of death, decay or frost
• Weave a shacking enchantment of mental dominion
• Disguise as a strikingly beautiful woman
• Reanimate an undead legion or a powerful undead
• Set a ritual or great working into motion
• Reveal a preparation or plan already completed
Looks good to me! Bad ass, too.
Some advice on the writing: Probably you mean “shackling” rather than “shacking”. And should be “domination” rather than “dominion”. What’s a “great working”?
…otherwise, I like it. Nice pic, too.
Thanks Adam Koebel! She is very powerful, indeed!
Levente Barczy thanks for the advice. Shacking was a typo, I meant shaking; does it make any sense in English or is it unheard? And of course you’re right: it’s domination rather than dominion. For great working I copied the move from the base lich move (p. 260) so we should ask it to Adam Koebel. I always intended it as a great plan or work.
