Minor Eldritch Figures¶
Lesser Eldritch of the Fifth Age, and those who serve them, with too little in the sources for a page of their own.
Athu Marised¶
A 28-year-old Danari soldier who is no longer himself. "The real Athu was a mercenary that stumbled upon a soulcrux." Knowing it to be important and magical, he became obsessed with unlocking its secrets, and at last stole a rare witch talisman able to break it, "releasing its soul fragment … which immediately latched onto him." The fragment slowly possessed and mastered him: "He is now a driven Eldritch Warrior." He has minor Eldritch magic, which he keeps concealed. He wants power and freedom, is curious about the world, and has access to some of the original Athu's memories. He is evil at heart, though it is hidden. He was drawn up as a companion character for the Sancturi Campaign. See Eldritch Soulcruxes.
Hadelia¶
The Grey Prophetess, "an agent of the Eldritch," once a priestess of Arya. She works divine miracles and is integrated with the Keepers of Abaddon in Alghert, where she belongs to the priesthood of the Iron Lady: "a false god, scorned as a cult in many other places," which helped hold the Alghert Hollow in check and keep the populace safe. Its holy text is the Iron Tome; its principles are "Steadfast, Knowledge, Life, Determinism, Strength"; its priests do not drink. "The Iron Lady is an Elder God, Allania serves them," which binds Hadelia to Allannia Vaj'zaelin's circle.
Xugax¶
An "Eldritch Priest" of the Runebinders, the Namakan order of rune magic, who served with the Doomguard, the company of the Sancturi Campaign's party, after Queen Aalina Lorimer's death and the Sancturi treaty over Brusau. His art suppresses and gathers energies, and he knows a Mithis Repulsion Rune.
Sources: Athu Marised, S148; Hadelia, S181; Xugax, S187. The sources do not say whether Xugax is himself an Eldritch or a priest who serves them, nor what became of Hadelia after the fall of Pemeril's wards.
