Blackened Smith




A dark fey artisan’s strongest tool and favored weapon a blackened smith is blacksmithing hammer made from the fragments of a vainglory and the wood of a deadwood tree. Arcane power visibly ripples across its head, and every time it strikes miniature sparks of lighting sizzle from the point of impact.

Craftman’s Friend. A blackened smith can move and work on its own, and often does. However, when taken in hand by a fey craftsman it allows them to not only shape metal but bind the magic of the Waning Court to their work. Fashioning a blackened smith moves a waning fey from journeyman to master.

Lingering Skill. After being slain most of the once-enchanted hammer remains, including some of its magic. While it can no longer channel lighting or be used as an effective weapon it greatly aids in the construction of magic items. Sometimes a mortal tricks a fey artisan out of an blackened smith, which also disenchants the hammer. These lucky souls often go on to grow a fortune from the wears they produce. However, the bamboozled fey often seeks to repair its honor, with lethal results. A ‘dead’ blackened smith grants advantage on tool skill checks where it might apply.

Knave of Knights

Bound to the Cavalcade of the King of Fools , this fallen angels wears a mockup of platemail armor crafted from bright pressed velvet and knitted wool but his weapons are nevertheless quite real. Said weapons are a whip crafted from liars's tongues and a lance of hell iron he wields as if it was made from driftwood. The stub of burnt wings jut from his back with multi-colored streamers dangling from the charred bones. The Knave of Knights fell in with the Cavalcade when he vowed to defend a rightful king's right to rule, only to find out that the sire he fell in with was a bastard usurper who had successfully taken his brother's place. Cursed and broken mentally by the deception, he was easily felled by the King of Fools and given a new place at the archdevil's side serving as his jester and favored knight all wrapped into one.

The Black Lady

The Black Lady claims to be the The King of Fools' concubine and takes pride in the title despite how other devils look down on her and the rest of the cavalcade for it. She adores the 'silly' archdevil to no end and works tirelessly to ensure that the devils beneath him show the properly courtly respect that her lord is due... if he is around. Otherwise, she focuses more on vicious gossip, violent fetes, and malicious matchmaking. Pitch black in skin with burning red eyes, the Black Lady's legs end in smolding pig hooves while long, curled horns poke from her ebony coiffure. She wears a variety of overy fancy dresses that are always stripped, monochrome, and risque. One accessory she is never without is an enchanted fan made from burnt angel feathers. This fan is as sharp as any demon's claws and will always return to her hand. The Black Lady Medium Fiend (devil), lawful evil Armor Class 22 (natural armor) Hit Points...

Crackle

A singular being, Crackle is a bolt of lightning given sentience after hiting a monk meditating atop the mountain. In fact, it believes it is that very monk reincarbated from a smoldering husk instead of the force which killed it. Crackle takes on a humanoid shape, chaning its lighting to appear to have skin and clothing. However, ripples of electricity constantly wiggle along its form. Often times its hair, clothing, and arms will clip through one another for Crackle is an imperfect copy. Crackle travels about, driven by a strong sense of law if not justice. It has a hard time empathizing with other points of view than the one it adopted and flies into a rage when pressed on its true nature.
