Goldbrine




Mortals find it hard to gaze upon the glory of this celestial. Some say that it shimmers with a golden light not meant for the eyes of the living, others claim the perfection of its body is so painful that humanoid minds simply cannot comprehend it. Oddly, though, the goldbrine may not have a body as we know it at all. Those that have the willpower to perceive its form describe a tall seven-sided prism of golden crystal housed a humanoid set of likewise auric plate armor. The armor's helmet is molded after a beautiful face, it's breastplate muscled to physical perfection. Yet, neither actually attach to the goldbrine's elegant pauldrons, gauntlets, boots or greaves save by crawling strands of golden light emanating from the central crystal. Even the angel's wings are artificial, but immaculately articulated, constructs of gold. A single eye floats within the celestial's crystal core, drifting to whatever facet its focus is needed.


Civilization Killer. Sometimes a population is too wicked to live and that is when the goldbrine is dispatched to the mortal plane. The celestial takes no pleasure in reaping lives but does its duty with alien indifference. Those that survive the culling speak only of the impression of its glory and are thankful for being spared. Those that do not are either shredded by the goldbrine's wings or forever entombed in pillars of salt to dissuade those that might stray from righteousness.

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...

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.
