More on the Brood

Still sensuous despite her advanced age, Evigra'tha radiates a beauty bordering on beatific. The thousand, and last, child of primordial Iktokris rumor has it that her father was one of the myriad of gods once responsible for the Dark Mother’s imprisonment who sought Iktokris to make amends. If Evigra'tha is a demi-god of sorts, that would aptly explain her longevity and power. Like the rest of the brood, she is clothed in a soft, black downy from crown to hoof. Said hooves are shod with well-beaten iron with stripes of glossy, ebon chitin showing between the metal. Evigra'tha’s curled horns are of the same shelled material, though she also has a second set arching backwards from her temple amid a mane of black hair. The bridge of her nose and forehead is flat, rather like a goat, and her dark eyes contain no iris. Swathed in loose silk clothing that does little to hide a body ripened to perfection by childbirths, Evigra'tha leaves most of her back exposed. With it, the channel of crimson cilla that runs down the length of her spine can easily be seen. Evigra'tha always carries a crook carved from one of her mother’s bones, Iktokris' Sliver. She is a shepherd to the brood, whether they are one of her descendants or that of her nine-hundred-and-ninety-nine lost siblings.

Baleful Heroine Evigra'tha is a devoted and loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, so on and so forth. She treats fellow brood with empathy and respect no matter what lineage they come from. This graciousness easily extends to allies and guests of the brood. In general, Evigra'tha follows a moral compass but one that has little problem with debauchery and promiscuity. The brood’s demonic appearance and ‘amoral’ behavior often invites conflict with other religions and societies. When such trouble arises, Evigra'tha always sides with her people first and foremost. Her carefree and kind demeanor will vanish in an instant if a brood is mistreated or threatened. The thousandth born’s judgement in turn will be swift and harsh, but rarely unfair. Because of this and as her people are often othered by established societies, it's commonly believed that Evigra'tha is an evil temptress spinning malignant conspiracies and luring the innocent into the depths of her dark wood.

Distant Harmonies (2 points). Evigra'tha targets a creature it can see within 30 ft and bombards it with a chord not of this sphere. If the creature is concentrating on a spell it must immediately make a DC 13 Concentration check with Disadvantage or lose Concentration on that spell. If not, this acts as the Dispel Magic spell, but is not magical. The DC of its disruption effect as well as the bonus to the Dispel Magic attempt increases by one for each other Brood Chorister that has used Distant Harmony since Evigra'tha last turn. Evigra'tha cannot use this ability if she is Silenced.
