Chapter 2: The Serpent's Rising

With the slaughtering of countless cultists and acolytes it seems clear now that Ahkmenasptek's motives are far more dangerous then we assumed. It seems that he seeks to overthrow the Wraith Queen and turn the Cult of Black Chaos into a tool he can utilize for himself. With each passing day the Wraith Queen grows weaker, with the growing number of attacks from the Spectrum League of Heroes and the Pharaoh. Ahkmenasptek grows stronger by opening more and more portals, ushering in hordes of demon ilk from the Valley of Shadows. His strangle hold on Egypt has reached a fever pitch. Most of the country ether lies in ruin or under the pharaoh’s command. The people suffer as does land. Soon he will spread his reach into the neighboring countries. This action will surely signal the world consul in which drastic action will most likely be taken. We cannot risk such a thing taking place. Ahkmenasptek must be stopped at all costs. The fate of the Cult of Black Chaos remains uncertain. It can be assured very soon drastic action will be taken on all sides.

Worst of all there is a resurgence of "Free-willed" wraith much like the Pharaoh across the globe. In Indian desert a recent wraith has emerged, called The Maharajah. He seems however to be content to be left alone in his broken palace and shows to have no ties to the Pharaoh. In Mexico, a female wraith of Aztec origins has appeared in the Sierra de Miquiztli, she is known as the Priestess Princess, Teoxochitl. As for right know very little is known about this creature. In the American west reports are that a ghost-like gunslinger is terrorizing many west american states. Little is also known about this creature. Agents sent to investigate most often or not return dead and bullet riddled. Rumours of a spectral Tzar are flooding in from Russia and people claim that Merlin the wizard is causing chaos in most of the United Kingdom. The Wilderness Wraith is also reappeared and is causing panic wherever it goes and the Magatech Wraith has recently upgraded itself and is now Upgraded Mechadeath Wraith it is spreading terror throughout most electronic networks. Human resistance against it is still climbing. Our own occultists are also having a problem dealing with it. If this keeps much longer...the wraiths will surely claim the earth for themselves and human, weather cultist or not will be in grave danger. the increased pressure from the Requiem is not helping the Cult's efforts ether.

Unpleasent Peasants, The Ethereal Angry Mob
these lowly genetic wraiths are loyal to whatever claims or controls them. completely lacking in magic they are a messily class one or two most often just one. what they make up for in power and magic is in swarming capability . like human Peasants these wraiths carry, pitchforks, brooms, clubs, torches, bottles or whatever other weapon they could find.

Lost Host Wraiths
A Lost Host wraith is only half wraith. When some people died their spirit lingers briefly before moving onto the next plane of existence, however, some ghosts wander to far from the doorway to the plane. A ghost can be created this way, or if the person was unfilled in life, died to suddenly or angrily. There is something that can further happen, if a ghost is lured into a different light, a dark light, an evil beacon in their shadowy existence say from a dark energy exuded from the Wraith Queen, a hybrid occurs. This ghost imbued with dark powers from the queen or other highly powerful wraith becomes a much like a common hollow wraith but it retains the personality and memories of whoever the ghost may have been and may even retain speech. Several of the Unique general wraiths employed by the queen started off as Former Host with the exception of the Chieftain who started as an elevated frost wraith(which is still classified as common hollow breed). It is not to say that all wraiths resembling a once living persons was a Former Host, the mere essence of their existence could have just be used so creating a copycat wraith of a once real person.

Insatiable Libertarians & Countesses of Debauchery (Class 7)
Abstract ideals and Abject perversion. These special regal wraiths are of the Marquis' only personal entourage. He never travels without at least of handful of Countesses or Libertarians. what makes these particular wraiths so special is not the fact they answer to the marquis and no one else, but the fact the class ranking on these wraiths is at least a 7 maxim and 5 minimum. It is astounding that lesser wraiths achieve anything higher then a 5 or 6. The Marquis himself created this wraiths, by combining regal classes with warrior classes. Such an procedure is unheard of and has thus far been near impossible, not to mention unfathomable. The Wraith queen does not particularly mind the fact de Lunacidal is doing this. In fact the queen utilizes several Countesses almost as ladies in waiting. They have been of course instructed by the marquis to follow the wraith queen's orders. The Insatiable Libertarians use melee and projectile attacks if threatened, carrying a sword and gun, most often small firearm.

Hollow Sands
What is the one thing, other then eating and breathing, humans and every living thing have in common? The need for sleep. Humans spend a great deal on this earth in another realm, the realm of dreams and nightmares. As many are aware, the Sandmen(as most often they appear as males) help humans to sleep, through use of magical sands. Knowing full well humans are most vulnerable while in "dreamland" the cult decided to see if these Sandmen could to used as weapons against the living. The Hollow Sands, (as they lack a clear representation, whether they are male or female) were created. Some were made via the corruption(and capture) of real Sandmen, while others were "artificial" in their construct. The main problem of the Hollow Sands is their unpredictability. The realm of sleep, of dreams and the subconscious mind was far to complex for the cult to control. Thus Hollow Sands act as if though they possess free will. Some of them will turn and attack their masters, while others will harm an intended target. Then some of them, retaining their former memories, even the artificial ones, will go about through the world of dreams, acting as if no evil ever befell them and just help people sleep. All of this taken into account, the cult decided against creating any more Hollow Sands they had. The now are very elusive creatures, appear at random and with varying dispositions. They're now a neutral being, nether on the side of good or evil. Hollow Sands dwell primary in the sleep or dream realms, which are various and some incomprehensible to the waking mind. Their powers can be anything just from using they Golden Sleep Sands, to create dreams, nightmares, weapons, "living things". Basically they are only limited by the dream and as such are nearly limitless in power. Beings as such this, they deify classification or rank. One might encounter such a creature in your dream and be unharmed by it. Where as others may not be so lucky. You know what they say, if you die in a dream, you die for real.

The Mutant Strain and Mechadeath Wraiths
Just as nature evolves and technology expands so to do the Wilderness and Megatech Wraiths. These two creature have now become advanced versions of themselves

Mad Harlequin, Lothario Omicida
An famous Harlequin actor, but more prolific as a Puppeteer, by the name of Lothario Omicida, dominated the stage and enthralled many audiences. However Lothario suffered psychologically, and began to indulge in ruthless, blind murder and torture. To him the screams of his victims was that of thunderous roar of applause. He terrorized Italy for countless decades until finally brought to justice. Even while being executed his mind took the gasps and disgusted roar of angry citizens as cheers of delight and admiration. (Omicida m. murderous)

Hollow Hellequin Puppets and Hollow Harlequin Puppets
The Hollow Harlequin(males) and Hellequin(females) are created by the Mad Harlequin, Lothario Omicida. These corporal constructs house the spirits of those killed by Lothario. They are completely under his control via the puppet strings they control their movements.

Priestess Princess, Teoxochitl
Back long before the Spanish conquistadors came to the new world, there was an unusual Aztec village in the Sierra de Miquiztli, a long forgotten range of mountains translated means 'Mountains of Death'. The city itself in these mountains was called Yoallialtepetl or Night City. The rituals and costumes of this group of Aztec seemed different from many other clans. They we're a darker sect, more barbaric, ruthless and cunning. Cannibalism was part of daily ritual, sacrifice which was seen as an honour and horror. The leader of these people was a woman, a young and beautiful princess, Teoxochitl. Teoxochitl was also a priestess, and her goal was to bring eternal night to the world as so her city would further thrive in the darkness. They specialized in growing foods that only would grow at night, adopted their vision till near perfect at night. That however caused them to not work during the day or even emerge from the sunless dwellings. When the Conquistadors came they we're faced with the horror of the dark dwellers in the mountain. They however had no trouble wiping out Teoxochitl and Yoallialtepetl during a daytime attack. Instead of taking over the village it was simply purged of it's citizens and left to rot. Teoxochitl however leapt from the highest peak in the Sierra de Miquiztli as to die by her own hand then that of an invader.
(translations)
Teoxochitl, Nahuatl m. godly flower, or sacred flower
Sierra de Miquiztli M mountians of death
Miquiztli --- pronounced (mee-KEEZ-tlee). Mictlan is the Nahuatl word for the realm of death
yoalli m. night
altepetl m. city

Blood Soaked Count, Vald Dracul
Many feared the great impaler in life, some even still feared him after his death. It now seems Vald Dracul, the bloodied, bloody thirsty and all around sanguine Count of Wallchia has risen once more to continue with his well blood soaked campaign.

Arthurian Sage, Merlin the Wicked
King Arthur's mystic adviser and teacher. Though most believe the character of Merlin was only a myth and never really existed. True or not the cult is unaware of how this wraith came into existence. It is possible that a residual dark energies, encumbered with the bloody history of England and the simple notion of Merlin, somehow created this wraith. In short, the Arthurian Sage is in fact a through form entity, not really a traditional wraith.

Gunslinger Reaper, Malachi "the Fatal" Flintlock
In the old west, every great as well as every terrible gunslinger, lawman, cowboy seems to met with the same fate, one Fatal bullet. It only takes the one to do it. There is little record of a Malachi Flintlock in the early days of America. the general consensus is that he was one lucky fellow. in every gun fight he was in, he seemed to never miss, and never be hit. It did of course all change, when a stray bullet, fired accidentally brought him down. After his death many legends arose however about a Western style Reaper, a kind of bad luck creature that would cause guns to miss fire, triggers to jam, as well as other "Fatal" errors to occur. Eventually such rumours ceased and The Western Reaper and Malachi Flintlock faded into the obscurity of history. That was however until he decided to come back with vengeance and start to terrorize the present day west in ways he could have never during his life. It became clear that Malachi "the Fatal" Flintlock was in fact the Western Reaper, as every opponent he has faced meets with the same end, staring down the barrel of his Colt.

Lost Tsarina, Anastasia of Russia (Class 7)
Many believed that the Grand Duchess Anastasia had died when her family was overthrown and murdered; some speculated she escaped and is still alive to this very date. It is unsure of how the Lost Tsarina, Anastasia of Russia manifested but it is clear she is trying to seize control of all Russia. Her appearance both shocks and bewilders the Cult of Black Chaos, as she seemed to come into existence of her own accord and she appears to be "older" then she was in life. She appears to be an elevated Frost Wraith for when she moves the ground nether her "feet" freezes over. However, unlike the cold chieftain Magne Skullfrost who is like a fierce blizzard, the Lost Tsarina seems to be more like a snowflake with its edges sharpened to razor point. She has taken up residence in the Red Square, covering it with snow and ice and constructing a large fortress in the fashion of the Tzar's Palace. She has started construction of an army of ghost like creatures made from ice. She has plunged almost all of Moscow into a state of perpetual winter. Almost all of the wraiths in the her control are twisted variations of the Frost Wraith.

Ahkmenasptek Wraith of the Pharaoh's Curse class 5, then 7 then 9
Of course you've heard of King Tutankhamen, Great Ramses, the Beautiful Cleopatra or maybe even Amenhotep III. But how many of you can tell me about the unholy Ahkmenasptek? Ahkmenasptek was once a great pharaoh of Egypt. His reign might not be known to date; Unless one is an avid explorer in occult studies. Ahkmenasptek was one of the most cruel and wicked of all the great Egyptian Pharaohs. He was a worshiper of the dark god of chaos Set. His priests sacrificed hundreds upon thousands of serpents in his name (Set's and the Pharaoh's). Ahkmenasptek death was almost ironic as he was overthrown and tossed into a deep pit of countless venomous snakes. Ahkmenasptek vowed from that dank hole in the earth to have is vengeance upon the lands Thousands of years later when archeologist stumbled upon the ruins of Ahkmenasptek tombs they would end up releasing something of unspeakable evil. Everyone knows about King Tut's curse. How it killed off all those who were involved in the excavation of his tomb. Ahkmenasptek curse was far worse. It did not wait to kill of the men who found him in days or weeks, months even years. No, Ahkmenasptek's curse killed them off within minutes of the tombs opening. Those men and woman suffered the most horrible deaths. Their flesh melted off their bone, their hearts exploded in their chests and their blood curtailing screams could be heard throughout the land of Egypt. Something unique about the Pharaoh is that unlike every other wraith he seems to be immune to the Wraith Queen's powers of control. Thus he is the only wraith with freewill. In fact his birth is unique too for he was not given "life" by the Wraith Queen. His contemptible spirit languished for millennia. His hatred and pure bile kept him going until his tomb was opened. As he acts within the cults interest they see no threat in him. However there has been whispers that Ahkmenasptek might seek to overthrow the Wraith Queen and to take control of every wraith.

The Maharajah
Maharajah wraith lives in a desert palace, which has fallen into a broken state of disrepair and has become deserted. It is however filled to the brim with riches which have been left untouched. He lives alone, besides a few spectral servants. Has a loyal, old and decrepitude but still human vizier as well. The Maharajah began to stir when the great pharaoh Ahkmenasptek started to rampage and conquer the mortal countries. The Maharajah never having allied himself to the cult decided to leave it alone, just like himself wished to be left alone. his peace however would not last long when the pharaoh entered to crumbling palace to comfort the maharajah. He asked wear his alliances fell and if he wished to continue existing in this forgotten and sandy tomb it had better be to him. the Maharajah was outraged but told the pharaoh he is allied to no one. This seemed to satisfy Ahkmenasptek but warned if the Maharajah crossed him, he would be destroyed. and with that the pharaoh and his demon ilk felt. infuriated the Maharajah told his vizier to start preparation. when he was ready, the Maharajah would stand against the pharaoh for his insolence.

The Seven Deadly Wraiths, Sin Itself Incarnate
These wraiths are a twisted variation of some of literature greatest characters. All the wraiths are Rank 9.

Infectious Juliet (Lust)
A Victim of Love...and a Monster of Lust.
Covetous Morgaine (envy)
Jealous of her half brother's throne, she will continue to plot the downfall of his empire. Trained in magics in Avalon by the Lady of the Lake. She had relations with her half-brother and birthed a son who would one day kill him.
Egotistical Katherina (pride)

Stagnant Porthos (Sloth)
Unyielding Ahab (Wrath)

Once young and innocent...now relentless in the pursuit of the world's offerings.

A Lost Library, Clockwork Wraiths and The Vanishing Scholar
Clockwork Wraiths, "Ingenuity of Antiquity"
Upon discovering the Lost Library, the Cult finds some curious plans and diagrams all detailing creatures known as a Clockwork Wraiths. The plans are stilling being fully deciphered, but did yield some information on how to maintain and some uses of said creatures. Even more remarkable is the Cult finds a working some Clockwork Wraiths within the Library. Filling books and doing general maintenance. The problem is though in trying to study the creatures can cause them to malfunction and collapse. The collapsing releases dark energy and steam which quickly dissipates but seems highly toxic to both human and non-human beings. It is most baffling however that when a Clockwork Wraith "dies", within a few hours a new wraith appears but looks as if it is hundreds of years old, as if nothing every happened to the first wraith. It is thought that some ancient machine or factory is producing them inside the Library but is just hidden from the rest of the site.
The Vanishing Scholar "Keys, Clocks and Butterflies"
When the Cult of Black Chaos stumbled upon an ancient Library they assumed it was nothing of any importance. That is until they discovered a cache of Wraiths unlike any other. They seemed to be made of clockwork machinery and also seemed to be electronic as well as supernaturally powered. Their discovery was then dwarfed when another wraith appearing to be a Man, dressed in old world attire. Before they Cult could approach or even blink the wraith vanished, along with a few books, and scrolls. Searching the Lost Library proved to uncover that this library contained the very secrets of Unraveling time, the universe and of thought itself. However most of the books and works had been decoded to prevent them from being discovered. Original copies of several old grimoires, codex and tomes seemed to be collected here, A necromincon, even a malfarus mallcaum, "the Witchhunter's Bible" and countless others. Scrolls containing diagrams of inventions by De Vinci, philosophical notes by some of the most famous thinkers, one's that no man has seen before. The cult also found pages from an old journal. They believe the journal belongs to the Vanishing Scholar, the spirit who seems to own or at least maintain, the Lost Library.
