[366 Days of Monsters] Day 049/366 - T'qin the Double Mantis
🕑 Added 2020-02-19 01:05:13 +0000 UTCThe Black Swamps of Barkor are home to more than just the vile creations of the danaavrakt. T'qin the Double Mantis, a creature of near-divine intelligence and wisdom, makes its home there. T'qin is a horse-sized praying mantis with two heads. Both heads share the same mind and T'qin sees itself as a single entity.
The Unbound and Cult of the Double Mantis. Joining T'qin are its warlock forces, the Unbound, plus other creatures drawn to T'qin's nigh-omniscience. Even if T'qin was vulnerable to attack (it's not) the mantis has a veritable army of devout fanatics who would gladly die on its behalf. These followers are called, appopriately, the Cult of the Double Mantis.
"Ninety-three." Since T'qin first appeared in 983 AT, the double mantis has only spoken eight words total. In 1040 AT, mere seconds before the Hand of the Eight appeared on The Great Clock in Castlegrasp, T'qin's two heads spoke a single word in unison: ninety-three. Only the infamous warlock Vadriken was there to hear the heads speak. Vadriken would not understand what the phrase meant for five years until he heard rumor of a child named "Ninety-three" living in a town north of The Wound.

Wow, Psychic Torrent is BRUTAL! What a fun mechanic... I think I'm ready for my players to hate me.
