Eidolon of Revenant
The Eidolon is head of Revenant, a secret society of necromancers in House Siltevelar in Isolabirre. The Eidolon is also the secret head of the Cathedral of Thalatte.
Currently, the Eidolon is Dhathridh Gowriat'Siltevelar. She is a powerful necromancer, but is careful to hide her abilities, as necromancy is strictly forbidden in Isolabirre. The Yfeljang, Edan, prohibits any other person from engaging in any necromantic arts, and the life of anyone practicing necromancy other than Edan is ended, usually painfully.m
Career
Qualifications
The Eidolon is chosen by unanimous acclamation from among the living Shades of Revenant. The chosen is usually the most powerful necromancer of the Shades, but not always. In some past cases, the organizational skills or vision of a Shade has outweighed his or her outright necromantic power. As the true but unacknowledged leader of the Cathedral of Thalatte, organizational skills and vision are extremely valuable.
Perception
Purpose
The Eidolon secretly leads Revenant and the Cathedral of Thalatte. Revenant is working to rebuild the power and prestige of House Siltevelar after it was cast out by House Zaquarn, as well as research and refine the practice of necromancy, an utterly forbidden school of magic in Isolabirre. The Cathedral of Thalatte backs House Siltevelar by obtaining resources needed for necromantic rituals, including Human and occasionally Elvirim victims. The Eidolon, Dhathridh Gowriat'Siltevelar, also has an uneasy alliance with some Vampirim, specifically Desdemona Bátoriová, for whom she provides victims in exchange for reagents and methods for necromantic spells.
Operations
Workplace
Revenant meets far beneath Isolabirre in the Unknown Depths, shielded by powerful magic, to practice their forbidden necromantic arts, unnoticed and unseen - they hope - by Edan or the Interface, Sazzok Tygowriat'Zaquarn.
Dangers & Hazards
The Eidolon faces dangers stemming from her practice of forbidden necromancy. Besides the dangers of being discovered by Sazzok Tygowriat'Zaquarn or Edan himself, necromancy is a hazardous school of magic. The dead do not want to be awakened, and summoning undead, demons, and devils, creatures of rage and evil, will lead to a fate worse than death if powerful guarding and shielding spells are not set in place perfectly.
