Xalravine the Bloom That Wilts You ☀ Origin: Indigo Sun
The Demon of Beautiful Horror
“Its voice is a lullaby buried in screams. Its face is a masterpiece that paints itself with your fears.”
Name: Xalravine, the Bloom That Wilts You Origin: Indigo Sun Xalravine exists not merely to horrify, but to transcend trauma into reverence. It’s summoned by artists who want to capture agony as beauty, or vislae who long to understand the sublime through the grotesque. Core Traits Trait Detail Level 8 (can be pushed to 10 when revealing its true form) Desideratum To plant one perfect terror in every dreamer Taboo Cannot bear to be seen without a witness’s admiration Domains Dreams, Memory, Aesthetic, Despair Motivation To distort the threshold between beauty and madness Form Ever-shifting: it often appears as a breathtaking humanoid draped in writhing silk petals that whisper your darkest secrets Magical Effects Whispers of the Bloom: On contact, victims lose the ability to distinguish pleasure from pain for 1d4 days. Aesthetic Shatter: Forces a target to relive their most beautiful memory until it becomes unbearable (Level 8 defense to resist madness). Gilded Mask: Can disguise itself as any beloved figure from the target’s past. Eternal Composition: Absorbs the emotions of its victims and manifests them into tangible art (usually disturbing and prophetic sculptures or songs). Summoning Conditions Must occur during twilight on the day of a lunar eclipse. Requires an artwork created in grief and burned to ash, then mixed with your own blood. The summoner must describe a personal tragedy using only positive language. Interaction Hooks (for GMs) A local gallery is showing a new exhibit titled “The Ache Divine”—none of the artists remember making it. The dreams of a whole district grow increasingly vivid and emotionally devastating; each person wakes with the same fragment of music stuck in their mind. A vislae’s shadow claims it has been “blessed” by Xalravine and wishes to be freed to seek it.
