L24.208 Nuthkm, Goddess of Doused Ash

-

A minor goddess of the Hundexac underbark region found on the Banded Qeleres. Due to the great inaccessibility of the region caused by high densities of banded thorns in the Hundexac Underbark, cultures that developed within greatly differ from those of the surface with Nuthkm being part of a unique pantheon of the Thousand Deities worshipped by the underbark kingdoms of Qrulu, Udmur and Aagasaat.

Nuthkm is primarly worshipped by farmers and herbalists who as part of the ritual of crop cultivation erect pillars of wet ash which trickle across their fields. Ash must be doused by waters from a Cave Shrine of Nuthkm, which possess strange properties that cause ash to snake about fields to deliver bounty to various plants. In these shrines, Nuthkm is depicted as a woman holding a two vases - one receiving water from the cave ceiling, which travels through her body to release water from the other.

L24.1 Chameleon Riders of Yrhenu

-

Skilled riders of nimble Chameleons capable of adhereing the the stalks and leaves of Qelerian plants.  They wield large halberds forged from Bramber, sheperd and reap the herds of Frogstock that make the same plants their pasture. While some prefer a bucolic life of herding Frogstock in groups of three to five, there are a few in who build a much greater kinship with their Chamelons, and are capable of blending into the environment. These master riders seek larger prey from hunting Mudtoads at the lower strata of the Stalks.

D24.185 Prison of the Lothgem

-
Lothgem, a hideous uncut spinel the size of a fist levitating above a tarnished silver pedestal, surrounded by walls made of mosaics of precious jewels depicting praying Dwarven monks.  It is dull to the point it darkens the light about it. When held, it repels all manner of jewels, crystals and precious stones, and may even repel magical precious stones when on a 1 of a 1d6 roll.  The Lothgem is sentient but reticent, and utterly despises all creatures who wear any sort of precious jewelry, and may forcefully repel such creatures adornments depending on its whims. Conversely, it likes the company of tarnished, rusty or scratched stones and may decide to accompany those adorned by them.
