Summary: Crowley realizes that the only way to save Aziraphale might be to follow his lead.

☆~☆~☆~☆~☆

Crowley sits at the edge of the sea. Chalk-white cliffs stretch to either side of him. Salt-heavy wind tugs at his hair, his clothes, and he closes his eyes and breathes it deep into his lungs.

You could come back. To heaven.

His eyes snap open, yellow irises blown wide, erasing the humanity from his gaze. He bares his teeth, jaw clenching so hard it aches as the memories assault him, the same conversation on endless repeat behind his eyes. He grabs the first thing his hand touches, a large black stone, and hurls it. He watches it soar out over the ocean before it falls with barely a splash in the crashing waves.

"Damn it," he hisses, dropping his head into his hands, gripping fistfuls of his auburn hair until his scalp begins to protest. Seven days since Aziraphale left. It might as well have been months, years, for how the time seems to have stretched before him, well and truly alone for the first time in six millennia. His entire being aches vaguely, as though the absence of the angel tore something from him, ripped a hole somewhere within. It's the kind of wound that he knows won't heal. Not with time, or distance. Not with any distraction or attempt to forget.

He finally drops his hands back into his lap and sighs, a bone-deep, weary sigh that feels like it's dragging his very soul to the surface. He counters it with another deep inhale of the ocean-soaked air. When his eyes open again, the serpent has receded. He lifts his gaze to the sky, a muted blue studded with gray clouds that threaten rain.

"What were you thinking, angel," Crowley asks the sky in a hoarse voice, gravelly with disuse. He thinks of Aziraphale, in heaven, surrounded by the same feathered dicks that would have seen him exterminated in Hellfire, working with the damn Metatron, and his heart threatens to eject itself straight from his chest. "What the hell were you thinking?"

His every single instinct screams to Save Him. March straight into Heaven's hallowed halls and find the angel, throw him over his shoulder and take the elevator directly back to Earth, SAYONARA SUCKERS.

But he can't. His angel doesn't want to be saved. Not this time.

If I'm in charge... I can make a difference.

"Do you really think so," Crowley speculates idly to no one, "You think one angel, even an Archangel, even The Supreme Archangel, can stand in the way of the machine? Derail The Great Plan?" He shakes his head. Aziraphale is many things, intelligent to a fault, determined to the end. And the truth of it is that he's actually not an idiot. But he can't possibly believe... not really...

But he does, doesn't he. Because Aziraphale also has faith. And hope. And he does believe, believes with his whole soul, that there is goodness at the heart of Heaven, if he can just chisel through the thousands of years of crystallized corruption to get to it. To make a better world. A world where Heaven isn't standing over it - over them - with a flaming sword, ready to end everything.

A world where, maybe, they could be together.

Together. That's what he had said.

We can be together.

I need you.

Crowley grasps those words in his mind, clings to them like a lifeline, and holds them tight. Those words feel pure. They feel like truth. Aziraphale had to have known he would never return to Heaven. But he asked anyway. And he left despite Crowley's refusal to join him. Why?

Because, Crowley reminds himself, Aziraphale is an angel of principle. An angel who fights for what he believes in. Aziraphale is up there, fighting, right now. Crowley's hands tighten into fists. He feels his body shaking with the effort of trying to remain calm. It's not working.

Aziraphale is fighting, even though that meant he had to leave everything behind... Even though it meant leaving Crowley behind... He did it because it was the right thing to do.

Crowley gets to his feet abruptly. Aziraphale is fighting, and what is he doing? Maybe he can't be an angel himself, and maybe he can't steal his angel back from Heaven. But he doesn't have to sit around and wait for The End Of The World to happen. There is something he can do. If Aziraphale is determined to try to take down Upstairs from the inside, why can't he do the same from Downstairs? After all, Hell is absent its Grand Duke, and he always knew he would look damn good in a crown.

Crowley lets the Serpent take hold of him once again, golden eyes glowing, teeth sharpening into venom-soaked fangs. Snake skin accents his arms, creeps up the back of his neck, and his fingers are tipped with black claws. Finally, he allows his ink-black wings to unfurl. If he's going to be a Demon Prince of Hell, he had better look the part.

The wind gusts around him, and suddenly there is no one on the cliff overlooking the sea, and no sign anyone ever was, save a circle of scorched earth to mark the descension of a demon to Hell.

Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed this foray into my imagination.

This started as "Crowley sits on a cliff" and this is where it went. Which was a totally different direction than I'd initially imagined. I guess what it comes down to is that, while I love some Angsty Crowley, I don't want him to mope forever. And I don't want him to be stuck thinking Aziraphale left because he didn't love him. He knows Az better than that! And, to be honest, I LOVE the idea of Crowley as Az's celestial opposite, Grand Duke of Hell, taking on the system from both sides. Dunno. Sounds fun to me.

The Northern Mountain clan chiefs are just so adorable and bad-ass.

From inviting themselves to a wedding and celebrating:

For that much Jon was grateful … but he did not believe for a moment that two such hoary old warriors would have hied down from their hills for that alone. Each had brought a tail of fighting men—five for Old Flint, twelve for The Norrey, all clad in ragged skins and studded leathers, fearsome as the face of winter. Some had long beards, some had scars, some had both; all worshiped the old gods of the north, those same gods worshiped by the free folk beyond the Wall. Yet here they sat, drinking to a marriage hallowed by some queer red god from beyond the seas - Jon, ADwD

To apologizing to Asha for calling her ‘cunt’ 😂

Morgan Liddle was the second of three sons, so the other wolves called him Middle Liddle, though not often in his hearing. It was Morgan who had almost slain Asha in the fight by Deepwood Motte. He had come to her later, on the march, to beg her pardon … for calling her cunt in his battle lust, not for trying to split her head open with an axe. - The King’s Prize, ADwD

To the amazing and hype declarations of how they are going to save Lady Arya Stark, no matter what:

Finally, after a nightmarish day when the column advanced a bare mile and lost a dozen horses and four men, Lord Peasebury turned against the northmen. “This march was madness. More dying every day, and for what? Some girl?”

“Ned’s girl,” said Morgan Liddle.

“Ned’s girl,” echoed Big Bucket Wull.

“Winter is almost upon us, boy. And winter is death. I would sooner my men die fighting for the Ned’s little girl than alone and hungry in the snow, weeping tears that freeze upon their cheeks. No one sings songs of men who die like that. As for me, I am old. This will be my last winter. Let me bathe in Bolton blood before I die. I want to feel it spatter across my face when my axe bites deep into a Bolton skull. I want to lick it off my lips and die with the taste of it on my tongue.” “Aye!” shouted Morgan Liddle. “Blood and battle!” Then all the hill-men were shouting, banging their cups and drinking horns on the table, filling the king’s tent with the clangor.  - The King’s Prize, ADwD

To mocking the likes of bigots like Ser Godry wanting to burn people to satisfy the Lord of Light:

“What has your southron god to do with snow?” demanded Artos Flint. His black beard was crusted with ice. “This is the wroth of the old gods come upon us. It is them we should appease.”

“Aye,” said Big Bucket Wull. “Red Rahloo means nothing here. You will only make the old gods angry. They are watching from their island.” - The Sacrifice, ADwD

I hope they survive Stannis Baratheon’s Battle of Ice at Winterfell and stick around long enough to join with Jon Snow’s campaign and support him as KITN.

Other Women and of Purer Blood by @saintsenara

Summary: Narcissa is adrift, rattling around Malfoy Manor, when an equally lonely man comes into her lonely life.

Thoughts: I have been wanting a story that contextualises the sexual charge and familiarity we see between Snape and Narcissa in Spinner's End for ages (canon compliant, that is) and this story is a lovely backstory to that. It also captures Snape in transition: Snape still ironing out his northern accent, how his movements are still spider-like. He is in the process of becoming the adult Snape we see in canon: whose speeches are a performance, and how he irons out the awkwardness of his movements in adulthood.

Excerpt:

Snape looks completely wrong in the flowery bower where Dobby has set out tea. His sallow awkwardness seems to repel the summer, even though Narcissa suspects he must be baking in his layers of shabby black robes. 

He doesn’t have the fine manners of the sort of person who normally comes to tea with the Malfoys. He eats quickly, and slurps his tea, and looks at the cakes with the greedy eyes of a boy who isn’t used to treats. Lucius would be disgusted, to have a greasy half-blood at his table spraying crumbs everywhere. She imagines the expression of horrified confusion on his pointy face and giggles.

Snape immediately goes scarlet and puts down his tea-cup.

In Infinite Remorse of Soul by @perverse-idyll

Summary: Albus Dumbledore never makes the same mistake twice. Certainly not in love.

Thoughts: My very first Snumbledore, which is a frightening meditation on the very vast power dynamics between Snape and Dumbledore from the hilltop scene in Deathly Hallows and expanding the very personal reaction Dumbledore had towards the wayward young Death Eater. Perverse Idyll is among the best writers in the fandom, brimming with words and fantastic imagery that just stays with you.

Excerpt:

"My boy," Albus says almost kindly, because kindness is something that mystifies his young servant. Severus' eyes dart upwards, apprehensive, accusing, and Albus can see the darkness inside the boy clawing to reach him. Guilt calling to guilt.

The moment quivers and thins until he judges that Severus has had enough and is about to rebel. A harsh rasp draws his attention. He looks down at the bruised, blackened fingernail scraping across stone.

"My boy," he sighs. "You never fail to disgust me."

The ritual word strikes Severus down. His obstinate body shrinks, wings of hair flapping forward to shut his scowling face from view.

To Build A Home by @mblematic

Summary: 1978-1981: Sirius stumbles on something in the woods, Sirius and Remus stumble into each other, everyone stumbles into the war.

Thoughts: First War hijinks, dysfunctional Wolfstar - I was fed! I cannot rave enough about the gorgeous, subtle writing of relationships (the author really captures this raw, visceral vulnerability between two friends who are attracted to each other and how it explodes in heightened tension of war) and there is some fantastic world building and mirroring. Excerpt: Later, Sirius would remember almost everything from this night with crystal clarity except the sky, which in reality was clouded but in his memory would be open, star-studded, expansive and unknowable as the future. He’d remember, correctly, that the wolf was different than it had been at Hogwarts. He’d remember the restless, brutal, snarling fury, all of it undercut with a fear so intense it had its own meaty weight. The night took Sirius by surprise and he spent the whole long stretch of it trying to put himself back on track, trying to reacquaint himself with the wolf, and trying to convince them both that they remembered each other. At one point he found himself literally between Remus’ jaws, helpless and pliant, mewling like a supplicant. This, too, he would remember for the rest of his life. 

Second Life by Cassandra, nwhiker Summary: What happens when two men are given a second chance.

Thoughts: I finally got around to reading one of the most recommended Snirius fics out there. Beautiful, understated, deeply emotional - the authors take you on a journey with the two of them post war. It also feels....old?? As in, the kind of perspective this fic has is the perspective of someone in late 30s (which both Snape and Sirius are in this fic, post war). There is a fragile, "who else will understand what our generation went through?" running through the vein of this fic.

Excerpt:

It was like walking into a tiny garden in the tropics, and he was reminded of some of the places he'd visited while on the run after his escape from Azkaban. There were hundreds of plants, most of them unfamiliar, and a large table was filled with orchids. There was a tree, which turned out to be a frangipani, its white flowers soft and sweet. A delicate white flower with an exquisite fragrance that Snape said was bouvardia. Along one wall were plants Sirius recognised from Potions classes, wolfsbane and asphodel, wormwood and sopohorous, a shrivelfig tree, and others he'd seen but didn't know the names of.

"I'm not supposed to have them," Snape said.

Sirius turned to him. Snape was staring down an orchid, brushing planting mix from the edge of its pot.

Al Aaraaf by eldritcher

Summary: There is a place between heaven and hell.

Thoughts: An unsettling, poetic horror fic featuring a grieving Walburga Black. The whole fic is structured like a poem, with rhythm and repetition and metaphor shining through.

Excerpt:

He had her face. He had her scowl. He had her loathsome, loathing heart that mourned and loved. Hell dwelled in him, as a warm and heartful thing calved of mother.

The last of earth's make she held was son. His hands were placed in prayerful clasp over her belly.

The lamb in her was of Tartary, born of son fed and killed with milk and honey, birthed of widow's mourning.

"It is all right," Sirius said, and held her to him as if she weren't damned.

Runaway Boys by Delphi

Summary: Severus dreams of pirates, and Lily closes the nursery window. Thoughts: I'm not sure if I have recommended this fic before, but I am recommending it again, just in case. This is a wonderfully strange coming of age, a tale of puberty told in dreams/ fantasies featuring Snape and Captain Hook. Excerpt:

"Severus S—" He cuts himself off and then tentatively amends: "Prince. Severus Prince."

It's a better name, he's decided. His new friends at school know the Princes, but they've never heard of any Snapes.

"That is a fine name, Mr. Prince," the man says. "As for me, I am Captain James Hook."

A large hand extends into the branches, and after a moment, Severus carefully leans down and shakes it.

"Pleased to meet you," Severus says.

"Are those friends of yours?" the captain asks, nodding towards the neighbouring island, where the boys are now riding wild ponies bareback, jousting with each other using lances made of hollow reeds.

Severus shrugs. Of course, he thinks, the man would rather know them.

Note: Please check the pairings and tags in each of these fics and keep in mind your own triggers :)

Would it be ok to request a Loki fic that's an AU where they don't have powers and where they are exploring their genderqueer/fluid/nonbinary identity? Like it's still new and they have to use Halloween as an excuse to "dress girly". Also Thor is an amazing supportive big bro and would be just a protective teddy bear.

Genderfluid Loki (They/Them)

Val-Hallow’s Eve

NO POWERS AU

Featured/Warnings: Loki uses They/Them pronouns. Genderfluid Goth Loki. Exploration of gender expression. Implied Bisexual Thor. Off-hand mention of alcohol consumption. Adoptive Supportive Siblings.

Loki had always adored Halloween, it was their favorite. It was the night of the year people could be anyone they wanted to be: whether it be someone else or their true selves. Loki knew if they had the ability, they would transform themself into anyone they pleased. Loki wished they could just wave their hand and go back and forth between whichever identity they felt was right. Loki imagined all the ways they could use such an ability, the pranks would be so grand.

Loki had known who they were for a while, however they had never had the chance to express themself in public. Loki had practiced makeup and cultivating outfits at home, though they were always concerned about the ridicule. Loki knew Thor would be by their side and would knock some sense into anyone who dared to criticize his brother, though Loki didn’t like depending on him.

The most Loki could usually manage in public was fixing their hair, painting their nails, and maybe on a good day some light messy eyeshadow. Though Loki always wanted to do more. Halloween was just the right night to do so. Loki got up early that morning so they could begin the dolling up process. It had been hours since Loki had started, and they were almost to the finishing touches. Thor had just awoken from his deep slumber, long blonde hair tangled and messy. He stumbled against the bathroom doorway, if he didn’t know it was Halloween he would’ve almost mistaken Loki for some stranger in their house, “you look quite different”

“It’s a good different right,”

“Absolutely.”

“You’re almost done right?”

“Yes, just on the finishing touches”

“Good I have to start getting ready soon,”

“You’re still doing that glam metal look right?”

“Well of course!”

“Well you don’t have to do much for your hair— it’s already teased to the Gods!”

“Here I was going to ask you for your expertise, but since you’re going to be so asinine, I’ll get ready myself.”

“No! You’re not going anywhere with me looking like a disaster!”

“That’s the spirit!”

After Loki finished their makeup, and assisting Thor getting into his costume, they hit the town. Loki was dressed in a long black gown, a slit up the left leg showing elegantly torn fishnet tights. They had adorned a laced up corset, Loki decided to take their lucky twin daggers with them; one stuck down in their left leg’s garterbelt, the other wedged into the front of the corset. Loki’s ravenous wavy hair was delicately teased. Loki adorned several elaborate pieces of golden jewelry, including a horned crown with intricate chains and jewels cascading down the sides of their face and hair.

Thor however adorned red leather pants, a thick black studded belt with studded wrist cuffs to match, a belt slung across his bare chest.

They spend the whole night bar hopping. Loki getting hit on by multiple types of people, men, women, and anyone in between absolutely were enthralled with their beauty that night. People often got switched up what they thought Loki identified as, but regardless they loved sparking confusion and curiosity into others. It was like a personal mischievous ruse aimed solely at the gender roles of society.

Loki even got the honor to dance with a few fellow queer people at the various bars they went to. Both him and Thor were the objects of desire and flirtation of several of the bars’ other patrons. Loki enjoyed being able to share a spotlight with their brother rather than fighting for it, though typically with Thor it wasn’t intentional it just happened. Loki felt like they should be equals, however when Loki won the costume contest twice at two of the local bars, they couldn’t help but feel a little superior and carry themself with regency the rest of the night.

While walking the sidewalks on the way to another bar, Thor strikes up a conversation, “You seem to be having a great time. I’m glad you joined me tonight!”

Loki was grateful they were invited, despite their often reclusive tendencies, Loki did enjoy going out and being around others. Especially if it was garnering their attention. Though due to their uncertainty with their gender expression, it left them feeling awkward to even be in public. Thor always invited Loki, however. Loki was always worried Thor would stop inviting them due to the amount of times they’ve declined or rainchecked. It may be the alcohol in their system buzzing honesty through their veins when they respond.

“Oh fully, I didn’t expect people to be so accepting.. Though it may just be tonight.”

“Is tonight the only night you want to dress like this?”

“I think I should do this more often, I feel more .. like myself.”

Thor wraps his arm around his sibling’s shoulders, “I’m glad to hear that, do you think you’d dress like this every day of your life?”

“I don’t know, I can't see into the future. I’m not a witch.”

“Oh? Then why are you dressed like one?”

They both laugh for a moment, but then Loki sigh happily, “I do enjoy looking like a shapeshifting androgynous witch.”

“It’s quite fitting for you, I think you should do what feels right to you, to Hel with what the world thinks!”

“Thank you, brother”

To be appreciated by their sibling, meant beyond worlds to them. To know in the battle of life they would fight alongside one another despite their past trials and tribulations, fueled their confidence to continue on the stroll of the rainbow bridge of self acceptance.

Fests with a Cause: How Music Festivals Drive Social Change by Gary Dranow

Music festivals have long been the epitome of unbridled celebration and unity. Amidst the pulsating beats, electric atmosphere, and waving flags, a new trend has emerged: the intertwining of festivals with social activism. More than just offering musical escapades, festivals are now using their platforms to spark conversations, drive change, and rally for causes.

1. Woodstock: The Genesis of Activism & Music

It would be amiss to begin anywhere other than the iconic Woodstock of 1969. While remembered mostly for its legendary performances, it was also a hub of anti-Vietnam War sentiment, civil rights advocacy, and the blossoming environmental movement. A merging of music and mission, Woodstock set a precedent for festivals to come.

2. Glastonbury's Green Quest

Glastonbury, one of the world's largest and most famed festivals, has been a long-time advocate for the environment. Initiatives such as banning plastic bottles, promoting carpooling, and its "Leave No Trace" campaign highlight its commitment to eco-responsibility. Beyond environmental causes, it also hosts speakers and workshops on social justice, making it a nexus of music and activism.

3. Afropunk: A Celebration of Black Culture

Born in Brooklyn, Afropunk is more than just a festival; it's a movement. Celebrating black culture, it offers a space of inclusivity while challenging stereotypes. Highlighting issues like racial injustice and LGBTQ+ rights, Afropunk blends the lines between music, art, and advocacy.

4. Global Citizen Festival: Music Meets Philanthropy

Held annually, the Global Citizen Festival stands unique in its mission to end extreme poverty. Attracting big-name artists, attendees don't buy tickets but earn them through activism, by supporting causes such as education, health, and clean water. It’s a testament to the power of combining star-studded lineups with meaningful missions.

5. Rock en Seine: A Feminist Movement

France's Rock en Seine made headlines when it committed to promoting gender equality in its lineup. By addressing the gender disparity common in festival lineups, it not only offers a more inclusive stage but also pushes for broader industry change.

The Resounding Note of Change

Festivals have evolved from being mere musical showcases to spaces that resonate with the times' pressing issues. The confluence of art and activism offers a potent platform to advocate for change, be it through the lyrics of a song or the ethos of the event.

In a world where every voice and act counts, these festivals serve as reminders that change is not just about discussions in hallowed halls but also in the spirited choruses of a song.

In harmony with change,

Gary Dranow.

A wild Savaasi

My stupidly long Halloween comic is done!!

[Image description: Demon + Witch by Ksci-Janitor Panel 1: a red cloud POOFS in the middle of a satanic star drawn on the ground. The star has lit candles surrounding it.

Panel 2: Demon Hermann appears, he's wearing a red jacket, a heavy studded choker, thin glasses, and is holding a clipboard. He has small black horns on his head and a small flame of fire hovers between them. His forehead also has an inverted, red cross etched on it. He says, "Whatever you're about to do, please cease-"

Panel 3: He opens his eyes and sighs, looking displeased. "AH, you again..."

Panel 4: Witchy Newt blushes and waves his hand. He has large round glasses on and a big witch's hat. "UH, hi again! Sorry-"

Panel 5: Demon Hermann writes on his clipboard, "This is the third time this fall I've had to come stop a ritual violation. Are you truly this dense or are you just in need of some company?"

Panel 6: Witchy Newt, blushes again and looks off. Thinking, "BOTH." Says, "N-no! I'm, uh, just really that stupid, haha..."

Panel 7: Hermann, frustrated, rips a paper off his clipboard. "You know you don't have the clearance to raise the dead this close to All Hallow's Eve without the permission of the Demon Master Herself and if I catch you doing it AGAIN, I'll have to take you with me."

Panel 8: Newt, smiling with heart and question marks floating around him, "Take me...on a date?"

Panel 9: Hermann, at first explaining but then changing to a bewildered face, "No, take you to get tort-E-EXCUSE ME?"

Panel 10: Newt, looking nervous and fidgeting with his wand, "A date? D-do you wanna go on a date? With me??"

Panel 11: Hermann looks down at his clipboard, "I-er-have a-a lot of work to complete today-" Newt, looking sheepish, "Well, how about AFTER work?"

Panel 12: Hermann hands Newt the ticket. Newt holds out his hand to take it. Hermann says, "I can't possibly eat human food you know-" Newt replies, "It's fine! I'm sure we can figure something out. :)"

Panel 13: Newt, holding the ticket, "Do I seriously have to pay this??"

Panel 14: Hermann, back to looking annoyed, "Yes."

Panel 15: Hermann poofs out of the room again in a puff of red smoke.

Panel 16: The satanic circle is shown with a small piece of paper fluttering down onto it.

Panel 17: The paper is shown with "Call Me XXX-XXXX" written on it. Newt says, "Oh-"

Panel 18: Newt stoops down to take the paper, "FUCK YES, someone's fucking a DEMON tonite!" End ID!]

Souly Damned Saturdays!~

🌼Welcome to Souly Damned Saturdays! I am your host Kit! Today I am going to be taking a break to talk about one of my main characters! I mentioned her a few posts ago but her name is Evelyn Rogers. I am also going to explain how covens work. Let’s get started!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eve’s Contract:

Eve’s soul is unique as it appears to be linked to the past ancestry of humans linked by the Vinculum Infernalis. Due to this her soul is far more powerful and can utilize more of their own abilities. The first contract she ends up bound to is Cubans. In exchange for her life as well as their own protection she works at the club as their little songbird. She becomes an undercover agent to infiltrate the boys enemies or rivals since the human soul has the ability to mask demonic presence. She ends up with a second contract to Costello for other reasons (spoilers). In addition to being able to use the abilities of the boys, the contractee is also able to wield their specific weapons. Each one corresponds to a specific Prince and the higher level the more powerful.

Unbeknownst to Eve her father is none other than one of the three most powerful beings in existence. As such she does not know her true lineage. Her father, Kalthiel, watches her from afar and aids when he is able but she does not know of his involvement. Her conception was a byproduct of her mother’s deal with the Broker. Unfortunately her ancestral blood caused her to be baden and in desperation she made a deal to have a child. A child that would one day be a tri-brid. One of mortal, Celestial, and Infernal blood.

Fusion:

Fusion is an interesting scenario since Eve is contracted to not one but two princes of Hell. She gains many abilities and one of those is being able to fuse her bound soul with that of her demonic counterpart(s) creating a fusion of herself and their own hellish forms. The soul however can only stand so much and if that goes beyond its limit the human soul could be damaged permanently. This form is dangerous for anyone and a last resort at best.  

Eve’s Ancestry /The Vinculum Infernalis:

Humans in this universe do not believe in the existence of monsters very much like our own world. They are nothing but stories and myths. Demons are the exact same. There is a story that may allude to the fact that demons were created with monsters as punishment for humanity's evil. That is neither confirmed or denied. What is known is that demons used to walk the surface regularly a long time ago.

Humans in their lust for power (a very debatable comment) made contracts with these creatures in exchange for their souls, something that demons covet to gain more power themselves. Those that made these contracts became witches/ warlocks, having Infernal blood and magic infused within their very being. As every demon is unique so were the souls. The first covens were formed after 12 survivors managed to break their contracts leaving the magic within their souls present. As they began to have children that magic too was passed down. Humans with any type of magic are extraordinarily rare and one mage soul can rival over 1000 regular human souls. Eve appears to have a connection or blood relation to one of these surviving lines.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other Classifications:

The Legend of Lilith (Lillum): It is unclear if this history happened or not because the Princes refuse to discuss it. (That can’t be good) The truth of this prophecy, or for most harbinger, is that a generation will be born with power equal to that of their fathers. Since the Princes can not have offspring it takes a very specific mix for this to be possible. Such things are up to fate. All that is known is that it will rival the Celestials if it comes to pass as one of Celestial, Infernal, and mortal blood has to be the one...or there could be more. Legends and prophecy tend to be incredibly vague. 

The Covens and their Patrons: After the formation of the Vinculum Infernalis the Princes decide that instead of regarding the mortals with disdain as they did during their Celestial reign they become patrons instead. In total there are 7 covens with a hierarchy of who is the most powerful. They are as follows:  

Coven Names in Prestige Order (greatest to least): 1. Lust - Circle of the Siren (Costello/ Valentine)

2. Pride - Requiem of the Hallowed (Carthus/ Dusk)

3. Envy - Elysium (Sanneth)

4. Wrath - The Acolytes of Flame and Forge (Boss/ Azrin)

5. Greed - Coven of the Blood Moon (Crimson/ Grimm)

6. Sloth - The Desolate Forgotten (Gin)

7. Gluttony - Circle of the Ancients (Ouro)

Those of the first blood line under the Vinculum Infernalis are the most powerful of their coven and seated at a special rank due to their rarity. Unlike those of the first line the members of the coven are not Infernal/Celestial blooded. 

The First Grimoire: Just because their bond and Infernal blood comes from their ancestral line does not mean that they are as powerful as they once were. In fact there is a Grimoire for each specific coven that only a direct descendant from the line can utilize and open. It is incredibly rare and the first bloodline (the ones that first made the deal) are thought to be dead so the books reside in the highest ranks of the 7 covens until such a time comes that they can be opened. There are Grimoire for every acolyte (the book chooses you type deal) but not anywhere close to those labeled the first Grimoire. These tomes are written entirely in High Infernal Script. These are incredibly deadly and powerful Infernal artifacts and each comes with a specific name: 

Lust- Willbinder, Memoire of Blackfire

Pride- Featherfall, Legacy of Pride

Envy- Ash, Oath of Lasting Night

Wrath- Flameward, Boon of Slaughter

Greed- Sapience, Soul of Desecration

Sloth- Draughtbane, Tome of apathy

Gluttony- Apostle, Ledger of the Devourer

Coven Organization (Hierarchy): Each coven is organized by the will of the Prince that is its patron. They can recruit neophytes with no prior ties if they deem them worthy enough to be inducted into the coven. There is still a process and ceremony that needs to be followed. Once the initiation is complete they are tutored by generally a well learned acolyte (think of them as TAs) while Dominus and Magus are the instructors. If they prove their worth then they will be given a grimoire that chooses them to become an Acolyte. They are then placed under a bond similar to the Vinculum Infernalis but not nearly as strong and there is quite a lot of fine print.

*The First Bloods- A specific rank for those that are of the first bloodline. They actually have Infernal/Celestial blood within their veins which makes them some of the most powerful of the witches/warlocks. Their souls are also marked if they are a part of their first bloodline. 

1. Mortiferum Magistrum- The heads of the covens and the most skilled practitioners. They run more of the direct communication between the Infernal Realm (their patrons) and those under their coven. Some have spoken directly to their Patron but for the most part they are dealing with dukes or lords. There is only one of this rank in each coven. 

2. Dominus- The recruiters with approval from the Mortiferum Magistrum. Their job is to maintain the order within the lower levels of the coven. They are also teachers along with the Magus. 

3. Magus- A magus’ job is to teach their acolytes higher level abilities and possibly prepare them for Magus status as well. In each coven there can be an unlimited number of Magus but only 2 or 3 Dominus. 

4. Acolyte- Servants of the coven and the second lowest tier these are the students. 

5. Neophyte- Those that possibly have potential but have not yet proven themselves to the rest of the coven. You have to start as a Neophyte first. The only exception to this are the First Bloods. 

The Cult of the Fallen One (THE LITERAL DEVIL):  

Hedge Witches/Warlocks: The Hedges probably nicknamed as such due to the phrase “hedging one's bets” are dangerous and rebellious. They are mortals with a craving for power and magic that were neither chosen or of the First Bloods. These are the types of mortals that will make contracts with Imps and Changelings in order to reach a certain end. Sometimes that is wealth, power, magic it just depends. They are not Infernal blooded. These are the souls that end up in the Kingdom of Envy under Sanneth. He does not take kindly to greedy and foolish mortals. The Hedges are the ones that originally proclaimed witchcraft pointing to the covens effectively thinning their once steadily rising numbers. 

They are reckless and generally only care for their own ends. They are the ones that give witches and warlocks a bad name. Unlike those of the coven they gain no such immunity from the Infernal Pit. It is easy for lesser demons to trick these mortals into freeing them to cause chaos in the mortal realm. This includes cracking open Purgatory for some unsavory Infernal Blooded Hybrids to slip through.

Crawling Apocalypse

Image © Wizards of the Coast, by Michael Phillippi. Accessed at the Sandstorm Art Gallery here

[The crawling apocalpyse was especially broken, even by the standards of Sandstorm’s bestiary, so I never used it. That didn’t mean I didn’t like it, though, and I’ve taken this opportunity to reduce it to a reasonable power for its CR.

The flavor text of the original is tied to the marru, an extinct progenitor race from Sandstorm that left behind a bunch of jackal-headed marruspawn, some of the artifacts in the book, etc. I don’t particularly care for the marruspawn et. al, and will be ignoring them. So I had to alter the crawling apocalypse’s flavor text somewhat. I also gave them the ability to respawn, thus earning the “apocalypse” title in a way most CR 11 monsters don’t.]

Crawling Apocalypse CR 11 NE Undead This creature looks like an immense sea creature, desiccated and returned to unholy life. It drags its withered body on a carpet of tentacles, two of which lash ahead of it and are studded with hooks and barbs. Its enormous eyes are haunted orbs, staring over a parrot-like beak.

In ancient times, the krakens sought to overtly dominate the races of the dry lands. During a mighty war, powerful wizards developed a trap for the krakens, and teleported a handful of them into the middle of a desert to die of suffocation and dehydration. Although this gambit was enough to turn the tide of that ancient battle, it created by mistake the undead known as crawling apocalypses. These monsters are mummified krakens, animated by spite and driven to destroy humanoid life wherever they can.

A crawling apocalypse is not nearly as intelligent or strong as a kraken, but they are still overwhelming combatants for most. Their smaller tentacles are not coordinated enough to attack individually, but it can grab enemies in its lashing arms and drag them to the tentacle mass to be crushed to death. A crawling apocalypse’s beak is laced with the dried up remains of kraken ink, which can spread mummy rot. Worse, it can spray this ink over a wide area, killing dozens at once with negative energy and infecting survivors with its dreaded curse.

If this were not bad enough, when a crawling apocalypse is slain, its body calves apart and creates two more of the creatures, which travel their separate ways. Only by destroying the body on holy ground can this fate be averted. Fortunately, such rejuvenation events seem to tire the monsters, and a newly formed crawling apocalypse typically buries itself deep below ground and falls into a torpor for decades before returning to the surface to wreak havoc. Still, despite the limited nature of their origins, there are now more crawling apocalypses than there ever have been. Their name is derived from the concern that they will eventually overtake the world, starting from the deserts to besiege more verdant and populous lands.

Whether or not the save is successful, the creature cannot be affected by that crawling apocalypse’s despair aura for the next 24 hours. This is a mind-influencing fear effect, and the save DC is Charisma based. Ink Dust (Su) As a standard action once per day, a crawling apocalypse may spray black dust in a 60 foot cone. All creatures in the cone must succeed a DC 22 Fortitude save or take 11d6 negative energy damage and contract mummy rot. A successful save halves the damage and does not cause the creature to contract mummy rot. Mummy Rot (Su) Curse and disease—bite or ink dust; save Fort DC 22; onset 1 minute; frequency 1/day; effect 1d6 Con and 1d6 Cha; cure —. Mummy rot is both a curse and disease and can only be cured if the curse is first removed, at which point the disease can be magically removed. Even after the curse element of mummy rot is lifted, a creature suffering from it cannot recover naturally over time. Anyone casting a conjuration (healing) spell on the afflicted creature must succeed on a DC 26 caster level check, or the spell is wasted and the healing has no effect. Anyone who dies from mummy rot turns to dust and cannot be raised without a resurrection or greater magic. The save DC is Charisma-based. Rejuvenating Split (Su) 24 hours after a crawling apocalypse is slain, two crawling apocalypses form in squares adjacent to the corpse. This is only prevented if the body is reduced to ash in the area of a consecrate or hallow spell. Tentacle Transfer (Ex) As a swift action, a crawling apocalypse may transfer a Large or smaller grabbed creature to its tentacles by making a successful CMB check. If it does so, it continues to deal constrict damage and can maintain the grapple without spending an action. A crawling apocalypse does not gained the grappled condition if it has creatures held only in its tentacles. It may hold up to 4 Large or smaller creatures in its tentacles at a time.
