Way of Earth

Hosted by www.Geocities.ws

Ancient koldun hospodar rulers once claimed sovereignty over the lands of Eastern Europe, mainipulating the magically rich chernozem--"black earth"--to invoke their power and instill fear in their boyars and peasants. Now, the young koldun of the sabbat beckon the spirits of the western soil and derive their powers of the way of earth from natural surroundings. When a koldun employs a power of this way, his eyes change color to a walnut brown and his skin ripples with small patches of ston.

Soil Silhouette:
A koldun invoking this power has the ability to command dirt to rise up from the ground and crawl up the legs of an individual. The soil rises up very quickly and, as it passes above a victim's knees, renders him immobile.

Unearthly Stamina:
A koldun invoking this power temporarily borrows the earth's resilience, lending him stamina. Some elder Tremere of eastern europe reminisce on the frightening capacity for pain their rival koldun could withstand when invoking Unearthly Stamina. Sabbat koldun often use this power to prove their mettle during the ritae.

Soil of Death:
By invoking Soil of Death, a koldun commands roots to rise from the ground and drag a target below the soil, incapaciting him. Once buried up to his neck, a victim finds it increasingly difficult to breathe as he feels the weight of the earth of crushing his chest.

Root of Vitality:
Many healers believed that burying a person in the ground would allow the rich soil to purge him of his ailments. This power allows the koldun to draw any person into the ground up to the neck to heal grievous wounds.

Dracula's Restless Soul:
Peasants whisper silent prayers to protect themselves from the unusual tremors that sometimes shake the Carpathian Mountains, which they believe to be the spirit of Dracula waking from centuries of slumber. In truth, this odd seismic activity is the result of koldun calling upon the dormant wrath of the blighted land. When invoking this power, a koldun creates a large earth tremor capable of shaking the foundations of a city block.
