Angels of the Second World manifest as shadowy figures whose features are hidden in perpetual darkness. The air itself seems to wrap about them like a robe of night, conjuring the image of the cowled ferryman of human myth. Their hands are white and bony as a skeleton's, and they move without effort or sound.
The Visage of the Realms confers the following
special capabilities.
* Dead Reckoning: The character always knows where she is
in relation to known landmarks, no matter how far away those landmarks may
be. Unless affected by spatially distorting evocations such as Warp Path,
she can never lose her sense of direction.
* Pass Without Trace: The character becomes capable of greater
stealth, and her passage does not disturb the surrounding environment in any
way. She leaves no footprints, disturbs no foliage, etc.
* Increased Awareness: Does precisely what it says on the
tin.
* Conjure from Nothing: The character is capable of supernatural
sleight of hand, seeming to conjure items out of thin air only to make them
vanish again with a flick of the wrist.
Torment
Angels of the Realms who surrender themselves to their Torment are walking
portals to the land of the dead, exuding an aura of loss and despair that
chills mortal hearts. Their voices are bleak and sepulchral, and their eyeless
stare gives the boldest heart pause.
The Visage of the Realms confers the following
high-Torment special capabilities.
* Cloak of Shadows: The demon is shrouded in a pall of darkness,
making her features difficult to see in the best of light, and rendering her
near-invisible at night. Stealth becomes extremely simple in the dark, and
any attempts to attack the demon are, quite literally, blind-fighting.
* Relentless: The demon can walk or run without need of rest,
able to cover superhuman distances without pause. As long as she stays in
motion, she is unaffected by fatigue or hunger.
* Voice of the Grave: The demon's voice is utterly terrifying
to any who hear it.
* Dread Gaze: The demon's gaze may petrify and paralyze those
who meet it, including other demons.
