Common Black Spiral Dancers Dementations and Dementia
- Amnesia or Delusion: These dementia are blessings from Pseulak, the Urge Wyrm of Lies. The terror of your former life is gone; now Pseulak has dreamt a new identity for you.
- Beserker: The Beast-of-War has chosen you. In violence, you find ultimate freedom. All of your Rage rolls are at a -2 difficulty.
- Grandeur: Your mind has been kissed by the fetid lips of Mahsstrac, the Urge Wyrm of Power. You believe that your role in the tribe is much greater than what others suspect of you...obviously a self-fulfilling prophecy.
- Hallucinations: Kirijama, the Hidden Foe, has shown you things which should not be. Only you can see them; they mock everyone else.
- Klazomania: The voices in your head won't stop, and you can only quiet them by screaming at the top of your lungs. You can't speak without shouting, and your glorious words echo through the polluted air that H'rugg taints each day.
- Masochism: Pleasure and pain are one and the same. Karnala, the Urge Wyrm of Desire, has shown you the way.
- Misomania: Your hate is constant and focused against everything. Abhorra, the Urge Wyrm of Hate, can guide you in your dementia.
- Multiple Personalities: You could never choose one head of the Hydra, so now you serve all three. Each of your personalities should have a diffirent name, follow a diffirent auspice, and obey a diffirent Hydra of the Dark Trinity.
- Paranoia: Sykora, the Urge Wyrm of Paranoia, wants to drive you insane. Her minions are everywhere, so you had best live up to her ideals.
- Phagomania: You hunger constantly. Any meat you kill is quickly devoured. The Eater-of-Souls may even show you the glories of cannibalism.
- Sadism: You adore the reaction of others in pain. The suffering of others satisfies Angy, the Urge Wyrm of Cruelty.
