Antidote Cost: 10 Resilience Learnable: Learnable at Orbit 30 Effects: Reverse the effects of Poison.. Damage: N/A Duration: N/A History: In a past age, when dreamers first began
to war amongst themselves, there arose two DreamWrights of equal skill and
opposite purpose. The Dreamwright Yabnuk was a dark man, taken to dark passions.
Revenge, plotting, skulldeggery were his meat and bread. The Dreamwright
Theofanes was a pacifist. He believed that only through peace, could the true
path of concordance in the city be found. His favorite pastime was tending his
garden in Cloudsbreak. In art they had few equals. However as you might imagine,
their ways were diametrically opposed. In time Theofanes took an apprentice, a
young dreamer named Alortes. Herein lies the crux of the matter... You see,
Alortes made the mistake of standing between Yabnuk and his vengeance. Yabnuk
could not defeat Alortes with the arts he knew for Alortes was skilled in the
arts that protect a dreamer from harm. Yabnuk turned to his studies once more. He studied things in the dream which brought weakness, sickness and corruption. From these things, he learned to bring about a sickness in his fellow dreamers, a poisoning of the soul. With this power, Yabnuk confronted Alortes. Alortes escaped, but the poison still coursed through his veins. Alortes staggered back to the refuge of his master, leaking essence all the way. In shock and dismay, Thoefanes twisted the art of Drain Self to work in reverse, and took the poison upon himself so he might overcome it with his strength and training. It took days before Theofanes found a way to rid himself of the poison, but that day did come. Through his willingness and self sacrifice, Theofanes countered the poison, that Yabnuk had wrought in anger. Determined that no other should suffer Theofanes spread the knowledge to others, and thus engendered the art we know today as Antidote. |
