CallMeCanon/Labyrinthians

Stillblooded Dragons

In life, their hearts beat with the blood of the Elemental Dragons. That same blood still pools in their veins, but their hearts no longer beat. At the moment of death, these Terrestrials were offered the chance to keep their power and influence a bit longer, and in their acceptance they became Labyrinthians.

Aspects

Breath (Air)

The first piece of life to leave a dying body is the final breath as its lungs collapse. Its warmth quickly gives way to cold wind, its moisture turning to fog and then ice under the sunless skies of the Underworld. The Breath Aspect make excellent spies and assassins, drawing whispered secrets and strangled cries out into the unseen breeze.

Blood (Water)

As the body slips fully from life into death, the heart stops beating and its blood stops flowing. It pools in the veins, draining away where it can and congealing where it cannot. The flow of blood carries with it energy, family, and identity, and by tapping into these dying veins can those powers be harnessed. The Blood Aspect are the arcanists and scholars, lawyers and politicians, sorcerers and necromancers. Hidden power and hidden knowledge is revealed in coagulated splatter.

Flesh (Wood)

As the corpse moves from death into decay, the flesh begins to rot. Organs and entrails become vectors for disease; entire ecosystems of filth and rot thrive on the carrion. This connection to the guts of nature at its most visceral is embodied by the Flesh Aspect. They reap the foul harvest of decomposition and spread its fetid gifts to a rotting world.
