With this spell can create a compulsion effect
targeting one creature. If the power of the target is
overcome, the subject must stay at least 20 feet from
any snake or worshiper of Merrshaulk, alive or dead.
A subject may overcome this compulsion if he can make
POW x5 roll, but still suffer deep anxiety. This
causes a 30% reduction to all skills until the effects
wears off or the subject is no longer within 20 feet.
Background
Merrshaulk, the snake-headed god of the Yuan ti, was
once a minor demonic power. Centuries ago, his faith
began to spread through the ancient Suel imperium, and
his power grew. His worship was carried south into the
Hepmonaland during the collapse of the Suel Empire.
His priests built a great empire south of the Tilvanot
peninsula, centered on a city built inside a mountain
rift. The empire of the Yuan ti reached its apex two
hundred years before the founding of the Great
Kingdom.
Fed by the souls sacrificed upon his altars,
Merrshaulk's power grew to levels unheard of amongst
demon kind. The empire of the Yuan ti waxed in
strength for the next two hundred years, and soon was
threatening to encroach upon the southern Flanaess.
However, as their power grew, their bloodline also
became corrupted -- his priests, already reptilian in
spirit, took on the outward aspect of their demon
prince. This corruption spread throughout the faithful
of the Yuan Ti, bringing with it the worst aspects of
their lord -- treachery, arrogance, and a growing
lassitude. Over the next century, the Yuan ti began a
great decline.
Just over five centuries ago, powerful forces of
unknown nature descended upon the Yuan ti's capital,
decimating their armies. Their jungle empire rapidly
collapsed, and their mountain fortress was lost to
memory, known now only as the Forbidden City. The
tribes of the Hepmonaland have since returned to the
old ways. Merrshaulk himself is now barely a memory --
he lies deep in his Abyssal lair, dreaming of his past
glory, and dining on the thousand thousand souls
delivered onto him by his serpent priests.
An adventurer traveling into the Hepmonaland will hear
legends of the demon-people of the jungles, half-man
and half-snake. The Yuan ti still live in their ruined
cities deep in the jungles of the Hepmonaland, served
by bugbears, tasloi, and their human slaves. It is
rumored that the Forbidden City yet survives, and that
the Yuan ti once again dream dreams of conquest and
blood.
