Father Morhaus Ascendant
Drops
8A length of waxed surgical thread, dark with old blood. The Chirurgeon's followers carry these in folded oilcloths. Some still hum faintly when the wind is wrong.
A vial of slow-pulsing black-red fluid, drawn from a body the Chirurgeon refused to let die. It clots impossibly slowly. A single drop is said to bind a wound that should never have healed.
A surgical blade longer than a sword, kept impossibly sharp. The Chirurgeon worked with this in his off-hand. It still hums faintly with vile green light.
A glass jar bound in iron, holding a still-pulsing organ from one of the Chirurgeon's experiments. The fluid inside the jar shimmers when channelled.
A finger bone from one of Morhaus's victims, strung on a leather thong with surgical wire. It twitches when prey is near.
A swinging brazier the Chirurgeon used to perform his perverted final rites. Its smoke smells of antiseptic and old incense.
Cut from Morhaus's chest after he refused, again, to die. It still beats. The veins around it have grown new tendrils, searching.
A massive, blackcoated ram with curling brass-banded horns. It only answered to those who pulled it from the ruin of Father Morhaus.
