Background

Once a minor member of House Cathak, the woman that would become Unrepentant Sand Mistress enjoyed vacationing in the Near South, in the Realm tributary states. She was on a fast track to Exaltation, when one night a traveler came to her door. What happened then was a blur of gold and words, but when she came free of the Solar's sway she was penniless, with only a day's meal and the clothes on her back to her name, and lost in the desert. Unsure as to what had happened but unwilling to simply lay down and die from it, she kept walking for five days, pausing only once to eat the meal she had been left with. At the end of the fifth day, starving, dehydrated, and desperate, she fell at the gates of Malfeas where she was pulled in. Seeing the bitterness and pain from her time wandering her deserts, Cecelyne took it upon herself to Exalt the young woman, and carefully nurtured her hatred. Eventually, when she had learned what The Five Days Desert sought to teach, she was returned to Creation in the east...at first simply meddling in the affairs of petty dictators, but quickly learning to twist these mockeries of the true rulers of the world to her will. Since then, she's made many allies, and just as many times she's brought kingdoms toppling down around her. Now, with the leash removed, she seeks to set the entire East ablaze.

Inventory

• Cliumane, The Dark Advisor. Artifact 3. A soul of the Ebon Dragon often summoned up to provide wisdom to rulers, it understands the inner workings of any society...and how to bring it down. A tattoo of this Demon often denies attempts to see its outline, seeming to draw shadow in around it and hide its edges. In addition to its usual Charms and intelligence, it grants three dots of specialties (Bureaucracy: Governing +2 and Performance: Speeches +1) and one bonus dot each to Awareness, Bureaucracy and Presence. A three dot version of this tattoo also grants one bonus dot each to Manipulation, Appearance and Intelligence.

• Starmetal Reinforced Breastplate of Vitriol: Artifact 3.

• Crown of Thunders, Artifact 5. Once a symbol of the Sun's blessing, it's been turned to a more proper use. Wearing of the crown grants a three dot boost to all physical attributes. Spending ten motes gives an aura of command that adds five dice to all social rolls for the scene. While that power functions, an additional 10 motes may be spent to appear glorious and mighty. While this is active, mortals may not attack you, and treat all orders like compulsions. Other beings compare their Dodge MDV to your social roll, which gains 3 bonus successes. Resisting this unnatural mental influence costs two points of willpower, after which you become immune for a month and a day.

Manses and Hearthstones

• Gem of Anger: 2 additional dice on all Charisma and Manipulation rolls regarding negative intimacies
• Gem of Cecelyne's Law: Reduce the difficulty of all attempts to sway the opinions of others by 2, to a minimum of one.
