Ermis

A trait stemming from the Eboncrow bloodline.

Odorless and more immediately fatal compared to its bolstering-blood frenzying cousin. Eboncrows are able to control the dose that is distributed to their victims.

In small amounts, dizziness, nausea and confusion and thrashing are common symptoms that may not necessarily lead to death but certainly extreme discomfort. Larger quantities can overstimulate the heart and lead to a quick death in a matter of minutes.

Outwardly, it appears similar to a strong venom, but make no mistake that it is a bloodborne disease that can quickly spread to infect others that have made contact with it. It is important to note that Effluvial Crows are immune to their disease, but the inverse is not true. It is delivered via a puncture from their claws.

It can be used in conjunction as a “combo ability” with the Lesser Eboncrow’s (peacock) strain to prevent the victim from succumbing to death when afflicted by their contagion. Between the two, this helps to ensure that there are far more useful hostages than there would be silent corpses.

A trait unique to the Lesser Eboncrows that pairs with their [Tranceclaw] contagion. Their wings can produce something of a hypnotic glow, one that is able to gently penetrate the night.

This ability is capable of putting their victims under a hypnotic trance, or sleep magic. The sleep magic may not always necessarily render victims unconscious, but may simply slow their movements and reaction time. It can be used alone, but the effects will be weaker.

A Lesser Eboncrow latent perk. This individual is a natural within mob fights. They are able to take true advantage of what it means to have strength in numbers. They instinctively know their place and how to best support their allies in the heat of battle, as well as help to chain their attacks into a series of combo assaults between them.

An Eboncrow latent perk. Individuals with this trait are naturally good at making connections within all societies. Rules and etiquette come easily to them even if they don’t believe in it themselves. They can naturally find their way to a black market or ties with the societal underworld. Either way if there’s a question that needs answering, they usually know who to ask.
