Idoneth Deepkin – Isharann Tidecaster
6" 5 5+ 2 The Isharann are born with a talent for harnessing arcane forces and are vital to soul-raiding and their people’s war efforts. The Tidecasters are masters of ethersea manipulation, able to summon this phantasmal tide that allows their comrades to move and breathe as if they were in their own natural environment. Enemies fighting amidst the ethersea feel as if they are drowning on land, their movements becoming sluggish and their strikes reduced to clumsy swings.
This is hardly the extent of a Tidecaster’s powers. Such is the connection between the Isharann and the ethersea that they can constantly manipulate its currents to protect themselves from harm. Furthermore, Tidecasters act as conduits for the repressed anguish of their race, an echo of their traumatic past that can be weaponised and unleashed upon the foe to sap their will to fight. Crushing waves of despair, black whirlpools of hopelessness or raging maelstroms of horror that shatter the minds of the foe: all are powerful tools in the hands of a Tidecaster. Those stricken by such enchantments are left helpless as they choke and writhe, and those lucky few who escape quickly find themselves torn to shreds by the Tidecaster’s guardian Ethershark. | ||
