Pairaka Species in Palimpsest | World Anvil

Pairaka

“These are the things that dreadful warlocks of the forbidden arts summon, who grant pleasure, pain and knowledge. They bring plague and ruin upon their foes or fulfil secret and forbidden wants.”
-- A torn page from the The Arts Macabre.
Pairakas are a kind of Div that embody lust, corruption, seduction and destruction. According to Professor Jonas Fogg, they seduce victims, ruin relationships and create obsessions. They can also spread plagues and pestillence, and they specialise in meeting the forbidden desires of their victims. They delight in using their seduction to spread chaos and disease, by charming their victims into physical contact.

Common Taboos

Div Flaw
Pairakas, like all Divs, have an irrational compulsion: a crack in their personality. Pairakas cannot abide the colour red. They will never wear red or willingly enter red areas (such as, for example, the Noble Court). They will also be compelled to favour attacking creatures wearing red before they attack any other opponents.
