Your Aklo Word of the
Day:
F'TAGHN: DEAD BUT DREAMING. AN INDIVISIBLE BONDAGE BETWEEN SPIRIT
AND FLESH SURPASSING EVEN ENTROPY AND DEATH. F'TAGHN REMAINS AS THE
FADING SOUL OF CORPSE LIGHT, INHABITING DECOMPOSING CORRUPTION IN A
MARRIAGE WITH ETHERIAL FORCES.
F'taghn is the principle of the
UR-reality that allows reanimation of the dead. Zombies, Vampires, Glaakeen,
and most undead are madepossible by the F'taghn. Ressurection from essential
salts is a process born from the F'taghn. It is F'taghn that can be amplified
by powerful sorcerers to provide physical immortality.
F'taghn is
linked to the Dreamlands, an area of reality made corporeal by unified
beliefs and fantasies. F'taghn transmits radiant thoughts from beyond through
the hideous flesh of the dead. The Tomb-Herd, orCandarian Demons, are
creatures of the F'taghn.
Cthulhu and most Xothians exist in a state of
F'taghn. Their flesh constantly reanimating and ressurecting in what can only
be described as "ye livliest awefulness." The Deep Ones share in this state
to a lesser degree, remaining immortal and growing larger over the
endless millenia due to an abundance of F'taghn.
Dead but
Dreaming...
