The Howling Curse
Y'aaw'kara's madness still lives in the bloodied ground where cruelty has not yet been forgiven.
In the Time of Cataclysm, the voice of Y'aaw'kara plunged the north into madness and turned whole villages against each other. The Rime Lords sacrificed themselves to contain it, but the curse lingers wherever cruelty and violence have caused great suffering. Tainted places are corrupted sites — hungry, full of whispers and visions that push toward bloodshed and savagery. When you give in to the bloodlust, you pick up to 3 curse options; roll +1 per option chosen, with advantage for great carnage. On a 10+ the options become permanent and you are tainted; on a 7-9 they linger until you vent your rage; on a 6- they fade, leaving only nightmares. When all five options are permanent, you become a kyakaara — the GM writes you up as a monster, and you cease to be a PC.
