Gifts

The Great Gifts of the Mother are a series of enchantments and curses placed into the bodies of recipients through fleshbinding magics practices by the Shadow Cult of Elune. These gifts all originate from Mother Lucaerna, and are given in two ways. Lucaerna bears all of the blessings and curses save for Alah'dalan.


 * Being born to Mother Lucaerna. Trueborn Mistress's, Cultsworn Eredar, the Satyr Conclave, and the Jade Sisterhood all received their blessings in this way broadly. Any demons spawned from the offspring of Lucaerna also have the chance to bestow the mutation onto their progeny.
 * 'Blessed' by Mother Lucaerna. Many followers of the Cult came to it seeking power, influence, or perhaps a new purpose. A variety of mortals and immortals have sought them out and received such gifts.

Lucaerna may take in new blessings through careful breeding with selected partners. These new blessings may then be passed on.

The Blessings

 * Tae'shala: "Bodily Power". The Blessing of Tae'shala conveys the ability for one's muscles to stretch and distort, as well as gain otherworldly strength. This blessing is often bestowed concurrently with Bru'dalan.
 * Mu'sunda: "Mental Domination": Grants the ability for the bearer to produce mind altering venom from fangs that grow from the incisors. The venom acts as a powerful and addictive narcotic that leaves the recipient highly suggestive to commands.
 * Bru'dalan: "Born of Many": The apex mutation of the cult. Grants the ability of superfetation, or the ability to become pregnant whilst pregnant. The upper limit of the recipient's ability to carry spawn at once is limited only by their bodies ability to tolerate the growth.
 * Kel'dalan: "Food for Many": Causes the bearers breast tissue to grow.
 * Alah'dalan: "Seeds for Many": Creates male reproductive organs in females.
 * Kel'dah'sulan: "Nourishment": Causes the bearer to produce enormous quantities of milk. Often bestowed concurrently with Kel'dalan.

The Curses

 * Mor'gudra: "The Growth": Causes the bearer's blessings, if any, to accelerate out of control. When applied to somebody without a blessing, inflicts random mutations.
 * Bir'thana: "The Brood": Causes the bearer to perpetually gestate random demons, as soon as one is born, the next grows. Potentially fatal to those not blessed without the blessing of Tae'shala.
 * Man'gurda: "The Burden": Causes the bearer to grow in physical weight along with their magical power. Or waste away to bones if they are depleted.
 * Jur'gruda: "The Hunger": Causes the bearer to perpetually seek out their desires to the point of obsession.

The Holy Ones
Those within the cult who acquire four or more mutations are considered holy, and often hold positions as Handmaidens within the Cult. Some notable Holy Ones are:


 * Lady Almariel
 * Lady Melissra
