[2:08 AM]silentanon: Oroshen, The Shepherd of Babes, Indulgent Soul of Uru
DEMON OF THE SECOND CIRCLE
[2:09 AM]silentanon: One of the vilest offerings a man can make to the Yozis is the flesh and soul of his newborn child, ripped from his mother's breast.
[2:11 AM]silentanon: Whether or not the imprisoned primordials especially like such offerings, few can say, but Isidoros claims his share.
[2:13 AM]silentanon: Sometimes Oroshen appears before the supplicant - even those who do not worship his Yozi - and takes the child's soul, leaving behind a treasure - an idol crafted wholly of one of the Five Magical Materials, tainted with vitriol, depending on the season.
[2:14 AM]silentanon: He appears to be a man with a goat's head, wicked and evil, with a ferociously barbed penis, but his appearance deceives. Oroshen has very little capacity for violence or rapacity - although his foul mood and dry wit can easily offend.
[2:19 AM]silentanon: His stomach engorged with a freshly birthed soul, he searches for a pregnant woman and impregnates her doubly with a touch. The demon-blooded twin is always fraternal and possessed of supernatural powers.
[2:20 AM]silentanon: Oroshen does not always immediately deliver his ward. In Malfeas, he is surrounded by a pale procession of souls, of which he whispers secrets and prophecy, promising them that their time will come.
[2:22 AM]silentanon: The demon, despite his propensity to steal offerings, is frequently summoned to Creation by Yozi cultists seeking powerful champions and prophets.
[2:23 AM]silentanon: In the First Age and in the Age of Sorrows, he is called upon by particularly depraved sorcerers who have a ready supply of infants to trade with him for the Five Magical Materials.

[2:29 AM]silentanon: Lambs-Of-Darkness
DEMON OF THE FIRST CIRCLE - PROGENY OF OROSHEN
[2:30 AM]silentanon: Oroshen needs no watchdogs to guard his flock - the Lambs-of-Darkness guard themselves.
[2:32 AM]silentanon: The hardy demons do not speak, for no sound can escape their lips. They feast on Cecelyne's sands, migrating in small herds.
[2:35 AM]silentanon: Their fleeces are dense and compact, so heavy as to make their tread ponderous and destructive.
[2:36 AM]silentanon: Malfeas is dangerous, but so armored, they have little to fear. In the wash of Kimberian sea, in the maws of Metagaos, they stoically plod along. Only Adorjan's deadly silence they avoid - but even when they are overcome by the Silent Wind, she leaves one alive, for they are as quiet as Creation will be in the fullness of time.
[2:37 AM]silentanon: As they travel, the dust of the magical materials settles on their fleeces - rejected by their bodies as indigestable.
[2:38 AM]silentanon: Especially aged examples gain a colored hue, depending on which they are richest in.
[2:39 AM]silentanon: When washed in alcoholic spirits, the beasts give up their bounty.
[2:41 AM]silentanon: Lamb-of-Darkness are typically summoned by sorcerers primarily for their wool, which produces an exceptionally fine weave which then can be turned into clothing with the qualities of armor.
[2:45 AM]silentanon: In the First Age, flocks of summoned sheep fed with sand taken from the Elemental Pole of Earth produce a fleece which is fine enough to be used for lace, which is used as an exotic artifact ingredient or for the most expensive variety of lingerie.
