Earthbound Lores
Note: These Lores are specific to Earthbound Demons and are NOT up for option with mortally bound Demons. These are only reference points for any ST using an Earthbound NPC. They have no Visage as Earthbound have no physically breathing bodies; no high or low torment as Earthbound have no conscience, no morality and are the most corrupted creatures in the Fallen world; beyond that, these lores are the most forbidden, evil and cruelty laced powers that a Fallen could tap into.
Black Knowledge
Without legs to carry them or hands to control the world around them, the Earthbound have concentrated their attentions on the tools that are available to them: their lore and the power to directly manipulate the forces of Creation.
Over millennia, the Earthbound have developed new bodies of lore, blasphemous powers that allow them to control Creation in ways that God never intended. These secret bodies of lore are crude, destructive forces, that cannot be used in positive or subtle ways. Nonetheless, they are extremely effective powers, and they provide the Earthbound powerful weapons to use against their rivals, mortals and the forces of Hell.
The Earthbound Lores
Tools of the Enemy
It’s unlikely that the fallen will ever learn the secret lore of the Earthbound. The Dread Kings are not about to teach their secret knowledge to their rivals or enemies. It’s not impossible, however, for the fallen to learn such things. Perhaps an infernal slave of the Earthbound was entrusted with secret lore, then managed to escape her slavery by changing her True Name. Or perhaps an Earthbound who was pulled back to Hell has escaped, much weaker than before, into a mortal body, and it still remembers the details of its secret lore.
Even if a fallen character does manage to learn the Earthbound lore, it’s a dangerous tool to wield. No low-Torment version of any evocation of these lore paths exists — they can only be used in negative, destructive ways. A non-Earthbound character automatically gains a point of temporary Torment each time she evokes one of these bodies of lore.
