Well, *I* liked the Broo Princes, although I agree that I was more intrigued by the ideas they gave than the statisitics they presented. I liked the idea of Ralzakark putting his baser desires, worst feelings etc... into his proxies and sons. Personally, I'd like to know more of the secrets hinted at in D:LoD, as well as indepth descriptions (and statistics!) of the personalities of Fort Wrath i.e. Sword Troop, Javelin Troop etc... What steeds do they ride? What magics? What are the details of Ralzakark's personal cult? What of Ralzakark's other sides? Is Ralzakark Arkat? So, in support of intresting information like the princes, I have sent Hil-ith, a personal broo of the King's. I don't care if you do not run a Dorastor campaign, find the scenario ideas too sparse or unappealing, or else find that stat's belong only in the dead RQ Rules list. Use the page down button.

Hil-th, Warrior of the Unholy

 Hil-th was a powerful female broo born in Snake Pipe Hollow. She spent her early life pilgrimaging to Dorastor to listen to speeches given from Ralzakark, whom in her eyes was the fabled broo king. She voluntarily allowed him to dominate her, and served unerringly as an object of various broos depravity and whims. After this servitude Ralzakark appointed her his proxy, and a representative of the Unholy Trio. During his service she has Illuminated under the teachings of Nysalor and worships Malia and Chalana Arroy, claiming they are two sides of the same deity. She ignores all Chalana Arroy restrictions.
 Not only is she the incarnation of Malia of the Unholy Trio, she travels wide and far spreading the word of the coming Devil. In her dual role as midwife to Wakboth and Bringer of Life she delivers Ralzakarks will. Her search for a suitable vessel for Wakboth to inhabit occupies most of her time, and she can be found from the Wastelands to Fronela, roving around looking for a suitable host. When a host is found they are annointed in a particular rite, and then taken back to Fort Wrath, often through Krarshti tunnels whom Ralzakark has a pact with.
 She is usually followed by Sword Broos, members of the cult of Krarsht escorting her and varius chaos. Her last bodyguard, a Rune Lord of Humakt, died, and she is looking for a replacement.

N.B. One adventure idea may be that Hil-th decides one of the players is a suitable host for the Devil and seeks to capture him. Worse still, she may decide they are a suitable replacement for her bodyguard.  If the players encounter her outside of a combat situation she will threaten them with diabolical recitals of the Devil's Coming. If she captures a character she will be exceedingly tender, cooing and talking softly of what will happen to them if they turn out to be a suitable receptacle for the Devil. She speaks of this gloriously, as if bestowing some great honour.
