Corps altars can take on the form of an orgy of beautiful dead maidens. They can be a macabre collection of cavalry officers arrayed in battle formation. They might be a mountain of dead, with heads, hands, arms, legs and intestines bound up into a bloated stinking mass the size of a small city. They might be anything that the vile mind who created them chose to construct. Corpse altars might be obvious or deceptively concealed. They might inhabit the upper portion of a crypt or the lower portions. They might really be anywhere. Generally though they do need some source of moisture to keep their corpses hydrated. A corpse altar in the desert is a rare thing indeed. Instinct: The corpse altar always hungers

• The alter pulses with dark energy
• Corpse altars are the work of powerful necromancers. They often serve as guardians of places of power (or phylacteries). Thus they are often imbued with the power to raise their dead and/or any creatures who die in the vicinity should the need arise.
• The corpse altar can form its copious mountains of flesh into whatever it needs to slay the intruders (and/or add to its stores of flesh).

Standing at 6'8" he is rugged looking, with trimmed beard and locks of brown velvet.

A masterly crafted sword forged in the heat of starlight, and cooled in the Blacksmith god, Joon's, tears, this blade cuts down all in its path without even the slightest wear or damage to the blade itself.

Gregory's not only hunted by those of the material realm, but also of his own mind ~~oooohhhh~~ spooky! These visages take on forms of Gregory's stature, but twisted to resemble the set emotion.
