Shroud: Difference between revisions

The Shroud was described as a giant worm or eel like creature. The shroud could turn its body into a [[wormhole]] to travel from [[planet]] to planet. Once it started to dine, the Shroud would send out psychic tentacles to go inside a victim's mind. First, the victim wpuld see a person they loved who died in a stain or pattern that would soon then start criticising them. Then, when the Shroud was strong enough, its links would appear in physical form as a woman with a blue vale with the face of that person's loved one. The Shroud would then form a psychic link with the victim by holding their hands and exploiting their grief, making them go through the five signs of grief. Once at acceptance, the victim would have no grief remaining in them and the Shroud would move on. With the grief removed, a new emotion would fill the space and take over. The main three observed were Wanters (jealousy), Rangers (anger), and Tremblers (fear). These effects could be reversed through much "therapy". This technique was developed by [[Wobblebottom]] and [[Flip Flop]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Shroud of Sorrow (novel)|Shroud of Sorrow]]'')
