Uzoq, The Left Hand (LN)

Art by jimmymmtz on Tumblr.com

Uzoq was once a mortal necromancer, assisting a party in the rescue of one of Lias' conduits. During this quest, he also flirted with and won the heart of Lias' right hand, Myste. However, during a Harrow Deck reading, Uzoq pulled a card that forced Myste to behead him. Appalled by what she'd done and stricken with grief, Myste pleaded with Lias to assist in bringing Uzoq back. Seeing this as an opportunity to gain more assistance in their eternal work, Lias deified Uzoq, making him her Left Hand, watching undead and providing what dead souls may need done to their bodies to move on.

### Divine Intercession

Uzoq is impressed by those that seek power through magic or responsible necromancy, and is extremely petty towards those that disrespect him.

> **Minor Boon**: Once per day, you are able to cast *rouse skeletons* as a divine innate spell.
>
>

> **Moderate Boon**: Your weapon is ignited in a strange way. The flame is an ashen gray, that sheds light as a torch, and deals +1d6 damage (causing half fire damage and half divine damage that is therefore not subject to being reduced by resistance to fire-based attacks) to creatures struck by the weapon. The weapon counts as a cold iron weapon for the purpose of bypassing damage reduction. If you use a dagger, it is also considered silver for the purpose of bypassing damage reduction.
>
>

> **Major Boon**: Uzoq convinces Myste to return your soul upon death and provides you a second chance. The first time you die, you are instead brought back with full health at the beginning of the next round with the undead trait. You are damaged by positive energy, healed by negative energy, and don’t benefit from healing effects.
>
>

> **Minor Curse**: Uzoq’s minions seek vengeance. Undead creature will target you specifically, if able.
>
>

> **Moderate Curse**: Uzoq cuts you off from positive energy without granting you the blessing of undeath. You are harmed by positive effects and don’t recover Hit Points from them, as if you were an undead or had negative healing, but you are still harmed by negative effects as normal.
>
>

> **Major Curse**: The feeling of death envelopes you but does not release you from the pain of living. You become permanently drained 2 and enfeebled 2.
