## Context:

### **Mukhfi Yalmut**

Mukhfi Yalmut, born half-blood Yaun-ti, known at the time as maliason, He rose through ranks as a cleric of Mok’Slyk and took their teachings to heart. He went as far as trying to find the place the last Anathema was buried. He knew that the Loxodon Heirarch would know in their logs, requesting to be placed at the haven built by Heirarch Nne in the heart of Alshifa.

### **Malison**

Someone born with a mostly serpentine features, there are many types:

* Type 1 — humanoid body with snake-like head.
* Type 2 — humanoid with snake-like arms.
* Type 3 — humanoid above the waist and snake below.
* Type 4 - Human form with one or more serpentine tails
* Type 5**:** Human form covered in scales

In his research he was able to find the Hiearche’s Study a place that connected the temple of Nne to the Great Library. Within he was able to get his hands on a way to help unify the different groups of the yaun-ti, the blood of which was deathly similar to that of an Anathema. Maybe this was the bonding point for them, something that could help bring them togther. Currently the argument against the less human Yaun-Ti was just small mumblings.

### **Summit**

Bringing together the water elves, earth elves, loxodon, lizardfolk, and even the few humans who would listen.In order to make them see the usefulness of the yaun-ti and offer the healing properties of the valley and the research that Yalmut had gained.

As he reached out to the non-yaun ti, they thought he was seeking to take control over the desert as his search for the Anathema got more involved. In his research he found a way to heal the scale rot and a few other diseases using a functional and easy combonation of things that grew in the valley along with hybrids using a tincture of purified blood.

### **Revenge**

They turn on me? I who only saught them cause I thought they would want help. I thought they would want the cures, they would want the help of someone who wouldn't be afflicted by their disiease. They can cure wounds, they can heal, but at what cost? I am monster? I am a yaun-ti who wants to help.

His research became more and more involved, and the mixes he was creating were beginning to give more monstrous effects. He noticed that using the blood from certain yaun-ti and using the purified blood caused shifting effects.

### **Purified Blood**

I have created a vial of pure yaun-ti essence, there is no humanoid response, it is very similar to the blood of an anathema.

### **Anathema**

The transformation is quick yet painful.

***Not Quite Divine.*** An anathema is a demigod on the path to greater divinity. It demands obeisance from weaker yuan-ti and uses its neighbors. Each conquest brings new sacrifices, as well as glory and riches, that the anathema thinks it needs to achieve true divinity.

An anathema’s yuan-ti followers saw it as the pinnacle of the serpentine form, an unbelievable improvement on the nearly perfect. Its devoted followers think of it as “divine flesh in a mortal body,” and cultists serving tend to be more bloodthirsty and self-sacrificing in its presence.

***Immortal.*** Anathemas don’t age, allowing them to pursue their goals until the end of days. Truly powerful ones can grow to rule multiple yuan-ti cities and bring entire regions, including humanoid realms, under yuan-ti control.

### **Tinctures**

Pure Blood – Force the yaun-ti to shapeshift into a large constrictor, the only way back to humanoid was with the desert rose concoction

Half Blood – Force a non yaun-ti to shift into a maliason, effects last until the next full moon.

Purified Blood – Force yuan-ti into an abomination, stretching them into a huge form and clouding mind.

Desert Rose & Cappi Mix – Causes hallucinations

Perfect Tincture – Cause Hallucinations and force yaun-ti into abomination and non-yaun ti into debyuk form

These experiments are considered highly dangerous and my experiments on my own form are causing surprising reaction and results. I can’t keep myself from drinking this blood, I need to find out where they are hiding the body of the other Anathema.

### **Creature**

I have an idea and if my guess is right I will begin storing the tincture there and hopefully show them the true power we have.I found it.

Locked below in caves within the mountain I have found where they tried and failed to lock away the child. Small bits of his blood have driven me to see the visions of perfection. Mok’Sylk be cursed, I will become my own god. I will show them that being a pureblood and looking like these dangerous humans is not for their safety.

They keep using their guise and failing to raise above being seen as monsters. They keep considering me a creature, how dare they.

Do they not know that I’m looking for their safety?

I have used the door to the mountain and placed below them enough to turn

EVERY SINGLE MONSTER INTO SOMETHING THAT WILL BRING THEM MY VENGANCE

I started all of this just to show unity.

I wanted to be considered a full person.

I wanted to use the abilities that we gained to help save

Here I am, using my abilities like a curse.

I can’t heal the curse.

I CAN GIVE THEM THE AFFLICTION

Call me a monster

CALL ME A CREATURE

NEVER AGAIN

Sisavah would be proud.

I will use the blood of her child to bring the people to the monsters they called us.

### Wrong

Am I wrong?

Are we just monsters?

Doesn’t this prove them-

No.

They are wrong.

### Revenge

They have removed my name from their history

They have placed me in this tomb

They left me to die

They fear me

My own people fear me

I am no monster

I want unity

### Liar

Yalmut, your name is Yalmut

You are working for a way to heal.

The affliction of the yaun-ti

Is not a hinderance.

It is what makes you special.

You are not monsters.

Every variation, every type of us is special.

There is no hierarchy based on our looks.

Why should there be.

### Sisavah

Sisavah loved her son

Sisavah wanted peace.

Sisavah wanted to protect her son from this, am I wrong?

### Cure?

No.

They are wrong.

There is only one good yaun-ti.

If I can’t make us look like them then they will never accept us.

I will continue my research to make us perfect.

There is no cure.

We are perfection.
