The Esurient Principality
From Changeling Venue
Contents |
Description
The Esurient Principality is anything you can imagine. A beautiful woman, her dress sable and her arms running with track marks, offering a junkie a needle full of unicorn's blood. A stately man in evening dress, his eyes communicating far more than words could. If it provokes the hungers of others, the Principality has taken its form at one time or another.
Modus Operandi
The Esurient Principality is hunger incarnate. It is left constantly wanting something, be it sex, drugs, renown, Glamour, or even the flesh of changelings. It is far too composed, however, to give into these hungers like a ravaging beast. That is what its charges are for. The Principality often keeps a full stable of slaves to fill its every need, from the carnal to the gustatory. Often times, it gains nourishment by provoking the very essence of hunger in others. Among its repertoire of tricks include giving two of its most esteemed servants an extremely potent aphrodisiac before sending them to a fancy dress party and telling them to represent it well, or dangling a needle before a recovering addict when it knows the man will receive a drug test at work the next day.
Sometimes, however, the Principality gets starved, to the point that its composure just snaps. When it does, what little sanity it could be considered to have melts away, and its form reduces to a blob of quavering flesh. From the flesh arises a multitide of gaping maws ringed with razor-sharp, gnashing teeth. Each mouth cries the name of its want, and the assembled corpus of the Principality will chase down and devour utterly anything that will sate its hungers. Once the Principality regains its composure, no one must talk about the "unfortunate incident"... lest they want to feed it the next time it happens.
