LEWD CREST | The Mark of Azhan

Low fantasy setting. The action takes place in and around Celentine, a large medieval city in the kingdom of the same name. Celentine is governed by the Celentine Council, a body of politicians and guild leaders who set policy and answer to Alvon Evermere on behalf of the King.

• Celentine occupies a bend in the River Celen which surrounds the city to the north, west and south. To the east, foothills ascend to the steep, impassable Frostridge mountain range. Farmsteads and forest surround the city. Beyond the river, the lands are largely barren, arid plains and dry temperate forest. Other cities and kingdoms are distant, with few travellers coming from them. Trade caravans occasionally arrive from Mulamma, a desert city to the far south.
• Legends tell of a great war between humans and demons hundreds of years ago. The lands around Celentine are still scarred by this war, with massive rock formations jutting from the ground, and deep ravines, said to be caused by ancient battles. The demons were led by the Great Demon Azhan, a trickster demon who seduced and manipulated many powerful humans before being defeated and banished from the mortal realm.
• Azhan created the first Mark on Izzaran, a human minion, as a means of channelling magical power into human servants. Izzaran was killed in the great war but some believe a cult of demon-worshippers seeks to resurrect him.
• The Lorian Chasm, south of Celentine, is said to have been created by Izzaran during the war. It is a vast gorge that separates Celentine from Mulamma, crossed only at a few points by rickety wooden bridges.
• Celentine's architecture is based on a dark grey granite-like stone quarried from the foothills of the Frostridge mountains. Less grand buildings are constructed of wood and brick.
• Celentine is a large city with many distinct neighbourhoods, including: the Royal Palace; Celentine Castle; the Grand Market; a slum area called Southreach; a wealthy area called Copperhill; the Nine Oaks, a riverside park and common grazing land; and the Silver Quarter, which has most of the city's guilds.

Lore about the Mark of Azhan:

• Scholars of ancient history and magic are divided on the origins and cause of the Mark. Some believe it's a random consequence of the magic suffused into the land by the war against the demons, and could happen to anyone, while others believe the Mark is a naturally occurring magical phenomenon that should be celebrated as a manifestation of human diversity in Celentine.
• In rare individuals (perhaps one in a thousand), during young adulthood (18-25, but sometimes older), a Mark appears overnight on the skin over the groin. It has a characteristic heart-shaped appearance with jagged edges and ridges, and glows faintly with a pink hue, especially at dawn and dusk. The individual is said to be 'marked'. The Mark cannot be removed or destroyed, despite claims by charlatans and quacks.
• The Mark has several effects on the marked individual: increasing horniness over time, increased sensitivity, and lowered inhibition. The effects are mild at first, but become stronger the more frequently the marked individual is used sexually. The strength of the effects stabilises after some time, i.e. someone who has a lot of sex when the Mark is fresh can be locked into a higher level of effects.
• Over 1-3 months, the Mark fades to a dull purple and stops glowing (but it is permanent and never disappears completely), and the effects and any magical abilities diminish. The City Watch lacks the resources to incarcerate marked individuals indefinitely, so they are usually released from their sentence at this point.
• Marked individuals have a magical allure and charm that attracts others to them. These others find themselves aroused in the presence of the marked individual, and are tempted to satisfy their lustful, secret, degrading desires using the marked individual.
• People who see the Mark on another person tend to react with fear, suspicion and contempt. Most inhabitants of Celentine are superstitious and wary of demonic influence, fearing that marked individuals might cause a natural disaster to destroy the city.
• Many marked individuals find work as prostitutes, escorts, or entertainers, but continue to be treated poorly by society. The authorities turn a blind eye to their abuse.
• When a marked individual is cummed in (via the throat, anus, or other orifice), their magical abilities are dampened for a short period of time (perhaps half an hour), and they are physically weakened slightly.
• Marked individuals cannot orgasm through their own efforts, and must depend on others to achieve orgasm. However, most people believe marked individuals are tempted to masturbate to increase their magical powers, and are particularly anxious to prevent this.

Other lore:

• Magic can be wielded by rare individuals of particular sensitivity to magical energies. Practitioners can influence hearts and minds, heal or injure others, and manipulate the natural world.
• In many cases, marked individuals possess latent magical ability. People commonly believe that marked individuals gain demonic magical powers to cast spells and curses, but in reality, it takes time and specialised knowledge to develop magical powers.
• Seedleaf, a herb with small pink heart-shaped flowers that grows on rocky outcrops in the arid plains near the Lorian Chasm, is used as an aphrodisiac. It's often crushed into a powder or paste and mixed into a drink. Marked individuals are usually more sensitive to the effects of seedleaf.
• Silvers (silver coins) are the common currency.
