The King of Clangour was once a mortal monarch who prized hearing wonderful things, hoarding and even kidnapping musicians and minstrels of all kind, and maiming those who missed a note. For his cruelty, he was raised to become one of the Ten Thousand Kings of Hell in death.
His court, a vast amphitheatre, is filled with clamouring devils, all howling hellishly in hopes of attracting his favour. His emaciated form bears an enormous helm blocking out almost all sound and distorting even what little noise makes it through, twisting all around into a nightmarish cacophony. Even the choir of Irreverends howling non-stop blasphemy cannot soothe his anguish. Statistics: The King of Clangour's statistics are roughly equivalent to a Pit Fiend. His helmet blocks all sound, as if he were constantly subject to a Silence effect. Although this does not interfere with his ability to use magical abilities, it causes problems in communicating with him. In combat, he wields a mighty heavy flail, which causes damage as if he were a gargantuan-sized creature. The servants of the King of Clangour experience tinnitus, a painful and never-ending ringing in their ears, giving them a -2 penalty on any sound-based perception checks. How you can use the King of Clangour in your game: - As a patron for Warlocks, the King of Clangour is relatively inoffensive, sponsoring reckless hedonism over any actual evil plans. He'll often send people to hear or see interesting things, often at the expense of the artist themselves, though he does favour rewarding those who astonish him. - The King of Clangour often wars with the other Kings of Hell, mostly just to satisfy his rage. This sometimes causes conflict of hideous intensity, unleashing choirs of Irreverends and flights of Erinyes wielding sonic weapons upon his foes. - Player Characters may run afoul of the King of Clangour if they accomplish some great feat of artistry, whether bardic or visual art. This may even cause them to be abducted themselves if the work was great enough. Also posted on Game Masters Stash on 31 August 2019. Comments are closed.
