This ancient device is fabled to be able to contain any fiend or outsider.
Hand-beaten from black iron, the 'box' is a cube about 13 feet on each side. The front bears a door graven with ancient and powerful sigils which glow with fiery heat, and the top bears rooflike spires. It is generally wrapped around with chains of iron and blessed silver, and held within a building designed around the great artifact. It must weigh several tonnes, and from time to time, it rocks roughly, as if whatever is within it is trying to escape. How you can use the Sanctus Box in your games: - This box currently contains a fiend of unimaginable power- an Infernal that, if unleashed, would swiftly raze an entire city and then return to the Hells where it might declare war on the Greater Devils and Demons which imprisoned it to begin with. Such a being's freedom would b sought only by the most violent and nihilistic cults. - The box has trapped a powerful Solar, and has been leaching its essence for centuries. Worse, the Devil responsible for the deed has been masquerading as the Solar all this time, corrupting the church to its very core. Even if freed, the Solar's power is sorely depleted, and it may require mortal agents to prosecute its duty for years to come. - Knowledge of the Box's location in a ruined and abandoned city hits the market, and there is a rush of vile cults, agents of chaos, and good-hearted agencies all competing to reach and claim the Box before their rivals can. Adventuring groups might be hired in to assist, or even to defend it from any comers. Also posted on Game Masters Stash on 13 August 2020. Comments are closed.
