Deities/Alyas Sayf

Alyas Sayf
Alyas Sayf (Safe Full Yaas See) is a either the name of the Celestial trapped in massive Great Sword sheathed in a bloody and tattered baby blanket, or it may be the name of the individual who became the Celestial after being tricked by a Demon into seeking revenge for her slain infant, or it may be the name of the sword itself since "Alyas Sayf" loosely translates to "The Sword of Hopelessness/Despair".

Alyas Sayf embodies utter hopelessness, and will encourage any demihuman who looks upon it to "lay down and die", or more accurately, simply take no actions at all because they are engulfed in despair. Affected demihumans may contest by rolling Willpower, and any number of successes shakes the demihuman loose.

The Wielder of Alyas Sayf, on the other hand, bears the intense urges to strike down anyone affected with hopelessness; Blinded by and yearning for unending revenge. The Wielder will see no difference in friend, foe, innocent, elders, children, etc...

For both effects, each full scene uncontested (or worse, consented to) permanently reduces their Willpower roll by one to shake free of its effects.

Backstory
Not much is known, as the Celestial never really engages with its victims. All that is known (and become immediate apparent to its victims) is that a woman in antiquity had lost her infant due to violence, most likely run thru with a sword. In her hopelessness, she made a infernal pact for the power to exact revenge upon those who took her child.

Her wish was granted, and she continued her endless march, slaying perpetrators and victims alike... to this day.

Powers
The Wielder does not make combat rolls against anyone who lost the hopelessness Willpower roll, they simply slay them in cold blood. Other victims may re-roll Willpower if they watch another die in this fashion.

The Hopeless and The Wielder may try to discuss, coerce, and engage Alyas Sayf in conversation. While it is a hopeless endeavor, they will find that Alyas Sayf is an Omniscient Unreliable Narrator, and has access to all knowledge of the past/present/future. This will typically be framed in why all mortal concerns are hopeless, and why all death is mercy, but y'all can read between the lines...

The Wielder (and possibly The Hopeless too) may spend an Astrylose and sheath the sword in the freshly "bloodied"(with your Astrylose) baby blanket, quelling its effects until events/circumstance/plot re-activate it. Could be a session, could be 1,000 years.
