OCTOBER REWARDS 4
🕑 Added 2023-11-09 10:57:34 +0000 UTC This is the White Queen. Also known as the White Mother, Unblemished Queen, the Queen of Filth, the Writhing Mother, or the 6th mother of the Crimson Child... TW for this one because it gets pretty rough. The Crimson Child is a strange entity, known to have been around since at least 6 BC, the Crimson Child is a creature thought to have existed even longer before that. The Crimson child is the messiah of the offshoot branches of Christianity and Catholicism known as the Acolytes of the Crimson Child. They also worship and adore her within the followers of Our Mother of Self Flagellation, The bearers of the Cross, and The Progenetor's chosen. The Acolytes of the Crimson Child however are those who stand closest to the beliefs of these 7 mothers and the Crimson Child itself. Acolytes of the Crimson Child believe themselves enlightened by the child, and they worship the ancient being known as Kar'Shud-dell, the proposed father of the Crimson child. Due to the time in which the story became known, it is believed that it could be a twist on the classic biblical story of Jesus, or that it may have inspired it, or that the crimson child's birth is simply an attempt to force the coming of Jesus. When the time is right, a chosen woman will be touched by god and impregnated against her will with the child. Visions will come to the Acolytes and tell them of the coming of the crimson child, and some may be able to track down the mother if she is not already among their ranks. During these moments the impregnated suffers from hideous visions and is accosted by the church and sometimes other spiritual entities. There have been times when the church would capture a woman and attempt to use her as a vessel for the Crimson Child as well. One such time took place in 1669 in France. A woman by the name of Delphine Mariette Chevalier was born in 1654 to the Chevalier family in Normandy, who was of relatively low standing in society, but was known for being born with pure, milky, ivory skin. Her skin was like porcelain and her hair was pitch black. She was known for her beauty since she was a baby, and even noble families offered for her hand in marriage. By the time she had reached womanhood, she was known as "peau sans tach" Or Unblemished skin and even as "Reine Blanche" the White Queen, as she never possessed acne, any cuts she received seemed to heal without a scar, and her skin was always perfect and flawless like porcelain. Unfortunately she was not of sound mind, and even when she reached an age where she could be married off, she maintained the mental faculties of a small child. She was known for whispering to small animals and insects, and it was said that one time someone witnessed her taking honey from a bee hive without being stung. She held such sway over the men in Normandy that rumors began that she could be a witch. This was made even worse when she turned 14, and her family's carriage was lost in a storm, falling from a cliffside, and they found her, unscathed in the woods, where the cart, her parents, and the horses had been battered and mutilated by the fall and then eaten by wild animals. When they asked what happened, she said that she saw a strange blue man by the road an hour before the incident took place. The church took her in, not to care for her, but because they believed her to possess the devil's gift. When she was held at the church, she began showing signs of sickness and stomach pain, and they realized that she had become pregnant. The men that watched her were acolytes of the Crimson Child, and they tortured, raped, and abused the girl for quite some time, and when she became pregnant they assumed it was one of theirs, and began trying to kill her to ensure that she would never talk. No matter how they beat her or abused her, her body remained unblemished. During the witch trials that were held in 1669, She was punished by having a metal mask heated and placed on her face. They put a collar on her with spikes that pointed inward, bound her wrists together in shackles, and connected two more shackles each to her neck collar, forcing her in a position where she would have to keep her arms elevated and behind her head. They stripped her naked and put her before the town while they called her insults and threw things at her. It was during these torturous moments when she began screaming about visions of the future and foretold the deaths of several members of the church. They tortured her, bolting braces to her legs and putting screws through her bones to force her in a high-heel standing position, and began putting screws into the mask she wore, burying them deep into her skull. When she had a miscarriage, they found the next day that it had been a massive maggot and not a child at all, and yet something within her still moved. They continued to torture her and revere her as her body festered with maggots and flies, but she would still not die. Her back became hunched and bloated as it writhed with insects that infected the wounds on her back. The witch trials were called off by King Louis XIV, and the Acolytes were chased from town due to their increasingly vile behavior, taking their white queen with them as they fled to Bengal. When she finally gave birth, the child was born eyeless, bloodless, and not breathing, but slowly grew over the course of one day into a small girl, and from the white queen came a flood of hornets, flies, and crawling things as her body began to wither and finally show signs of torture and abuse. The acolytes of the Crimson Child were sent to false Rapture, and the Crimson Child was borne again, bringing terror and violence to those around the city while the white queen continued to birth insect plagues from her tortured body, and a massive fly like creature would burst free from her back. It is unknown when she was finally slain, or when the Crimson Child was laid to rest once more, but it is believed by occultists that she is the cause for the Famine in Bengal that killed over three million people. If the White Queen wasn't a witch before, she certainly was one now. She would slowly shamble, quietly sobbing and breathing heavily, toward towns and villages, appearing in the night and destroying crops, killing livestock, and spreading disease wherever she would appear. She walked bloodless, and when one would strike her, her perfect skin would rupture and free torrents of insects upon her attackers, and it was believed that wounds inflicted upon her, will return to you, festering and infested within several days. In addition her skin seemed to be hydrophobic, and any and all blood or liquid with which she came into contact with would immediately flow off without leaving a stain. Where she went, the crimson child would follow. Rapturing those whom she found, and unleashing stigmata upon everyone she saw fit. It is believed that the White queen was eventually slain in an old fountain, which was then abandoned, though it is believed that in the right conditions, this fountain will fill with blood and the unblemished queen will rise from within. Pristine and unblemished from the blood that cannot stain her skin. It is thought that in his time, Zeiros Geinn, the famed German painter of "The Blue Gentleman" had tracked down the fountain and had it removed, and that it goes along with many of his own art and historical pieces within the various museums. It is believed that on occasion they would summon the White queen from where she shambles in the fog to birth fourth a new plague, and that on occasion she will transform into a much more hideous abomination of fly limbs as the unborn creatures feeding on her hatred attempt to leave her body but are unable to do so. Sightings of the White Queen are rare, though in some circumstances, one may come across her, shambling in the night, wheezing and slowly approaching, and she is said to be seen on occasion when a new mother of the Crimson child would be selected, as if passing the torch to the next. Moreso, anyone dealing with her influence will more than likely be dealing with cultists of the church that don her mask and similar torture devices, torturing themselves and infesting their own bodies with maggots and bees and learning horrid spells to command and summon swarms, or rarely, members of a lesser known church known as The Church of our lady Delphine the pure, who worship who she once was and attempt to thwart the actions of the Acolytes whenever they can. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a classic monster of mine! And out of the trio with the White Queen, the Blue gentleman, and the Crimson Child, I only have one more to go! So maybe we'll see her next year. These monsters are a big part of a very short D&D campaign I ran one time and they've become favorites among my group ever since.
