| Notes |
Ajogun Ese doesn’t just punish misdeeds — it manifests through them. Its presence grows in spaces where people act unjustly, betray kin, or forget sacred laws.
When the god of wisdom wept at the first lie told among mortals, the tear fell upon a cracked calabash — from this Ajogun Ese slithered into the world. He crawls in unseen places, whispering small wrongs into hearts and feeding on their consequences.
Spirit & Physical Form:
• Spirit Form: A flickering shadow with no fixed shape, but always dragging heavy, invisible chains. Where it passes, footprints fill with blood.
• Mortal Form: A lean, tall man in judicial robes — eyes black, mouth sewn shut — who appears behind people moments before they break an oath.
•Burden of Guilt: Victim must make a Willpower roll or gain a Passion: “Guilt over Recent Action” at 1D4×10%.
•Curse of Misstep: Once per scene, target fails next skill roll automatically unless they confess a wrongdoing aloud.
•Mirror of Consequences (once/day): Shows a victim the worst possible result of their actions, requiring an opposed Willpower test or causing them to flee in panic
•Favors Offerings: Bones of liars, broken contracts written on palm leaves, copper rings twisted into knots.
•Taboos: To speak the truth with clarity near Ajogun Ese is to risk provoking it; it hates clean consciences.
