Appearance

Devüch seen only at night, he appears as a tall, black haired man who is slightly blue in color. He has never been nighted on the night of the new moon. He is both plump yet muscular, and yet he is extremely friendly looking.

Background

Devüch is mentioned very rarely, save in one song named 'The seven Martyrs'. According to this song, Devüch tried to destroy Malbus and failed. Here is his verse...

Wispy wind crossed the sun burnt sand
and as we flee the great War Lord's hand
here is the tale of the great Devüch, martyr
and as we hear his tale we shed a tear.

Begone all fear and fright!
For gaze to the East and watch the light!
He was the healer of the pods
the greatest chief of the Gods!

He was frozen to death on one cold night
and it was by the ice of War Lord's might
And now he moves to save others from his fate
his own joy is others to elate.

Current Sketch

It is said that all who could freeze on Al-Kathos' cold nights have a chance, if they were just, to be saved by Devüch, warmed all night in his large tent.
In the morning good aligned people are found in their destination with enough food to feed them for months, neutral people are just kept warm, and evil people are found dead.

Combat

It is unlikely that he would ever enter combat, but if he did he would be formidable. For more ghostly powers see Van Ritchen's Guide to Ghosts, a very useful book.
