Apu, of the Inca

Asset Skills: Culture, Leadership

Scent of the Divine:  Llama wool, thin mountain air; the whistling whir of a sling

Apu Motif

By calling upon the cosmic energies flowing through huacas, ceyce lines, mountains, their follower’s sacrifices, and the stars themselves, the Apu fuel their prodigious powers.

The Apu and their Scions summon fire to warm mortal followers or turn it upon their foes. Lightning heralds much-needed rain for crops or is woven into clothing.  Earth is summoned to reduce opposing strongholds to dust or drawn into the Apu’s very being to make them hard as stone. The Apu feel the energies flowing through every stone, tree, mountain vista, and star, changing and being changed by the Apu in an endless cycle of birth, death, and renewal.

Apu Signature Purview: Pachakutic

Pachakutic Innate Power

You may sense huacas, or sacred sites, within (Legend) miles. These sites include Touchstones, sacred spaces of another pantheon or shrines to other Scions or Gods, but also a general awareness situational Sanctums and an understanding of the conditions necessary to generate those Sanctums. You may also sense the flow of energies through the earth and sky, allowing you to perfectly determine the weather. When in the presence of the sacred and making an appropriate sacrifice (Hero p. 188; this Purview grants you intuitive knowledge of what an appropriate sacrifice entails), you may benefit from minor sacrifices once per short-term Deed rather than onc per story arc. This innate power will not reveal gates or axes mundi.
