<p>2)Not so much a question as an observation, but: "Erasmus gradually identified each mysterious voice in turn, and finally understood they were the shades of his family—the spirits of his deceased brothers, father, and uncle—who endlessly dwelled upon the circumstances of their deaths".</p>

<p>Historically, "King" was "King No. 1": the head spirit of a band of similarly-named spirits (King No. 1, King No. 2, etc) who initially appeared at the seances held in the Koons spirit room in the 1850s, it eventually came out that "King No. 1" was actually the ghost of a spirit calling himself John King, who was in life actually named Henry Owen Morgan: aka Captain Morgan, the Welsh buccaneer who later loaned his name to a popular brand of rum.</p>
<p>From the Koons spirit room, John King would go on to have an incredibly busy afterlife, serving as a spirit guide to famous mediums such as the Davenport Brothers, Mrs. Guppy, William Eglinton, Nelson Holmes, Georgina Houghton, W.T. Stead, and one of my favorite spirit trumpet mediums, Etta Wriedt. </p>
<p>Famously, Eusapia Paladino made much use of King, Madame Blavatsky was well-acquainted with him (and some Theosophists suggested the famous Master Mahatma Koot Hoomi was a guise of King) and, above all, the medium Florence Cook summoned not only John King, but even more famously, his daughter Katie King, in a series of manifestations séances presided over by the famed scientist Sir William Crookes, in what are perhaps some of the most sensational and well-documented physical séances in history (if ever there was a real-life example of the Spiritualist class!).</p>
<p>Less famously, famed pirate-themed restaurant and nightclub owner (and the man credited with inventing the modern "night club") Don Dickerson, who owned clubs with Bod Hope, Errol Flynn, and other Hollywood luminaries, AND who consulted the Ouija board daily, communicated with John King regularly. You may or may not be surprised to learn that I own the original séance transcripts of Don Dickerson, where he carries on the tradition of communion with the spirit of John King over the course of several decades of his life.</p>

<p>The King is an archetype of human experience, the decision maker, the father. He could be Ulfen or Kellid, from the description. The theme of the character is one of (recent) ancestors guiding the character from beyond the grave, and Ulfen and Kellid blood does run through many of the families in Ustalav. So I conjecture that this King is the "father's father's father" of the character, and represents the CHA based spirits that Erasmus has access to.</p>Evil Finnish Chaos Beast wrote:They're beyond human comprehension.

What the 3pp spirit will need to do to interface with the class is pick one of the main 6 spirits that it replaces (so like a psionic path's spirit would probably replace archmage, or that skillsy Legendary Games path's spirit would probably replace trickster), and then the medium can contact spirits of the new legend instead of being able to contact spirits of the old legend. You can do this same sort of substitution without necessarily having another mythic path, thus allowing for a big potential for tinkering with the medium even without going into archetypes!Evil Midnight Lurker wrote:Hmmm.
