Whenever you break your word (either purposefully or unintentionally), you become sickened for 24 hours or until you meet your obligation, whichever comes first. However, once per day, you can make a vow to yourself that grants a +4 morale bonus on any one roll you make while trying to fulfill a promise made to another individual.

At 5th level, you gain a +3 competence bonus on Diplomacy, Intimidate, and Sense Motive checks while talking to an individual one-on-one.

At 10th level, you can make a new saving throw each minute to resist mind-affecting effects as your subconscious searches for loopholes.

At 2nd level, an ancient lorekeeper's mastery of elven legends and philosophy has allowed her to master one spell used by elven wizards. She selects one spell from the sorcerer/wizard spell list that is at least one level lower than the highest-level oracle spell she can cast. The ancient lorekeeper gains this as a bonus spell known. The spell is treated as one level higher than its true level for all purposes. The ancient lorekeeper may choose an additional spell at 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 12th, 14th, 16th, and 18th levels.

This ability replaces the bonus spells she would normally gain at these levels from her chosen mystery.

Spells Selected: Prestidigitation (2nd), Mage Armor (4th), Invisibility (6th), Haste (8th), Greater Invisibility (10th), Monstrous Physical III (12th)

Whenever you're below 0 hit points, you automatically stabilize without needing to attempt a Constitution check. If you have an ability that allows you to act while below 0 hit points, you still lose hit points for taking actions, as specified by that ability. Bleed damage still causes you to lose hit points when below 0 hit points. In addition, you don't die until your total number of negative hit points is equal to or greater than double your Constitution score.

Mythic characters can draw upon a wellspring of power to accomplish amazing deeds and cheat fate. This power is used by a number of different abilities. Each day, you can expend an amount of mythic power equal to 3 plus double your mythic tier (5/day at 1st tier, 7/day at 2nd, etc.). This amount is your maximum amount of mythic power. If an ability allows you to regain uses of your mythic power, you can never have more than this amount.

You can call upon your mythic power to overcome difficult challenges. You can expend one use of mythic power to increase any d20 roll you just made by rolling 1d6 and adding it to the result. Using this ability is an immediate action taken after the result of the original roll is revealed. This can change the outcome of the roll. The bonus die gained by using this ability increases to 1d8 at 4th tier, 1d10 at 7th tier, and 1d12 at 10th tier.

As a standard action, you can expend one use of mythic power to cast any one divine spell without expending a prepared spell or spell slot. The spell must be on one of your divine class spell lists (or your domain or mystery spell list), must be of a level that you can cast with that divine spellcasting class, and must have a casting time of "1 standard action" (or less). You don’t need to have the spell prepared, nor does it need to be on your list of spells known. When casting a spell in this way, you treat your caster level as 2 levels higher for the purpose of any effect dependent on level. You can apply any metamagic feats you know to this spell, but its total adjusted level can’t be greater than that of the highest-level divine spell you can cast from that spellcasting class.

Tier 1 - Undetectable: This grants its bonded user the ability to become utterly undetectable while invisible. While invisible and in physical contact with this item, the bonded creature can't be detected or scryed by any method.

Tier 2 - Legendary Fortification: When a critical hit or sneak attack is scored against a creature wearing an item with this ability, the wearer can expend one use of legendary power to negate the critical hit or sneak attack and instead take normal damage. Only armor, shields, and worn items can have this ability.

Tier 3 - Powerful: An item with this ability has two additional uses of legendary power per day. This ability can be taken up to three times. The item must be a minor or major artifact to take this a second time, and a major artifact to take this a third time. This is a persistent ability.

At 2nd tier, you gain a bonus on initiative checks equal to your mythic tier. In addition, as a free action on your turn, you can expend one use of mythic power to take an additional standard action during that turn. This additional standard action can't be used to cast a spell. You can't gain an extra action in this way more than once per round.

When determining the effects of your domain's granted powers, you're considered 4 levels higher. This increases the effects of powers you have access to, but doesn't grant you powers at a lower level than normal. Once per day, you can expend one use of mythic power as a standard action to regain the use of all your domain granted powers as if you had rested for 8 hours.

If you're an oracle, all aspects of this ability apply to your revelations instead of to domain granted powers. You must have the domain class feature or mystery class feature to select this ability.

At 3rd tier, you are restored to full hit points after 8 hours of rest so long as you aren't dead. In addition, by expending one use of mythic power and resting for 1 hour, you regain a number of hit points equal to half your full hit points (up to a maximum of your full hit points) and regain the use of any class features that are limited to a certain number of uses per day (such as barbarian rage, bardic performance, spells per day, and so on). This rest is treated as 8 hours of sleep for such abilities. This rest doesn't refresh uses of mythic power or any mythic abilities that are limited to a number of times per day.

Whenever you cast a spell with a duration of 10 minutes per level or longer upon one willing target, you can change that spell's duration to 24 hours. If the spell has other duration conditions, those still apply (for example, the duration of stoneskin changes to 24 hours or until discharged). A creature can't be subject to more than one spell affected by this ability at a time; if another is cast upon the creature, the first one ends. You can select this ability a second time at 6th tier or higher. The second time you select it, you can use it on spells with a duration of 1 minute per level or longer.

You can craft any magic item as if you had the necessary item creation feats. If you actually have the item creation feat needed for a magic item you're crafting, whenever you attempt a skill check to create that item, roll twice and use the higher result, and you make twice as much progress on the item for any time spent. This ability does not reduce the item's cost or any other requirements.

Your ability to magically adopt other forms is unparalleled, and you can expertly translate your arcane might into brawn. You add half your tier to the caster level of spells or extracts from the polymorph subschool. While under the effects of a spell or extract of the polymorph subschool, you can use your caster level instead of your base attack bonus when making natural attacks that rely on your new form.

At 5th tier, whenever you succeed at a saving throw against a spell or special ability, you suffer no effects as long as that ability didn't come from a mythic source (such as a creature with a mythic tier or mythic ranks). If you fail a saving throw that results from a mythic source, you take the full effects as normal.

You can learn a number of mythic spells equal to your tier and can expend mythic power when casting them to enhance the results. To select a mythic spell, you must be able to cast the non-mythic version or have it on your list of spells known. Every time you gain a new tier, you can select an additional mythic spell. You can take this ability up to three times. Each additional time you take it, you can select an additional number of spells equal to your tier and you gain one additional mythic spell whenever you gain a tier.

At 7th tier, you can exert your will to force events to unfold as you would like. As an immediate action, you can expend one use of mythic power to reroll a d20 roll you just made, or force any non-mythic creature to reroll a d20 roll it just made. You can use this ability after the results are revealed. Whoever rerolls a roll must take the result of the second roll, even if it is lower.

When hit by a melee or ranged attack, you can expend one use of mythic power as an immediate action to replace yourself with an illusory duplicate and teleport to any open square within 30 feet of your current position. You take no damage from this attack, which instead destroys your illusory duplicate (similar to mirror image). Using this ability requires a line of effect to the square into which you teleport.

At 8th tier, you can expend one use of mythic power as a free action to immediately end any one of the following conditions currently affecting you: bleed, blind, confused, cowering, dazed, dazzled, deafened, entangled, exhausted, fascinated, fatigued, frightened, nauseated, panicked, paralyzed, shaken, sickened, staggered, or stunned. All other conditions and effects remain, even those resulting from the same spell or effect that caused the selected condition. You can use this ability at the start of your turn even if a condition would prevent you from acting.

For example, bestow curse has no effect on you, and you can handle, carry, or discard a cursed magic item without harm. If a cursed item has useful functions and a cursed effect (such as armor of arrow attraction) or drawback (such as a mace of blood), you are immune to the cursed effect and drawback, and can still use its other abilities. If a cursed item works normally for a period of time before its curse triggers (such as gauntlets of fumbling), the item stops working for you when the curse would normally trigger. If you're an oracle, you can ignore the negative effects of your oracle's curse.

On a cold winter’s night, Yulia dreamed.

OoOoO

The Lunar Oracle wished that she knew more about her heritage, but both ends of the family line were vague in their own ways.

It was well known that her mother Hilda Rockne suffered from wanderlust, so little documentation existed on her. From what little Yulia could piece together, she knew that her mother loved exploring her homelands. As a Desnan druid, it was just a fact of life for her. However, her wanderings were surprisingly structured. Hilda was widely known throughout the Lands of the Linnorm Kings as one of the greatest guides in the region.

Together with her tiger companion Trigva, they would help guide and escort Ulfen trade caravans across the icy tundras of the Linnorm Kingdoms. Hilda was known for leading her charges in the form of a great white dire tiger. Her life had been simple and straightforward. She took a job, safely escorted her charges to their destination, and saw the land’s sights as she traveled.

Then she had met Raelrunodin…

In her youth, Hilda often escorted Ulfen traders into the remote territory of Icemark to do business with the Varki tribes. During one such adventures, she accidentally wandered into the outpost of Elfmeet. The initial encounter proved to be tense for both parties; it was the first time in her life that Hilda had seen elves, and it was the first time that the elves had seen tigers. However, Desna has luckily blessed Hilda’s animal forms with the gift of speech not too long beforehand, and one of the Snowcasters had a decent grasp of Skald.

Contrary to what one might think, the Snowcasters proved to be rather tolerant of the newcomer. Perhaps all of their previous interaction with the Varki left them much less xenophobic than others of their kind. Regardless, Raelrunodin served as the guide’s guide during her month long stay at Elfmeet. A bit of trading was done between both parties, and stories of their homelands were exchanged. There was instant chemistry between the two, and one thing quickly lead to another. They departed on excellent terms.

A year later, Yulia was born.

OoOoO

After ten years, Hilda finally decided to travel back to Elfmeet. Yulia would never be sure why her mother took so long to go back. Perhaps it was because of how slowly she grew up relative to the other children. Maybe it was because her mother was worried about her father’s reaction to the news that he had a surprise daughter. Whatever the reason, the Rockne family was going back.

“Ready, Yuyu?” Hilda cooed as she gently placed a gloved hand on her daughter’s shoulder.

Under her long, braided blonde hair, Yulia felt her pointed ears droop. It was a curious tic of hers. Anyone who knew her well would recognize it as a telltale sign of sadness or nervousness.

“What if he doesn’t like me?” she asked softly, glancing down at her tiny boots. Well, tried would be a better description. Yulia was so short that she was literally knee-high in the snow.

Her mother chuckled lightly and pulled her daughter into a tight, tender hug. “Your father’s people don’t change nearly as much as we Ulfen do, Yuyu. To him, our last meeting was practically yesterday.”

“What’s that gotta do with anything?” Yulia asked curiously as she returned the embrace.

“In other words, he is the same wonderful man that swooned me off my feet a decade ago,” Hilda replied as she broke the hug and gave the small girl a kind smile. “His people place a lot of emphasis on family. I am sure that includes you.”

With that said, Hilda watched as her mother called over Trigva. Despite being loaded up with assorted gear, the giant tiger swiftly hurried over to their side and knelt down in the snowy ground. With minimal effort, Hilda quickly lifted her daughter onto the tiger’s saddle and strapped her in securely. Once finished, the druid climbed on herself, settled in behind Yulia, patted her animal companion’s side, and uttered “Trigva, yip yip!”

“...I’m gonna get me a tiger one of these days,” Yulia declared as the trio darted into the wilderness.

OoOoO

Unlike many others, Yulia’s first adventure was nothing but wonderful. She had never been on one of her mother’s expeditions until now. The elder Rockne had taken a hiatus from her travels for about four years before their funds began to run short. Whenever she had taken a guide job, the druid left her daughter with trusted friends in the Desnan faith. The long times alone had been difficult at first, but Hilda had always kept her trips as short as possible, though she always seemed slightly pained

Yulia now knew why.

This was just… awesome.

Trigva tore across the tundra at a rapid pace. A gentle snowfall danced around them. The cold had never really bothered her. As the daughter of a Desnan druid, Yulia had inherited some of her mother’s connection with the Star Goddess, one of which seemed to be protection from the elements. Sure, she had a hard time getting the power to work most of the time, but when she did, it felt amazing.

Just like running through the snow while riding a giant tiger.

She really wanted to do this again.

OoOoO

“So this is her?”

Yulia “eeped” and quickly hide behind her mother’s legs, earning another hearty chuckle from the much taller Ulfen woman.

“Yuyu! No need to be scared,” her mother said gently as she softly nudged the little half-elf forward.

The tall, lanky Snowcaster elf before her carefully took a step forward and kneeled to eliminate the massive height gap between the two of them.

“She’s a splitting image of you, Hilly.”

Yulia glanced up and found herself agreeing with the elf's statement. She looked very little like her supposed father. His wispy hair was snow white, while hers was a moderate blonde and braided. His eyes were a deep, piercing orange, while Yulia’s were the same emerald green as those of her mother. His skin was strangely pink; her was fair.

But those ears…

Yulia absentmindedly brushed her hair to the side, revealing a pointed ear of similar shape. Granted, the elf’s were longer in length, but the resemblance was still there.

Her supposed father smiled and extended a hand in her direction.

“Want to meet the rest of the family, little one?” he asked kindly.

Yulia glanced back her mother, who was watching the scene intently. She stood there for a moment, shin high in the newly fallen snow. Finally, with a nod, Yulia reached out and took the Snowcaster elf’s hand.

Neither of her parents stopped smiling for the rest of the day.

OoOoO

Yulia listened carefully to her parents talking as they all sat around the roaring campfire. The other Snowcaster elves were off doing their elven things. Her reception had been much warmer than she first thought; while no one back home ever said anything to her face, her heritage was often the subject of much whispering. Elves must not be very common in the rest of the Linnorm Kingdoms.

The Snowcasters just accepted her existence and welcomed her to the family. Very strange indeed. Yulia got the feeling that they were normally a bit hesitant around outsiders. Raelrunodin must have been popular amongst his people...

“Her magic seems to fail a lot. She can cast after several tries, but given how dangerous it is out there, I would like for her to be able to do it without failure. I thought it was her age, but I was able to cast my first Orison when I was ten. Little Yuyu sometimes manages, but-”

“She’s only ten? She looks like she’s fifty!” remarked Raelruinodin with a light laugh, earning a puzzled glance from his daughter.

“Elves age a lot slower than we do, Yuyu,” her mother explained as she softly stroked Trigva’s snowy pelt. “It takes them over a hundred years to reach adulthood.”

“...That’s crazy,” mumbled Yulia under her breath.

“Regardless, I think I can help,” Raelruinodin said as he beckoned his daughter to come over, which she did after some coaxing. The Snowcaster elf silently asked for her hand, which Yulia absentmindedly offered. He quickly took of the little half-elf’s glove and held up his free hand.

“Nothing in my hand,” her father said dramatically as he turned it from palm to back to show that there was indeed nothing there. “And nothing down my sleeve…”

“You’re not wearing sleeves,” Hilda commented dryly in the background.

Raelruinodin ignored her. He suddenly snapped and produced a tiny ring from thin air. Yulia’s ears dropped in amazement.

“This is what my people call a focus. Some of us casters just need a place to focus our magic before unleashing it. These are much more common for arcanists, but I have heard tales of some diviners needing them if they have arcane blood in the family,” he explained as he slipped the small trinket on her ring finger. After slipping her glove back on, Raelruinodin added, “We’ll hammer out the details tomorrow, but this should make it a lot easier to channel your ma-”

Yulia didn’t know what compelled her to suddenly hug the man; she just did.

OoOoO

Time flashed forward.

OoOoO

“They call him Jörmungandr.”

Her father nodded solemnly. After a long moment, the lanky Snowcaster replied, “I know of the beast; my people consider him second only to Great Fafnir.”

Raelruinodin quietly took a place next to his adult daughter, who was perched on a log and sitting before a giant, frost-covered stone. Arms wrapped around her knees and covered by a heavy winter wolf coat of fur, she stared blankly at the inscription.

In Loving Memory of Hilda Rockne.
She died a warrior’s death.

“...I’ll get her back one of these days,” Yulia declared firmly, her voice sharp like Ulfen steel. However, she paused for a moment before sighing in frustration. Her ears drooped. “But that’s easier said than done.”

“I know, Yuyu; you told me,” Raelruinodin replied as he gave her a gentle, one-armed hug. “It didn’t even leave a single hair behind; resurrection is going to be… problematic.”

A moment of silence.

“...Why are you taking this so well?” Yulia asked rather suddenly, her voice a bit more bitter than she intended. “I thought your people cared about family.”

“Our people do, Yuyu,” Raelruinodin answered swiftly, almost surprised by Yulia’s choice of words. With a sigh, he pulled her closer and whispered, “...I miss her dearly. Your visits were my favorite time of the year. When I got your Sending, I got here as fast as I could! I...”

Yulia felt her green eyes begin to tear up.

The winter wind howled.

“There is a time and place for sorrow,” her father explained carefully. With his free hand, he brushed aside a long lock of snow white hair and added, “Right now, I need to be strong. For her. For you.”

Yulia said nothing.

“You’ve always been your mother’s daughter, Yuyu. If the situation was reversed, she would be planning to hunt down Jörmungandr. You intend to do the same, don’t you?”

Silence reigned.
hampion
“...I can help. I am not much of a warrior, but I have a way with my people’s magic. I can teach it you. I know that your innate power has always been more divine in nature, but there’s something about you…”

Raelruinodin turned to face Yulia, who was still gazing absentmindedly at the gravestone. He withdrew his arm from around her shoulder and brushed aside her long, braided hair, revealing a slightly drooped pointed ear.

“...Thank you,” the half-elf finally whispered.

She quickly threw both arms around her astonished father. To his credit, he quickly returned the embrace.

Ambitious; Clever; Honorable; Kind; Motherly; Optimistic; Proactive; Pragmatic; Proud;

Heavily devoted to the teachings of Desna, Yulia generally strives to be a good person. She frequently goes out of her way to fix that assorted problems of the Lands of the Linnorm Kings, even when it is not necessary. An relatively open-minded and accepting individual, she is an upbeat, talkative individual, who almost never gives up hope. However, her general approach to facing a problem can be a bit surprising given how open and straightforward she makes people think she is. In short, Yulia is much more crafty and tricky than most people would assume, often quietly studying problems from a point of near invisibility before moving against it head on from the shadows.

Sporting a strong, muscular body build, the Desnan Oracle stands a towering six feet, four inches. She hides her eleven heritage well. Her pointed ears - well hidden by her long, braided, blonde hair - are the only giveaway. Like many Ulfen women, Yulia likes to dress in white furs and bright colors such as red and yellow. She walks with a slight limp, but years of practice have let her hide decently enough.

Intelligent; Loyal; Thoughtful; Reserved; Quiet;

A soft-spoken, reserved person by nature, Imperia is Yulia's polar opposite in many ways. Unlike Yulia (who has to make an effort not to stick out), she blends in without trying. Also in contrast to Yulia, Imperia prefers not to get her hands dirty, instead letting her summons fight on the front lines. The Chelxian Sorceress is considerably more cautious than her friend. Additionally, she is an intelligent, well-educated individual, who loves to loan her knowledge to Yulia when asked.

Standing at a modest five foot two inches, Imperia is a petite, slender woman. She can be described as rather pretty and slightly alluring in appearance. She generally keeps her lithe arms hugging her small frame and dresses in dark colors not unlike her eyes and long hair.
