Effigy's Husk

An Effigy of Skaen is only brought into being by those who are so oppressed they are willing to perform horrific, unspeakable acts to strike down their persecutors. The ritual requires a willing worshiper to submit to disfigurement, mutilation, and certain death. If the offering is accepted, Skaen manifests in the supplicant, transforming them into an unstoppable avatar of the god's will, and sets out to brutally slay the oppressors of the faithful. When the monster's bloodlust is sated, the effigy literally falls apart, its task fulfilled.

The remains of the creature are understandably avoided. They rot slowly, as even scavengers and vermin seem wary of touching such a carcass. It seems some daring or deranged tailor was not so discouraged. The stitching of this garment is rough but serviceable, and the mismatched patches of flesh have been treated with preserving oils. The macabre robe has the unmistakable stink of freshly tanned hide.
