Morn’s Pyre, Cursed Wisp – The Penitent Flame

Morn’s Pyre, Cursed Wisp – The Penitent Flame

Undead (Spirit)

Rising from a churning pillar of pyre flames while bound within a fractured pillory yoke, this screaming skull apparition brings chilling supernatural dread to the battle grid. Melted wax candelabras, heavy iron shackles, and wisps of spectral smoke venting through hollow eye sockets give the Artifact an unmistakable silhouette of restless torment. Keepers seeking an eerie crypt stalker, necromantic ritual hazard, or floating skirmish minion will find an atmospheric centerpiece designed to unsettle any expedition.

Tabletop Lore

Born from the violent ashes of condemned heretics and disgraced inquisitors, the Cursed Wisp is an agonizing fusion of lingering malice and eternal execution. Bound to the physical instruments of its final punishment, the spirit drifts through catacombs and executioner grounds, drawn relentlessly toward the warmth of the living. Its hollow screams ignite cold pyre flames, blinding trespassers with noxious vapors and dragging souls into the same suffocating judgment that ended its mortal life.

Highlight
