About Xanithar Corruption
3 years ago
I know everyone has been getting a bunch of xanithar corruptions recently, and I'm so happy he can spread himself around (gonna post another blessed by our favourite demon dragon soon). HOWEVER. Just know I have other Seers who can corrupt and inhabit the body of mortals:
While Xanithar is a being of pure chaos, he revels in manipulating mortals and destruction of civilization. That might not be your character's thing. Corruption to me is an extreme, the representation of the loss of moral judgement no matter to what end, whether it be a authortarian society of order or complete anarchy. I have plenty of examples of his corruption in his folder https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery.....14062/Xanithar
Hypatia, (NSFW) https://www.furaffinity.net/view/34706987/ for example, is the seer of passions. Ambition to her is the means and the ends. Your desire is your own, she just fuels that desire and pushes you forward to reach that goal whether noble or evil. My character Nuru is an example of corruption by her, in a noncanon world where she was pushed to prove her role as head of her tribe and beat of her challengers she became a ruthless tyrant dedicated on unifying her people in conquest https://www.furaffinity.net/view/37021395/ . Plus you get a really nice red makeover :p
Phreadus, https://www.furaffinity.net/view/43237249/ , is the seer of nature/war. To him, the natural order should usurp all other priorities. Survival of the fittest, where one's dominance should stifle all other motivations. Trickery is a tool of cowards, and only those with the character to never give up and make use of their strength (sometimes magical) are to be rewarded and lead society. I do have a really old reference of corruption by phreadus (NSFW) https://www.furaffinity.net/view/35051454/ , but honestly I'd go a little less tentacally and go for a more corrupted druid shaman/barbarian kind of look. The colour scheme is on point tho.
I have the 3 other seers of order, (Order, Peace, Hope) but I doubt anyone would be interested in "good" corruption where your quest for order or justice begin to distort your morality to a obsessive degree. Something like a Paladin who burns an entire city out of suspicion of heresy for example with the seer of order. The seer of peace so distanced and seperated from reality in her dreamlike state that her followers never awake from their peaceful meditation along with allowing their physical forms to morph and shift like water. All seers at the end of the day are extreme, and none of them having an influence on you is "good".
I have more details in the start of my scribbles I call my "lore", so if your interested just read up my terrible writing there. If confused can always ask a question in the comments :> https://www.furaffinity.net/view/45618377/

Phreadus would be cool for like corrupted evil druids, monstrous creatures that absorb the power of those they defeat etc. Sorcerors blessed with incredible arcane powers of domination and forbidden magicks.
You can at least see the potential we have! Other than evil dragon destruction, chaos fire etc.
And of course there's goo but without tentacles XD
Also the corruption from seers of order sounds fun and perhaps even more evil. I dunno but if "technically" the one, who has to protect me, is also my threat, probably I will be more afraid XD
Just in case, I couldn't read all about them, I have got little time right now.
The seers of order are tricky mostly cause medeia and Cyrus don’t have designs yet so :>
Not enough interest to motivate me to do it haha
When you said about were-creatures, I couldn't avoid thinking in create some kind of apostols or heralds who are touched by Phreadus in a ritual.
Imagine attack villages and convert the survivors to spread the word of Phaedrus like a barbaric shaman king <3
I'd live to get corrupted by him ovo
Also I am a little curious about your other "good" seers, if you wouldn't mind indulging me (or us, if you make another journal about them) sometime :3.
As for seers of order, I'll need to actully catch up on their lore page, which I intend to do later tonight if all my plans work out. I was curious about any aesthetics you had in mind for them. Of course because they are more of a WIP I understand if that's not really available yet. I'll definitely need to pick your brain sometime though!
Definitely characterized by a more warm and gold aesthetic rather than cold and dark.
Though, what would corruption from the seer of Hope do? Would you become something that forcibly twists the minds around you to be happy and hopeful for the future? Turn people into creatures of good and hope with some aura?
Well I'm still concepting Cyrus, My best guess would be a sort of extreme determination like the paladin example for him. But idk maybe good corruption could work too. Medeia is easier cause theres that sort of detachment for reality that she has goin on.
