Tamer of Caves

The Tamers Of Caves are a Legacy associated with the Mastigos path, but no specific Order.

Philosophy
Meditative philosophies across the world have spoken of the purity of experience that comes from meditation on the void. The Tamers Of Caves seek to not simply draw wisdom from deep encounters with nothingness, but to embody that nothingness. They seek to annihilate their ego, systematically breaking down their perceptions of their identity and of the universe. Everything is nothing and nothing is everything, and as a consequence, to understand nothing is to understand everything.

Other people tend to find the Tamers Of Caves extremely annoying. They don't tend to care. There are rumours that certain radical Tamers Of Caves have turned to the Abyss for a true understanding of Nothingness and Void, but these are largely unsubstantiated.

Attainments
Tamers Of The Cave make heavy use of the Death arcanum, with Mind as a secondary focus.

The first power of the Tamers Of Caves is to produce the Etheric Mirror, a shining surface of utter nothingness that reflects everything and nothing. This becomes an integral part of their spellcasting, and can be used to reflect people's true state of mind, and to form a portal into the Twilight realms. In time, Tamers Of Caves can integrate the Mirror into themselves entirely, becoming a creature of being and non-being, slipping between worlds as easily as they would walk through a door. With some extra training a Tamer Of Caves can instill some of their own contemplative uncertainty into a target with a single question, or bring shadows of a person's true nature into being before their eyes.
