Pre-Conjure Ankou

Ankou - Daneis Pronounced De-neez

Appearance: Daneis takes the classic form of the Ankou, a harbinger of death. He is a skeletal figure draped in tattered black robes. He carries a scythe, but it is more a symbol of his role than a tool of violence. His presence is unsettling yet strangely calming. He sometimes appears riding an old rickety cart pulled by skeletal horses.
Eye Color: Empty sockets that seem to hold the infinite void of space. Sometimes, a faint purple glow can be seen.
Height: Around 6-7 feet, gaunt and imposing
How He Helps: Daneis is a teacher and guide through the realms of death and the harnessing of its energy.
Understanding Death: He helps his keeper to confront their fears about death and to understand its place in the cycle of life.
Healing: He teaches how to tap into death's energy to release blockages, old traumas, and stagnant energy that can be used for healing.
Communication with the Dead: He facilitates communication with spirits of the deceased, allowing for closure, guidance, or resolution of unfinished business. This requires respect and caution.
