He
appears as a
giant reddish grey
human. His 4 eye sockets
have multiple irises and pupils. He
is never armed, fighting
with his massive clawed hands. but sports
a large magical belt (See below).
If
attacked for three rounds, he heals everyone to full health then
disappears. During this three rounds of combat, he will listen to any
who have tried to hit him and missed. Of these combatants, there is a
50% chance of granting one of them a limited wish. The limited wish
arrives one hour after his departure.
Acyfer’s
magical belt is an artifact in itself. Any who don it, in addition to
it having standard artifact abilities
(I:A,GG;II:T,YY;IV:J(x3),V:V(x10);VI:I),
will summon 0-19
temporions (cf.).
Temples
of Acyfer are so
non-contemporary that they are seldom called “temples”. Worship
is usually in cave,
cellar and developed undergrounds (city works) usually reserved for
Mystery type cults (and
plays).
His
priests are never
druids despite his
neutral outlook. The clergy will either be modified clerics or
profaners (cf. “...SO
BELOW Part One” in this blog).
Clerics
of Acyfer will not
exceed 8th
level, turning good and evil results only in ignoring, protection
from evil is in regards to any alignment, and
never have access to 5th, 6th, and 7th level spells in any form. In
addition clerics get the ability at 8th
level to
conjure any single temporion at random.

IN
THE WORLD OF THE SWORDLANDS (Gene’s Campaign): Acyfer the
Anti-Demon, was once described, by the adventurer Corlag, as a real
neutral’s neutral. That is, Acyfer is so neutral that its
unconventional. In the philosophies regarding this being, it is
simply put that as all druids head into the wilderness, all followers
of Acyfer gravitate the other way. Not exactly to cities but half the
way there from rustic pagan splendor to the dross suburbs and the
criminally infested outer wards.
Across
the Swordlands and the surrounding expanses, Acyfer is briefly
mentioned in a popular mythic romance cycle called Atlaw &
Chorins often heard in odd taverns serving hot foreign beverages.
This recounts the tale of a profaner and a druidess and how Acyfer
was less caring in his neutrality than the goddess of the druids
(Runa the Wild Empress).
The
are legends of a mysterious loose order of knights called the Knights
Anti-Templar who carry the stylized symbol of Acyfer emblazoned on
their banners and shield devices.
Green
pseudosmaritans (...So Below Part One A) will usually feign to be his
clerics and sometimes are found in the sacred cave complexes..
