DESCRIPTION
The Whispergift is the first symbiotic parasite distributed by Mr. Usher’s cult, the Choir Below. Engineered through Sith alchemy and sustained by the Eidolon Vault’s hive-core, it is microscopic, biologically sophisticated, and horrifyingly elegant. Once implanted near the spine or base of the skull, it fuses into the host’s neural web and acts as both conduit and conductor—drawing a sliver of Force energy from Mr. Usher’s entechment lattice and delivering it into the bearer.
Recipients often experience euphoric dreams, whispers of approval, and growing hunger for “instructions.” While many hosts interpret the parasite as a blessing, all are ultimately expendable. Mr. Usher can see through their eyes, speak through their thoughts, or annihilate the parasite with a psychic command. Only those who serve without question retain the gifts long-term.
Force effects are diverse but effective. A soldier may experience unflinching calm. A cultist might see lies as colored lights. An assassin may walk unnoticed. But all know: their gift is borrowed.
