Sublimati

The Sublimati, or Refined, are a special type of Pandoran found in Promethean: The Created. Sublimati are more sentient than their Pandoran cousins and almost human-like in their intelligence, able to plan out grand schemes, place enemies under careful observation, and provide threats to Prometheans and mortals on a large scale. They often have lesser Pandorans under their control, and occasionally humans who form cults in their name. In Second Edition, they are also unique in their ability to use Centimani Transmutations and their ability to (inefficiently) metabolize human flesh, giving them a secondary source of Pyros and the ability to delay Dormancy indefinitely.

Sublimati differ from other Pandorans because of an excess one key ingredient: Vitriol. For example, something goes wrong during a creation rite and the body of a would-be Promethean splits apart, forming into several Pandorans. One part of these Praecipitatus might be able to absorb the other Pandorans' Vitriol and can use it to improve their intellect. Similarly, a Pandoran who is constantly successful in capturing and devouring the Vitriol of Prometheans can improve themselves in the same way, as can a Pandoran who absorbs some or all of their creator's Vitriol at the moment of creation.

Known Sublimati

  • Lady of Chains - Arguably the most famous sublimatus, the Lady of Chains, an Ishtari who has existed for over two centuries and has developed a massive organization, the Cult of Chains, that is dedicated to her plans and views and has spread across Europe and Asia.
  • Astrid the Stormbringer - The Stormbringer is a myth among the Created of Europe. Tales of her are of a Flux-tainted wanderer arriving to a Wasteland inflicted area, an army of Pandorans by her side. She is known for her serene expression
  • Coeus - The Living Brain is the result of an Extempore’s generative act gone wrong. It desperately wishes to be more than a brain, constantly snaring passerby’s to act as it’s host, so that it may one day attain a Promethean body to further its goals.
  • Daisy - Daisy is a masterwork - a Sublimatus created by a Wretched Centimanus. She exists as something not too dissimilar to a living Athanor.
  • Mortimer - Mortimer is a being crafted to look like the stereotypical, friendly-looking tin man. However, behind this friendly exterior is a cruel, sadistic creature that believes it exists to test Prometheans.
  • SK/23 - This Sublimatus is a living computer virus, a malignant being that infects victims via techno-spores and devours them,
  • Spark - Spark is a firebug- obsessed for a fault with Firestorms, using them as a way to harvest Vitriol.
