Florent Sanglant [Noble Phantasm]
Blossoms of the Bloody Flower
The secondary Noble Phantasm of Lucius Tiberius.
Owed to his legend of gathering together every magical beast remaining on the European continent, this Noble Phantasm is a corruption of the blessing of the goddess of flowers that allows him to “spawn” them and form an army of Phantasmal creatures to fight at his beck and call. Although their performance is lesser than it might have been while he was alive and these are not the same individuals he gathered under his banner, they are no less a powerful fighting force simply because they are imitations or lack the mystery and weight of a long, storied history.
In the first place, an army of magical beasts is a terrifying force to behold. The degree to which they are diminished does not change that.
When using this Noble Phantasm, Tiberius will stab his sword into the earth, and blood will flow from the blade into the soil. From this blood, these magical beasts will be born, sprouting from the ground fully formed and mature.
In function, there is a resemblance to one of the Noble Phantasms of Queen Medb of the Ulster Cycle. The difference is the beings spawned thereby, and the relationship between them and their creator.
