Harvester's Horns

───── Harvester's Horns ─────

Harvester’s Horns is a Blessing gifted upon Nemeion by the god Pan. It can create a range of horn and antler types, some of which are the classic-appearing horns of goats and cows, or antlers like deer. At times, they can even appear gnarled and strange, starting at the head and even running along the neck of the Nemeion.

This blessing is highly revered in Nemeia! Seen as a blessing from both Pan and Demeter, horned Nemeion born on a farm or during a harvest are seen as good luck and a promise for a fruitful season. During the Harvest Festival, farmers and others in the working class will dress their own Nemeion in horned headdresses made from goat and bull horns, or even the tusks of great boars, to try and gain the favor of the two gods.

───── How to Obtain ─────

This blessing can be applied to both Genos and Imports through the use of the Harvester’s Horns item, or by breeding to a Nemeion that already has the blessing. As a blessing, Harvester's Horns cannot be carried or removed once it has been applied.

[Minimum Example]

───── Horn Limits ─────

► At a minimum, horns created by the blessing must be at least the size of the stubbed tusks, or as seen in the example to the left.

► At a maximum, there currently is not an example limit. Designs will be assessed on a case by case basis until it is determined that a maximum example is necessary.

───── Guidelines ─────

► This blessing cannot mimic another blessing or curse in any way.

► Horns should mimic those of real life animals, being made up of keratin, antler or enamel (in cases of “teeth like” horns).
► They cannot be made of: wood, stone, gemstone, fire, ice, etc.

► The horns do not have to be symmetrical.

► Metal, wood or stone accent items can be attached via Facade of the Caesar, such as horn caps, vines wrapping around the horns, etc. but they cannot insinuate that the horn is made of an unnatural material.

► Horns can be almost any color, and do not have to match the coat color of the Nemeion, however they cannot glow.

► Harvester’s horns can also create keratinous, uneven growths on the jawline like seen on some dragons in video games, giving them a “beard” of sorts on the chin.

► Horns cannot replace tusks in any way, nor can they start from the mouth to mimic Freakish Fangs.

► Horns can grow back into the face as seen on some rams, however it cannot affect the eyes, mouth, nose, or other openings, and it cannot show blood or gore of any kind.

► When paired with Fiendish Battle Wounds, horns can grow out of the eye socket.
► If both eyes are replaced with horns, Blindness is required and cannot be removed even if the Nemeion is redesigned.

───── Horn Range ────

► Horns are required to begin on the head/face of the Nemeion (dark orange range), but they can extend as far as covering the neck in horn/antler like growths (lighter orange range).

───── Harvester’s Horns vs Facade ────

“Does this mean we can’t have horns as decoration anymore?” No! Nemeion are still allowed to have horns as decoration, however, it now comes with a new rule.

► Horns applied via Facade of the Caesar now required a visible strap or other type of clear “attachment” point that is not growing out of the Nemeion itself.
