**The Complication that sounds right is a hidden demon or Lord of Dust that wants a bite of the newly baking Droaam pie. My footing's less steady on Eberron fiend lore, but I know they're subtle, that minotaurs worship an aspect of one, and that Znir gnolls fight hard to purge their influence inside and out. Daydreaming about bone lore and recovering memories from the dead gave me the title Name Eater. It won't appear onscreen, but its cult and cats-paws would. A journey upward wouldn't be as fun without something from the pits.
 
  
====''lan'' and ''bussan''====

==Powers/Abilities==
It is ''lan'' for gnolls to stalk, to kill, to endlessly fight, and to gnaw the bones of the slain. It is ''lan'' to keep your word, but not to hold back out of honor or decency. It is ''lan'' to steal the inheritance of the fiends, to greedily gnaw on their power and give nothing back.
 
 
 
It is ''bússan'' for gnolls to kill other gnolls for outsiders, although they will fight to first blood to fulfill a contract. It is ''bússan'' to let a gnoll be enslaved by mortal, monster, god, or fiend, especially the one inside. Znir and the pack always, always come first.
 
 
 
''is there any lan and bússan for Death-Blades, sheathed or not?''

*'''Redirect Passion:''' Step back your Unnamed Ability in order to step back your opponent's Effect Die.

*'''Flind's Flail d6''' (Rod of the Skull? Speaker's Mace? My Death is a nice blunt Black Tongue-ish name for reimagining an awful scary bad monster weapon as a symbol of self-reflection and respected authority)
 
*'''Aegis of Remarkable Reflection d6''' (a most excellent Dhakaani pavise with an unblemished mirrored surface, sized to be carried on one arm - sourced from the same hoard as Orophea's Diadem, with similar engravings on both)
