THE REVENGE OF DERAT KHAN What is the revenge of Derat Khan? It is whatever the Storyteller needs it to be to fuel his plot. If there is an ancient artifact that needs adversaries to seek it out and wield it, or if the Storyteller needs a group of beings that seek noth- ing less than the death of the Unconquered Sun’s servants, the apheliotropes make excellent foils. The origin of the apheliotropes as offspring of a vengeful Solar Exalted can even make them perfect servants for Solar adversaries in your game — perhaps the apheliotropes believe the Solar in question to be a reincarnation of Derat Khan himself. An interesting plot possibility is that the apheliotropes see a player’s character as the rein- carnation of their ancient patriarch and seek to enlist him to their dark purpose.
