| Concupiscentia |
Concupiscentia, known
as the Consort Tentigo among the giants, found it difficult to be around any creature
that wasn’t overcome with desire for her therefore Duke Amduscias always made
her uncomfortable. Concupiscentia’s time
in this world had released her skills of seduction from eons of misuse in her
mother’s hellish domain, the respect of mortals a given either through desire
or intimidation. The Duke, a war general with over two dozen companies of Devils at his command, could not be tempted by
her variations of danger, flesh, or fantasy. It had been many months since their last
consultation and the daughter of Tiamat was experiencing a true rarity, someone
that could speak contemptuously to her and live. To Amduscias’ credit, the plan was almost
entirely his and brilliant in its execution, however his contempt for her
contributions to their partnership was troubling.

“So far our attacks have not revealed any of the Virtues,
save one on the South Central Coast protecting Labiatar, your
little gnome trick is working quite well actually” Duke Amduscias explained,
never pausing for question or comment, “Our attacks have caught the leaders of
the island unprepared and we have been spectacular in our successes, the Virtues will soon be forced to act. Gillespie informs me your little warlord ordered him to move against some of the crusaders who have entered the fight
against us, I hope you have more warlords available because I have given Gillespie
different orders..”

At this news Concupiscentia interrupted, “Couldn’t you send
him some help? It’s the resources rather than the overall cost that troubles
me, I’m sure some of your men would relish the chance to slay some idiot
mortals in search of glory before attacking the one Dragon of Virtue we know
of?”
Duke Amduscias grimaced but nodded before continuing with
his report on the first stages of their war.

Concupiscence (from Late Latin noun concupiscentia, from the Latin verb concupiscere, from con-, "with", here an intensifier, + cupi(d)-, "desiring" + -escere, a verb-forming suffix denoting beginning of a process or state) is an ardent, usually sensual, longing.
