Pre-Conjure Sands Demon

Vecaris, the Sands Demon

Exact Appearance: Vecaris embodies the vastness and timelessness of ancient deserts. Its form is often perceived as shifting, almost ethereal, as if made of fine, golden-brown grains of sand, sometimes coalescing into a more defined, robed figure. Its robes are the color of desert twilight or sun-baked earth, often appearing weathered by wind and time. Its eyes are like heat haze shimmering over dunes, or deep voids filled with countless moving grains of sand, holding immense, ancient knowledge. Its hands, when visible, are often dry and appear to hold the wisdom of ages, sometimes with faint, intricate markings resembling desert erosion patterns. The being carries an aura of immense age, patience, and the silent, slow transformation of landscapes. A dry, earthy scent, perhaps of dry herbs or ancient dust, accompanies its presence.
