The Curse of the Abyssal Shaman Unisex Cut & Sew Tee (AOP)

In a realm beyond mortal comprehension, where the line between nightmare and reality blurs, there exists an ancient, forbidden power. It was once thought to be myth—a story told by elders to frighten the young, a whisper in the winds of long-forgotten lands. But the legend was real, and it was about to be unleashed upon the world once more.

The Abyssal Shaman, a being feared even by the gods themselves, had slumbered for millennia beneath the ocean’s deepest trench. His true name was lost to time, but he had been revered and worshipped in ancient days by a tribe now lost to history. These people believed in blood sacrifices and communion with dark entities from realms of madness, and their leader, the Shaman, was the conduit between the two worlds. Through an arcane ritual, he had bound himself with a powerful abyssal entity, gaining the power of death and decay, but at the cost of his humanity.

With his eyes gouged out and replaced by the unholy gaze of the deep, his head crowned with the feathers of extinct birds, and his body wrapped in cursed relics, the Shaman was a living conduit of chaos. His staff, carved from the bone of a sea leviathan, held the power to pierce both the mortal realm and the shadowy abyss. But his most terrifying feature was the writhing tentacles that replaced his lower jaw—limbs that reached out from another dimension, forever hungering for the souls of the living.

The Shaman was awoken once more when a group of foolish treasure hunters, lured by promises of untold riches, disturbed his resting place. They stumbled upon an ancient tomb, deep within the ocean’s maw, where his mummified form lay dormant. In their greed, they shattered the seal that kept his power confined. The Shaman, reanimated by the energy of the dark entity within him, rose again, his eyes glowing with malevolent intent.

Now, he roams the earth, seeking revenge on those who desecrated his tomb, as well as to reignite the old rituals that once brought forth destruction and madness. As the Shaman moves from village to village, a cursed fog follows, and strange symbols appear on the bodies of his victims, etched into their flesh by unseen hands. It is said that if you hear the echo of his bone-dagger scraping in the night, death will soon follow.

Only a handful of survivors tell the tale of encountering the Shaman, their eyes wide with terror as they recount the sight of his skeletal grin, his feathered crown glowing with otherworldly light, and his tentacles thrashing in anticipation of another soul to devour.

A prophecy speaks of a single warrior, a descendant of the ancient tribe, who might have the power to banish the Shaman back to the abyss from which he came. But time is running out, and the Shaman grows stronger with each passing day. The world teeters on the edge of oblivion, and soon, it may fall into the Abyssal Shaman’s grasp, swallowed whole by the very darkness he commands.
