September Preview: Legions of Khurybah Hollow Ones

Added 2022-08-23 16:15:43 +0000 UTC

Hey there all! What's this - three updates in two days? Pfft, it's not like I'm working dusk till dawn to make up for a delayed start or anything, don't even think it!

Anyway, today, I present the latest addition to the Legions of Khurybah, the Hollow Ones:

As the Daemons of Khurybah rise, dragging the bones and flesh of the fallen together into warped, broken bodies, some find themselves with the ability to animate those still alive. Like puppets, those unfortunate enough to encounter a spirit with this power are stripped of their autonomy, simply guided by the hateful whims of their new master, and too, like them, their bones gradually warp, distending from their skin and forming huge talons, perfect for tearing apart both their friends, families, enemies and innocent bystanders without any distinction, nor any choice of their own. Though known as Hollowed Ones, or Hollows, as their appearance has earned them a reputation for being without souls, they are tortured still further than that by being perfectly conscious, and aware of their actions, but unable to change them. It tends to be their last act of defiance to scratch out their eyes with their bare hands, knowing their fate, and knowing the best they can do is blind themselves to it.

Note that these guys aren't quite finished, but as before, are good enough to show off - these will be the first selection of the Hollow Ones available, and as more factions within The Promised Land are explored, more Hollow Ones will be made to accommodate for the diversity of races enthralled by the Legions of Khurybah as Hollows.
