Sacristan Scourge

Pressed into servitude by the shadowcasters of the Umbral Court, these shambling assemblies of scarred flesh, jagged metal, and darkness incarnate would be pitiable if they did not pose such a deadly threat to those who meet them on the battlefield. Each of these companies is made up of dozens of velstracs whose bodies and spirits have been utterly broken by the agonies of the Netherworld. The horror of their brutal combat tactics is exceeded only by the chilling howls that herald their arrival, shattering the minds of even the most disciplined soldiers. Once a battle has concluded, many members of a sacristan scourge search for those who were wounded but are not yet dead to taste their exquisite suffering in their final moments.
