Accursed

The Accursed were the footsoldierss of the Gods of Darkness of the First Pantheon.

History
Accursed first appeared in the years following the creation of the Gods of Light and Gods of Darkness. Humans who turned to evil deeds were expelled from paradise into the lands beyond where it was expected that they would die or live a life of solitude. What actually occurred was something far worse.

The first of these men and women slowly stumbled back to the poeple of light as rotted monsters, only followigg the commands of their dark masterswho had made them thus. Soon more and more humans were taken, sometimes by force to join the ranks of the Accursed. It was their initial appearance in the world that caused the outbreak of the first wars.

From the ranks of Accursed came the first Demons, selected at random from those who survived the initial battles. Accursed lived a unending life of torture and continuous pain resulting from their transformation. They did not die until they found themselves killed in battle by the servants of light.

Accursed remained an active threat all throughout the reign of the First Pantheon.



Appearance
Accursed appeared as twisted versions of what they had been in life. They wore no armor, but instead shambled about completely naked. Their flesh was rotten and covered in boils that festered and leaked black blood. Their eyes were all gouged out leaving two black holes in their faces above the sewn shut mouths. For weapons they each had both of their hands removed above the wrist and replaced with rusted iron swords.
