Sylvaneth – Spite-Revenants
5" 2 5+ 1 Spite-Revenants are shrieking terrors wrought in the image of the deepest and most twisted woodlands. Light and shadow fluctuate around these ghastly beings as they tear and bite their victims, rending to bloody tatters any who do not fling down their weapons and flee. The Spite-Revenants were not grown like other Sylvaneth, but simply appeared within the Mortal Reams in increasing numbers since the winter of Alarielle’s despair. They embody the darkest of the natural cycles which sees them shunned even by their own kin, some of whom believe that their bitter malaise can spread. Many Spite-Revenants band together in exile and are collectively known as the Outcasts.
Some say the Spite-Revenants were once spites who made grim bargains in an effort to become true Sylvaneth, or else are the product of a ritual of Alarielle’s that went hideously awry. When war calls, these twisted creatures creep forth from hidden groves, bodies glowing with eerie wisp-lights. Though their talons are sharp, the greatest weapon of the Spite-Revenants are their voices, for while they cannot harmonise with the spirit-song, they wail cacophonies of nerveshredding dissonance. | ||
