Impalers
The Impalers are a group of winged demons
that serve the god of Chaos, and they are
infamous for their cruel and sadistic nature.
They strike their foes from the air, rarely giving
them a fair chance to fight.
Death is just the ending. The Impalers are creatures of malice.
They take pleasure in the suffering of others, finding joy in the
anguish they inflict. They find mere killing to be a mundane
pursuit, a dull crescendo to the symphony of chaos they yearn.
These sinister entities are deeply entrenched in the maddening
influence of the god of Chaos, their very essence infused with
the malevolent magic that drives them not just to seek death but
to relish in the agony and suffering that accompany it. For the
Impalers, murder is an act to be savored. Prolonged to make the
torment inflicted upon their hapless victims as long as possible
as they delight in playing cruel games with them. My long life
has shown me that there exists an endless array of methods to
annihilate someone, so I can only imagine what anyone captured
by them might be faced with.
Origins of madness. One time, I stumbled across an individual
who, having escaped from an encampment of the Disciples of
Chaos, shared an intriguing story with me. This escapee had
served as a scribe for the army and had managed to get hold of
the annals of the Disciples of Chaos. The documents detailed
the origins of most groups, tracing them back to the worlds the
Disciples had conquered. However, there was a conspicuous
absence of information regarding the Impalers. Some whispered
that their homeworld had been razed to ruin eons ago, while
others speculated that they hailed from a myriad of realms,
each transformed into a similar form by the inexorable grip of
Chaos. There are even some dubious rumors that they might be
the mad god's own spawn, twisted and molded by his chaotic
whims. Attempts to converse with them yield little insight, for
each Impaler provides a different answer, often responding
with unintelligible riddles, as if they were mocking the question
rather than offering a genuine response.
Loyal but driven by desires. The Impalers are cunning and
manipulative beings, often luring their prey into carefully crafted
traps where they can savor every moment of suffering. At the
same time, they sometimes halt whatever they're doing just to
observe the suffering of others or spontaneously start inflicting
it. On occasion, they don't even reveal themselves, striking their
foes from the shadows, only escaping to attack again when
the opportunity arises. They are sure to play dirty just for the
joy it brings them. One certainty about these beings is their
unwavering loyalty to the god of Chaos. They are compelled to
sow discord wherever they tread, never contemplating betrayal
of their malevolent deity. However, when it comes to following
the orders of their fellow Disciples, a different story unfolds.
Treacherous intrigues and sinister ambitions often reign among
the ranks of the Disciples, but the Impalers are different. They
are driven by the essence of Chaos itself, making them, in some
ways, easier to understand than other Disciples.
They are, in essence, Chaos incarnate.
