Poison Dusk

The overlord Masvirik’s mortal servants comprise the Poison Dusk. The softskinned colonists believe the Poison Dusk is just another savage group of scales that inhabit the region, failing to appreciate the deep and fundamental differences between it and the other factions.
Masvirik’s corrupting influence touches all the scales of the region. The lizardfolk are the least vulnerable of the groups, shielded by the Silver Flame Flame and their shared dreams, but the Poison Dusk still counts lizardfolk amongst their numbers. The dragonborn are more vulnerable, and at the heights of his power Masvirik corrupted entire clans. The Irvhir kobolds and troglodytes are the most vulnerable—almost all the Q’barran members of each race are subjects of Masvirik.
The corruption of Masvirik takes a few forms. For most members of the Poison Dusk, it is a corruption of the soul and twisting of the mind, drawing them into his dark service. These corrupted members tend to suffer reduced mental capabilities, which they make up for in reckless strength.
More potent forms of corruption require the infusion of fiendish energy from dusk shards, typically by embedding the shard in the head or chest of a creature. At first, the fiendish spirits enhance and guide the living host, but as the spirit gains power it smothers the mortal soul, taking control of the body. Once fully consumed, these creatures are undead—a pile of skin and bones animated by the spirit of Masvirik rather than the power of Mabar.
