Lore
Scourgebornes should not exist. They are an abomination of the world, a vile curse placed on those peered beyond the veil and succumbed to madness. Their twisted appearance is but a mirror of the darkest recesses of their personality. All sentient creatures harbor a monster within their soul - the dark of you that resents your neighbor for having a better life than you, that hates your friends when they ignore you, that wishes to harm those that wrong you - most people are fortunate enough to be able to hide this monster behind a mask of false virtues. Not the Scourgeborne. Their curse has taken all the most twisted aspects of their personality and laid them bare for the whole world to see.They wear this disfigured appearance every day, the more resentment, hatred and anger one possesses, the more monstrous the appearance.
Many view this Eldritch revelation as a curse, a curse that drives one to slip deeper and deeper into the depths of depravity, until nothing but the monster remains. Yet,many refuse to let it break them - with their innermost darkness now visible for all to see, they have no choice but to accept it. It is said that accepting a fault is the first step in correcting it. Those scourgeborne who embrace their inner monster, but refuse to let it rule them, often become messianic heroes, attempting to redeem the entire world with their actions, and perhaps one day, themselves.
