Deathdealer

“Death fills me and makes me strong. You, it will reduce to nothing.”

The deathdealers are the bloodthirsty foot soldiers of Feyomsi's forces. Driven by the desire to curry favor with their necromantic master and and acquire power and status, the deathdealers will happily, gleefully carve a bloody swathe through the enemies of clan silumgar. These rakshasa are trained in necromantic arts that allow them to sap the life from their enemies to heal themselves or forestall exhaustion. Students of the necromancer Feyomsi, they feed on death, growing stronger as their foes wither and die.
