Sandmen

The Sandmen are wretched thener, who happened to be in the wrong soul ritual. After a series of event that went wrong for them, and later for their captors, they had their souls ravaged from their creator Liro, and stolen by a lesser demon, Xalatro, who offered an aid in their pain.

The souls went through a long and painful degradation process after their bodies were consumed by twisted magics, which rendered the few surviving thener into mad and chaotic Sandmen, spirits housed in elemental sand bodies. They were just a few in the beginning, but after Xalatro fostered them, they found a way to reproduce disregard their elemental status. And their numbers grew fast.

In the exterior they have a thener-like silhouette, but made of sand. Sometimes they get depleted and they expose their sandy skeleton, and they prevent this by wearing heavy clothes and bandages, to keep everything in place. Their magic capabilities also degraded, limiting their past vast potential. As disconnected from their creators as one can be, they also opened the path of the amage, in which they excel as great engineers. Also, they´re prone to leaving the Blekkazot in favor of the Renegades, because as much as they like chaos and destruction, they have a great pain in their souls to cope with, and the chaotic animosity of the Blekkazot doesn´t give enough space as to let it rest.

In their day-to-day lives, they try to cope with their pain, as much as inflicting some in everyone around them. They roam the sands and ambush and pillage everything that isn´t an ally. They stay close to each other because they know only other Sandmen can understand them, and they follow the original Sandmen because they know their pain is greater, their resolution is darker and their connection to their new divinity, Xalatro, is unique. They put their arms and spells to the command of those who gave them all they are: wretched beings.

"Our pain is constant and sharp, and we do not hope for a better world for anyone, in fact, we want our pain inflicted on others".
