Creatures of Ghor
Revenari
Revenari
Summary
The Revenari are Marked who have wholly yielded to the corruption of Ghor. No trace of inner resistance remains:
body, mind, and will are subsumed into Ghor’s purpose. Their forms often become more twisted—horns lengthened,
tails spined, eyes blackened or burning with a dull crimson glow. The Revenari serve as instruments of Ghor’s
will, carrying out his designs across Eonil. Redemption is unknown; only death severs their service.
Origins & Creation
All Revenari begin as Marked—either born into tainted bloodlines or, more rarely, created when mortals survive
direct exposure to Ghor’s power. Overuse of their corrupted gifts, prolonged contact with Ghor’s influence, or
surrender to temptation deepens the taint until a threshold is crossed. At that point, the individual is
claimed entirely, their will aligned with Ghor. This transformation is irreversible.
Physical Description
- Height: Typically similar to when they were Marked, though some physical changes can alter stature
- Lifespan: Varies; some die quickly in service, while others endure unnaturally long under corruption
- Build: Varies by individual
- Distinct Features: More extreme or exaggerated traits compared to the Marked—elongated or twisted horns, tails developing spines or barbs, eyes fully black or glowing faintly red, skin tone shifting toward ashen or unnatural shades
Culture & Society
- Habitat: Areas steeped in Ghor’s influence—corrupted ruins, cursed sites, or strongholds of his followers
- Social Structure: Operate within cults or warbands loyal to Ghor, often under the command of powerful corrupted leaders
- Traditions: Ceremonies marking their full surrender to Ghor’s will; veneration of corruption as a form of strength
- Economy: Dependent on raiding, pillaging, and the spoils of conquest
