Tabletop Lore

Once proud soldiers sworn to protect the borders of Draksborne, those who fell to the most aggressive strands of the Dragonblight became something altogether monstrous. It seems that in individuals possessing immense martial prowess and heavy weaponry, the disease alters its containment strategy, actively bolstering its hold by channeling the victim’s raw discipline into growing masses of parasitic flesh. Using this hardened, mutated biomass as both impenetrable living armor and an additional biological blade, Vaelen walks the blighted ruins of Limlight as a mindless vanguard—a horrific testament to a kingdom’s dying breath.
