Cythian Mordrake

A deadly myth, or a deadly creature? It is hard to tell. Perhaps it will be known, one day.

Legend
Cythian Mordrake is an ancient being and is known as the Caller in ancient texts, of which tell of a shadowy man who will re-summon the world’s end. Scholars today identify this mysterious figure as the caller of the Beacon, and believe him to have caused the Curse of the Beacon a century ago, thus spreading a deadly, horrific corruption that plagues the center of Draivros. He is noted within the many texts that mention him to be capable of wielding many different types of weapons and can even fight weaponized opponents without a weapon himself, marking him as a dangerous individual, if he is an individual.

The ancient texts that mention Cythian are spread throughout all of history itself, with the very first known written text mentioning the mysterious figure. Texts since then often mention Cythian at the center of every great catastrophe in Draivros, since as deadly famines or assassinations of important Royallian figures. These texts also often mention Cythian as a servant of the Mad King. However, scholars are unsure whenever the many stories of Cythian are true or just a convenient scapegoat for others to explain the reasoning behind why catastrophes occur. One certainly hopes it to be the latter.

The mysterious figure known as Cythian is often noted in the texts to be wearing a long black coat over midnight armor of unknown origins. Those who write about his weapons often note of the many multiscythes he wields, weapons of torture and pain along with forbidden magics, though it is not unknown to see texts about Cythian using different weapons, often the victims, against his foes.
