8.6.17 Executors

As the final years of the Age of Conflict came to a close, Severn meticulously engineered the Second Ankyrean War to achieve the complete extermination of the Ankyreans. Yet for all His machinations, not every Ankyrean was caught within His deadly web. Some fled from the horrors of war, while others discerned the deceit of the God and chose to escape. To these elusive few, Severn assigned His Executors - a cadre of zealous assassins with a single, unyielding purpose: to fulfil Severn's divine will.

Forming compact units - for no lone rellyw could rival the power of an Ankyrean - the Executors fanned out across the continent. Through their mastery of Shadowdancing, Artifice, and Subversion, they relentlessly pursued their demigod adversaries. Into the deepest corners of the wilderness they ventured, where their targets sought refuge away from the prying eyes of man and God alike.

Wielding ringblades, Executors practised the deadly art of Shadowdancing, seamlessly working in tandem with their partners to execute their targets with deadly grace. With Artifice, they navigated the wilderness with stealth, tracking their quarry and conjuring inked creatures to hunt alongside them. Employing Subversion, the Executors set deadly traps to waylay their targets, making use of precise bolts to harass them from a distance.

As the final Ankyrean fell, Severn's plan was at last complete. He enacted the Grand Artifice - a great veil to rob the world of its memories - and granted His faithful Executors reprieve in the form of a new existence. Many settled in the tranquil village of Nuunva, living their subsequent lives as Indyuk warriors.

Following Severn's demise some centuries later, the cryptic inheritance the fallen God bequeathed His city of Spinesreach guided the mortals to the village of Nuunva. Here, they unearthed and rekindled the dormant memories of the Executors. Thus reawakened, the Executors reaffirmed their commitment to carry out their God's dying will.
