Executioner – Dark Elf HDPS

“Cursed sons of Naggaroth! Of all the druchii, perhaps none are more loathed amongst the Asur than the Executioners of Har Ganeth. Damnation upon that cursed city! Even to utter its name sends chills down my spine. The sinister Executioners thrive on the cries of the weak and defenseless, they drink the blood of fallen, they consume the flesh of the living. No, these are not living creatures, these are the foul spawn of the cytharai. Woe unto Ulthuan for having to suffer their existence. 

~ Prince Eothein of Cothique
