Flesh-Eater Courts

Refreshed: January 2024.

Trapped in a tragic delusion, the mordants of the Flesh-eater Courts believe themselves to be noble knights and kings, inheritors of a proud lineage. In truth, however, they are vile, troglodytic cannibals who descend upon their foes in a rabid frenzy, slashing with filth-encrusted talons as they stuff chunks of torn meat into their mouths.
