Carriers

Origin

Carriers are normal people that that were turned into little more then zombies after years of famines resulting from misrule and accidents. Months without food have driven them to consume rotten food that would make anyone ravenously sick. As time went on the decomposing food would remain and rot up there insides until there whole body resembled that of a corpse then a living being.

Carriers often hide in bodies of water to rid themselves of their decomposing bodies and were responsible to the contamination of large amounts of drinkable water.

They are feared among the living as everything they hold on to will be robbed of their life force making them rapidly age.

Encounters

Carriers are extremely despised and serve as outcasts in the social hierarchy. Which was worsened by there tendency to out of there way to seek help. They were often targeted by mobs under the influence of False Kings who used them as scapegoats during food shortages.

Behavior

Carriers like the Kelrecks utilize fear in order to overcome there opponents and while dangerous do not pose a threat from a long distance. Arrows and cross bolts are highly effective and will dispose of them with little to no casualties.In close range however they can become quite deadly as there grip is not easily broken and will continue to hold on to there opponent even after they die.

Under Tenek

Many carriers serve blindly to Tenek as they prayed to a God who would be able to remedy their own ailments. They are in turn are given enough protection to be spared from death.

He uses them in the Poligeno war to wipe out colonies of Polivorouks.

It was later learned that Tenek refused to cure them because they would no longer be of use to him.
