Akkyshans
+
The dread inspired by the Akkyshans is carved into the mind of
 +
every living being: the fear of the silent shadow, the terror of a
 +
deadly, unpredictable and inexplicable threat. To a warrior of
 +
Akkyshan, every living being is not only an enemy, but also prey.
 +
Th e defeated enemy is a food source the children of the web of
 +
Ashinân will feed on. Th is way they will grow stronger, become
 +
even more dangerous and defeat even more prey.

== History ==

 +
 
 +
Th e history of the Akkyshan
 +
began in the forest of Quithayran.
 +
Th e sole heiress to the
 +
throne was Scaëlin, a woman so
 +
beautiful that a god noticed her and
 +
came to woo her. Th e god’s wife, furious,
 +
cursed Scaëlin and stole her beauty.
 +
To obtain utter revenge, she appeared before her victim in the shape of a spider. She presented
 +
herself as Lilith, the Widow, and off ered to restore the young
 +
elven lady’s beauty one day, in exchange for unfailing adoration.
 +
Scaëlin accepted and became a priestess as powerful as
 +
she was monstrous. She was soon hunted down by her people
 +
for the gruesome crimes she had committed to serve her goddess.
 +
However, protected by her powers, Scaëlin evaded her pursuers
 +
and found refuge in the forest of Ashinân. Th ere, like
 +
spiders, she and her female servants gave birth to extraordinarily
 +
numerous off spring. Soon, a new society was born. A
 +
matriarchal society submitted to the almighty power of Lilith
 +
and her fi rst servant, Scaëlin.
 +
Ever since, the Akkyshan have been patiently waiting to
 +
ring the hour of revenge. With the Rag’narok the long awaited
 +
opportunity has come. Th eir forces have gathered in massive
 +
numbers on the shores of the Ynkarô with growing warbands
 +
of marauders testing the walls of Cadwallon, which would
 +
be the ideal beachhead to bring fi re and poison to Laroq, the
 +
capital of the Cynwäll.
 +
 
 +
== Ragn'arok ==
 +
 
 +
Th e Akkyshans have known for a long time that Creation
 +
is coming to an end. Th is does not worry the people of the
 +
Spider, who believe this end serves a greater design. Th e Akkyshans
 +
consider that Light has destroyed the grace of Creation
 +
by binding it in shackles of morality and kindness. Th e time
 +
has come to start over again, to create a world that will suit
 +
the wish of Lilith: a land where the strong shall survive and
 +
where the weak will be used to feed them. Considering this
 +
point of view, the Akkyshans are the future of Aarklash. Only
 +
the strongest will survive the battles, and the servants of Lilith
 +
shall be part of the chosen few.
 +
Yet, few Akkyshans think about the Rag’narok. Most of
 +
them fi ght because their superiors order them to. With the
 +
of the web of Ashinân, absolute
 +
unquestioned obedience is an unyielding
 +
Scaëlin can sense that the time
 +
revenge is close; her dutiful soldiers
 +
already on the move. Th ey are
 +
aware that a fate worse than death
 +
awaits them if they fail their mistress.
 +
For them it is not that much
 +
of a constraint, quite the contrary
 +
actually: war also helps
 +
satisfy the most voracious of
 +
appetites, after all.
 +
 
 +
== Army ==
 +
Th e army of the Spider is organized in concentric circles of
 +
power. Th e members of each cast are loyally protected by the
 +
warriors of the rank below. Th e inferior shield their superiors,
 +
such is the law of Ashinân. Th e Akkyshans have a taste for
 +
sacrifi ces: members of the lower casts are thoroughly conditioned;
 +
they will gladly sacrifi ce their lives and souls whenever
 +
they are given the order.
 +
Th e heart of the army is constituted by the most powerful
 +
matriarchs: the sorceresses of the Widow. Th ese accomplished
 +
witches and priestesses are formidable assassins. Th ey
 +
casually sacrifi ce masses of lower class soldiers to feed their
 +
blood fuelled magic, in order to please the cannibal goddess
 +
or to conceal themselves and deal the fi nal strike that will seal
 +
their victory.
 +
Around them, the other high ranking Akkyshans form the
 +
elite units. Th e terrifying orb-weavers, whose body is half that
 +
of an elf and half that of a spider, or the venom-warrioresses
 +
form a close guard. Th is strike force defeats the enemy using
 +
iron, terror and poison. To feed their frenzy, these units will
 +
make no distinction when killing allies and enemies alike.At the bottom of the hierarchy
 +
the main body of
 +
the army is found. Semiferal
 +
creatures, such as
 +
the barghest and various
 +
giant insects, line up in
 +
monstrous ranks. Soldiers – those too young to have yet shown
 +
their worth in combat and the declining elders – are lined up
 +
with slaves whose minds have been darkened by the curses of
 +
the sorceresses of the Widow. Th ey are disposable, they ought
 +
to be the fi rst to volunteer for sacrifi ce in gruesome rituals of
 +
black magic practiced by the higher ranking Akkyshans.
