"Beware, the one that stands before you is no more. Their very soul and mind carved out to be nothing more than a puppet for a scriptwright who thinks himself a god. Their very being, devoured and linked together in his fetid brain mass. Even if they speak like the ones, you once knew, bring them a righteous and quick end before you meet the same fate! Be cautious of their deadly speed, immunity to blunt force, sharp claws, and caustic bite..." ~Thomza Materia

Hee-Ho howdy everyone, today we're going over well- one of the "Enemy" faction units. One of the more rivaling factions against the warrior of the pillars in which you of course can read up more on here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/50828972/

However, with the soulless making their play... It would seem the main leader of the Dragon Cult actually has other things in mind than just telling his followers that they are going to be just "worshipping" dragons that are not of Thomza and Tia's own brood. No, their leader is a dangerous scriptwright, a magic user who can physically make the universe's own laws bend to his will and with his powers, he's creating what is basically an army. Of course, the lesser troops and cultist bishops have no idea of his plans and are completely blind to his true intentions. Spreading his religion where he goes just to add more bodies to the horde and more people into his hive-mind. The Soulless are absolutely no exception to this as they're a direct result "fodder" unit of his own. Created out of sacrifices meant for "Dragons" and even disguised as such. That their souls "joined the great sky gardens with the dragons of old", and he told his followers that "all that is left is their husk that stayed behind."

Soulless are as the name implies, completely carved out bodies of sacrificed beings (which are mostly scalebolds and even in this image one is shown) hive mind controlled by the leader of the cult of the falling dragon. Acting as units that can easily take care of "heretics" without any questions asked and even fight in small insurgent battles and skirmishes. These monsters are locked to the shadows as only the high-ranking members know of their existence... Even if given a falsified story. Whoever they once were is completely gone and they're practically beefed-up magic zombies at this point.

Other than that? I got not much else to say on the matter outside of I might be showing off more of the main bad guys and even monsters of the planet before I continue to get into unit info on the good guys. Have a good day everyone and I hope you enjoyed as more will be revealed about the faction soon enough!

I want to point out that this is an Epic Dark Fantasy setting with a lot of mythological and religious tones and that there is no real-life connection to any of these events, religions, characters and it is fully, grounded, in fantasy. There is no copyright infringement also intended to other forms of media as Skin to Scales is meant to be its own thing and something I've been working on for a very long time. This is the same setting where faith is a massive part of the magic system.
