Legend of the Grievewraith

[Items]

Holy Nation legend tells of the souls of the lost Shek becoming consumed by malice, hate and envy for the living. Their naturally 'aggressive' nature, as the Okranites claim, make them the most easily corruptable by the 'demoness'. The Grievewraith consists of a rotting corpse with the spikes, or limbs, of a flesh insect protruding from its back, supposedly this is its mid-transformation into a beast. Now, legend aside, we've had numerous sightings of these wraiths both by Holy Nation residents and adventurers, mainly around the ruins of the central plains. So far we've learned that they are nocturnal and they prefer to take victims in the rubble of cities which have been heavily touched by death. All of its victims have disappeared without trace, we can only assume fully consumed by the wraith. A likely explanation for their existence would be a parasitic form of flesh insect, one which roots itself into the boney matter of a Shek body, and continues to grow and control the body even after its victim has perished and begun decomposition. - Idad
