Annubian

Ancient sentries from Arikhet⁣, the Annubians or Khenra infused their bodies and souls with exotics magics that bound them to service. Truth surrounding the nature of their pact or many ceremonies and sacrifices involved have been lost to time. All that remains of their devotion are violent, wavering apparitions bound to their last stations in life. Thralls of Demon Lords, victims of an undead curse, or retinue of an ancient creed?

Role/Origin in Arikhet

Annubians remain a hotly disputed topic within circles of scholars studying Arikhet. One recovered stele outside of Dugar indicates an arduous blood magic ceremony. Acolytes of Suty, Lord of Black Sands, are immersed in pools of liquid jet. The emerging Annubians swore vows to their ebony lord and fraternity. Ariglyphs show little distinction between acolytes and full khenra other than their black color. Consensus within the otherwise divisive Arikhology community agree a probable connection to Greys and include this branch in their racial taxonomies.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Annubians appear as ebony, jackel-headed figures that resembled shorthaired Greys⁣. When not hardened into skin and muscle, their fiendish remains can disintegrate into a cloud of dark sand. In this form, Annubians expeditiously fly between locations and reintegrate with all personal effects.
