Sarramean

The Sarramean are a cruel race of Spirits known for enslaving weaker creatures with their powerful spellcasting. They make their way to the Mortal Realm in order to find slaves to rule over. No one knows for sure what the Sarrameans' end goals are but the impact of their activity is being felt in all of the communities of Erthos.

Sarramean Mastermind:

Once a Sarramean enslaves enough sentient creatures, it absorbs their essence and changes. Its body grows and instead of a singular humanoid face, there are three of various genders.
