By the flesh
And by the bone
Consome the soul
And it you own.
The Plight of Kytask
And wherein did we we begin?
We began in the cold. Such is our name. The
Nasyk—the cld people, the empty folk.
Cursed. Forgotten. Left behind.
We are not the beloved of
Euphraesthi. We are the despised. She said she would send aid to us, and she did not.
When the Verin came, they were as weak as we were.
Weaker.
But their deaths sustained us. Their flesh became the resources we were promised.
We were vilified for this, but it made us stronger. And each Verin soldier we met after that ended up in our maw.
This is where the Malisyk—The Hungry Folk—began.
The Redemption of Murder
Murder is a creature born of the spurning of the Malisyk. He is the epitome of their unceasing hunger. He brought a fresh order to the Malisyk, he brought aspirations and plans.
Guided by the hand of
Brood Blood-Kyn, he lead the Malisyk into an era of terror and domination over the north.
"This is how we eat," he said, and he showed us not just how to eat the meat, but to consume the very souls of our enemies.
