The Lost Species in The Sagas | World Anvil

The Lost

Those without souls never truly die

There are things worst than death, these beings were once mortals but manage to lose their souls in the process leaving them a empty shell from a condone simply know as Soul Deprivation. Though they still remain alive without decaying or aging. But instead their once natural appearance with a more twisted and horrifying form, each is different for each individual. They soon crave the taste of souls to fill their emptiness and the longer a Lost lives, madness eventually overcomes their sanity. Some tend to hunt in packs while others stalk their pray alone. Behavioral patterns seem almost non existent with the species altogether. Most tend to steal the skin of their victims in order blend in with the local population Like many supernatural creatures, information on the Lost is none existent and there are no known weaknesses that have been discovered, except for two, they fear holy relics and and can be killed by holy weapons. Along with any type of magic which seems to cause harm to them.
