Naqravek

Naqravek

Aspect: Nether · Nation: Zarakar

Overview

The Naqravek that guard the Zarakarian wastes are often regarded with less superstition and fear than the other Nether Chronikin of the region. Many of the more religious Zarakarians believe them to be shepherds of the dead, leading lost souls to the afterlife. They have even been seen congregating in great numbers around battlefields or places stricken with sickness. They exhibit no aggression and seem to merely wait until those on death’s door pass. If they mark someone that has defiled sacred tombs, they hunt them relentlessly, adding them to the graves they once plundered.
