| QUEEN | The Revanat Worm Queen is about a foot in length although She can grow longer. She is coiled around Her hive (see Hive) of about four-dozen nestlings. She is an eel-like abomination with green flesh covered in hard scales and a triangular head that has warts protruding from it. The tip of Her tail is forked and covered with sharp spines. She has red eyes that are elliptical in shape like a viper’s. In the triangular maw of Her mouth are rows of sharp teeth. Between Her fangs drips a slimy, milky, threadlike acidic fluid that can eat through any material except glass; the smell of this acid is extremely noxious.
Each time She lays her eggs She gives off a hemotoxin which destroys human blood cells. This happens about four times a year. This is when Reapers Transition.
She has a psychic bond—a symbiotic relationship—with Her host, the Reaper. She feeds off his blood and controls him with painful scrapes of Her spines upon his organs. She will bunch Her body against his back to create agonizing probes into his flesh.
She can cure illness, regenerate growth of organs or appendages that have been damaged or removed. Unless She suffers catastrophic harm such as massive ghoret bites (see below) or removal, She will heal Herself and Her Reaper indefinitely.
It is possible for Her to go into an extended state of hibernation if necessary to protect the life of Her host.

| RAPHIAN | A loathsome and depravd demon from the outer reaches of the Megaverse. Born within the slime of the Abyss,the Destroyer of Mens' Souls, has a long, leathery neck that is bent and twisted. The slavering gap of Its mouth opens to reveal row upon row of sharp, pointed teeth that click together as the giant maw of Its mouth opens and closes upon Its forked tongue. A thin drool of noxious phosphorescent green fluid drips from Its maw and where it lands it bubbles and boils like acid. The triangular green head resembles a viper's glistening with glowing scales the color of a dead man's flesh and has beady red eyes that flash like firelight. Its stench is akin to putrid vomitus. The entity hints of an evil so immense, so infinite, that those who look into Its eyes are lost, falling to the sand, their minds gone forever.
He influenced the Alliance to create the hell that was Riezell-Nine.

| SHADOWLORDS | Shadowlords are extremely powerful psychics with the ability to cast their thoughts at great distances, to read minds, direct others against their wills, and to levitate themselves or other objects. They answer ONLY to Morrigunia. They have fierce tempers that are often uncontrollable. When assembled as a team, the most powerful of them is chosen High Lord. They can kill easily when riled and have to watch their tempers.
The High Lord on Terra after the Burning War was Lord Kheelan Ben-Alkazar. His assistants were Lord Dunham Tarnes and Lord Naois Belvoir. They reside in the Citadel. They have as their secretaries: Argent, the silver-hair gatekeeper of the High Council, Argent’s blonde sister Aurelion, and Corallin—the third sister and red-haired gatekeeper.
Upon other worlds, the Shadowlords have garnered an infamous reputation as fierce warriors known as the Dark Lords of Death and are primarily used as protection for kings and queens. They are given Tenerse to control them. They also have rapid healing capabilities.

automatically by the Queen, it is believed She considers these laser brands special and likes to have Her Reapers marked in this way. A stylized
crimson Grim Reaper tat is applied to the Reaper's left pectoral. The blue clan tattoos are applied to the left side of the face and are as follows:
Birds = purity or nobility

| SPEAL | The Speal is the laser whip used by the Reapers. It has a dragon claw handle made from the purest grade sterling silver. The whip, itself, can only be wielded by the Reaper for whom it was cast. In the hands of anyone else, it is merely a handle; the laser business end of the whip will not activate. Upon coming into contact with rogue or human flesh, it cuts cleanly, burning through flesh like a hot knife through butter. It is capable of being flicked into incinerating the material at which it is directed. |
| SUSTENANCE | A Reaper must consume blood on a daily basis in order to maintain a normal existence. The lack of Sustenance causes discomfort and hunger that can only be assuaged with drinking the blood. Withholding Sustenance for a long period of time will result in the Reaper Transitioning to his lupine state and remaining that way until Sustenance and a large dose of Tenerse is supplied to him. Usually taken from donors and stored for the Reaper’s use, the most effective Sustenance would be, of course his own or that from another Reaper. Such blood is black so thus contaminated with the parasitic spores that make him what he is. Any blood a Reaper consumes is encrypted into his genetic makeup. It is bookmarked and stored for retrieval just as any data is. That is how a Reaper can find his target when he’s on a termination mission. He’s given a vial of the target’s blood and he will home in on that scent. |
