The Terror - Look and Feel

Since the corruption became obvious in Elandra, they have been the four corrupted forces, the new path, whatever story the corrupted “priests” wished to spread. Except that only three of them were obvious.

The Terror, what little the world knows about them, is a force of manipulation, control and fear. The Terror’s servants are a much rarer sight than the other corrupted followers. As such, less information is public about them, making this a less complete look and feel.

I shall reject received wisdom and all those who hide behind comfortable lies, I will not allow my Truth to be stifled.

Colour Pallet:

Red and white accents

As the Terror are normally trying to go unnoticed, they are primarily seen in national clothing. When they are more in the open, they wear mostly all Red clothing.

Iconic markers:

Red bandanas around their neck. Emblazoned with a white eye.

Player Monstering:

The Terror for the moment are not going to be playable by players on their monstering slots. You may play people/monsters fighting alongside them or victims of theirs, but you will not play an agent of The Terror yourselves.

The primary reason is that the Terror do not operate in the same manner as the other forces of corruption. They very rarely are an organised military force; they operate by manipulating other forces and are a very rare encounter, only occasionally appearing in force together. For this reason, we do not foresee a large-scale battlefield with ALL terror as an encounter, so we do not need the numbers that player combat monstering gives us. This also gives the effect of players discovering more about this elusive faction in play, rather than when they volunteer.

Themes:

All of our corrupted forces are unapologetically forces of evil, and with that come evil themes. The terror especially deals with some dark themes around manipulation, body horror and human experimentation. Our plot writers and refs will try to advertise when these themes are present in encounters.

Please speak to us if you have any concerns about a plot line or encounter, so that we may address your concerns where possible.
