Hex hunters

Hex hunters bring their dark arts to battle

Nyss hex hunters are blighted sorcerers in the service of the Legion of the dragon Everblight .Long known for their proud tradition of sorcery, the Nyss have manifested the arcane spark in increasing numbers since the coming of the dragon and their baptism by his blight. The sorcerers of this accursed race once prided themselves on their knowledge of the Aeric script and reverent service to their frozen god, but they have now turned to the black secrets of ancient Morrdh, blending their most sacred traditions with blasphemous lore and the power of dragon blight. Instead of protecting and guiding their shards to safety, many among this new breed of Nyss sorcerers devote themselves to slaughter in the name of their master. From this terrifying blend of ancient lore and blighted radiance came the hex hunters, each a sadistic master of the art of death, whether by blade or fell magic.[1]

Hex hunters are nothing less than arcane assassins, living weapons who have forsaken the greater mysteries of the arcane to focus solely on destruction of the flesh. Armed with hex razors, weapons recovered from the dark and dangerous pits of the buried ruins of Morrdh, the hunters channel the deaths of their victims into potent occult energies. To be struck by such a blade is to feel one’s life unraveled by the blighted touch of death.[1]

Once unleashed upon the battlefield, hex hunters move with great alacrity, easily leaping across obstacles or difficult ground in their eagerness to kill in Everblight’s name, for he is their revered master. When they close with their victims, they lash out with their vicious razors and hex-borne blight magic, each death fueling a frenzy of murder.[1]
