The Corrupted
The corrupted are a subgroup of the afflicted. These are the less fortunate souls, the ones expelled from the city for good.
Some of them exhibit simple mutations. Extra fingers. An extra tail. Eyes that look the wrong way. These are the ones who are affected most by their exile, torn from their families and ripped away from everything that they held dear. The majority of these and their sympathizers live in the caves beneath the Princess Aida’s mountain hold, propped up by food and supplies from them and the Commune of the Gods.
Among these are those such as merfolk, and avians that previously didn’t have wings, being from mythology that were neither evil nor good in the end. A mostly peaceful life on their own lies in wait for these folk, though every so often they’re roused to battle just as any other.
The other side of the Corrupted coin has it so much worse. These were the ones transformed into beasts, into monsters. Werewolves, vampires, shapeshifters and flesh eaters, all fall under this umbrella. Eldritch abominations galore, freakish things that the normal populace can’t stand to look like, every single one of them is driven out of the city.
They rest now inside of a forest camp, amongst ruins, an outsider leading them and planning their next move…
