The Horde

The Horde was a mercenary assassin cult that was founded within the country of Asterpol.

Members of the Horde are forced to leave behind all previous aspects of their lives upon joining the cult. These cultists, who are referred to as Pawns, lose all sense of individuality, taking on the name of the Horde.

The Horde often speaks in the third-person, referring to themselves as one entity. Members are dressed in long black cloaks and wear black gloves in an attempt to cover their skin. Each member of the Horde wears a bronze mask, shaped to resemble the form of a human face.

To the Horde, revealing one's flesh is worse than death. Should a member of the Horde remove their mask before an audience, they would immediately lose their name and placement in the Horde. Members of the Horde find this act to be traitorous, and offenders are often punished by means of torture, and by eventual death.
