Rider of Despair

Riders of Despair are foul demons that bring order to the chaotic ranks of Discord. 

All things require order, and the demons of Discord are no different. Without a King or Queen to rule them, the Riders took on a new role - as leaders. When the last King of Discord was destroyed, the forces of Discord were scattered across Yhtar, finding their home amongst the last bastion of mortal civilization in Reclamation. 

Unlike the other demons that dwell within Reclamation, those of Discord thrive on the fears of mortal creatures. Wherever there are mortals who hold fear in their hearts, there will be demons of Discord nearby. 

Riders of Discord are the manifestation made flesh of those fears. They are a primal representation, and only grow more powerful as those they subjugate become more fearful. Despair, being one of the core tenants of Discord, manifests itself as a cloaked figure wielding an executioner’s axe. Sometimes encountered on foot, it is more commonly seen soaring high above the wastes, sometimes even targeting travellers for sport. When mounted, it sits high upon the back of a great Discordian Peregrinus - a fiend born of the mortal fear of being hunted from above. They attack in tandem, and very rarely are they driven off once they have their sights set upon prey.
