Rider of Torment

Harbingers of agony and enforcers of chaos.

The Riders of Torment are among the most feared entities in the armies of Discord, serving as harbingers of agony and chaos under the Slumbering King. Twisted by dark rituals and bound to ancient, malevolent forces, they are grotesque fusions of man and demon. Towering and sinewy, their scarred, leathery skin speaks of countless acts of self-inflicted mutilation, while their horrifying masks—adorned with the flayed faces of their victims—instill dread in all who encounter them. Draped in cloaks of animated human skin, pulsing with the tormented souls trapped within, the Riders embody corruption and perversion, their existence a living blight upon the natural order.

Not merely warriors, the Riders of Torment are custodians of dark knowledge, their grim libraries filled with blood-written tomes detailing rituals of pain and suffering. Believed to have once been a noble order, their descent into demonic servitude was marked by sacrificial rituals that bound their souls to Discord's malevolent power. On the battlefield, they are unmistakable, their massive frames and terrifying weapons breaking enemy lines and spreading chaos. Each strike they deliver is an act of deliberate torture, a physical manifestation of the suffering they exist to spread, and a grim reminder of the dominion of their master, the Slumbering King.
