Maenad

(image)

Among Xenoi, it is tradition for all citizens except high priestesses to willingly give their lives as a sacrifice to Maeveti upon reaching the age of three hundred. It is a gentle death, and is seen as a great honor, so it is rare for any to refuse it. However, the few that do refuse such an honor have to face the justice of the Twin Goddesses: the Maenads.

These creatures are the physical embodiment of slaughter, existing in a perpetual state of blind, psychotic rage. They see all around them as deserving victims of their goddess's hunger for souls. They have the same powers as a Maeveti Priestess, but lack what little kindness even a priestess of death possesses. With no reason nor sympathy, the death a Maenad brings is far from gentle. Only the strong wills of Maeveti and Naarae keep the Maenads from slaughtering the entire Xenoi populace.

Special Notes: This unit gains 1 hitpoint added to its maximum whenever it kills a living unit. During battle, this unit can drain life from victims to renew its own health. This unit has magical attacks, which always have a high chance of hitting an opponent. The victims of this unit’s poison will continually take damage until they can be cured in town or by a unit which cures. This unit’s arcane attack deals tremendous damage to magical creatures, and even some to mundane creatures. Whenever its berserk attack is used, this unit continues to push the attack until either it or its enemy lies dead.
