Disciples III New Assets: Legions of the Damned Modeus
The path of the man who decided to entrust himself to the hands of the fallen is long and arduous. Those who serve Bethrezen are experiencing multitudes of pain and torment. Their veins are filled with rage and hatred, giving them the power to go berserk on the battlefield. The spirit of fire is the origin of their lifeblood, allowing these creatures to grow great resistance to fire as they gain power over time.
As the possessed grow in power and hatred, the demonic spirit overtakes their soul, granting them great force and shielding them from pain. Only the chosen ones will be given true power so they will be able to become a high ranking modeuses, the strongest of all demonic wizards.
Modeus is the highest level that can be reached by a magician that is a servant of Bethrezen. The more powerful the magician, the closer he is to his cursed master. The face of the modeus is always hidden under a mask. His soul was burned by fire from an abyss that consumed all of his old feelings and memories. The flame of the modeus, the source of which is a fiery Hell itself, brings death to its enemies. A death that is impossible to escape or hide from.
To summon a modeus, admirers of Bethrezen build shrines and conduct heinous rituals coating the altars with the blood of the sacrificed. If the ritual is conducted properly, and enough miserable victims have died, the portal on the ground of the sanctuary opens. Through this portal, a monster comes to the land of Nevandaar from the Abyss: a beak-faced modeus.
Modeus ingests all negative emotions including anger, envy, fear and hatred. He uses the souls of the unfortunate victims as delicacies, burning them in the fire essence that is replacing the soul of modeus itself.
Those few who were lucky enough to survive after a terrible fire storm
sent by modeus, testify that the earth can not stand the damned
offspring, and he is slowly levitating above the surface, spreading
waves of horror around.
