Homebrew Aurebris Species Details

Origins

During Anubis' bid for power in the Eastern Deserts, he realized he required an army. So he forged one, made in his image. The perfect warrior - tall, lithe, and ferocious. Their agility was unmatched on the battlefield, capable of weaving their way through a foe as easily as a fish through water. Theirs was a dance of death, and they were true masters of their craft. It was only when a group of heroes decided to put an end to Anubis' conquest by banishing him back to the Underworld that they began to show signs of independent thought. Though they retained their propensity for combat and an inner aggressiveness, rarely found outside of Orcs, some began to normalize and integrate into society. Wherever they went, they were met with suspicion.

 

Even though they were not trusted, they were sought after as mercenaries and bodyguards, as their prowess in combat was legendary. Their loyalty, once attained, was unquestionable, and they had no qualms about dying for their liege. A perfect soldier.
