Overview
The Umbral Coterie is a terrifying warband of undead monstrosities that stalk the cursed lands of the Ravaged Coast. Led by The Master , once a noble ruler and now a shadowy predator, they exist as an extension of his delusional court of eternal feasting and conquest. Bound by madness and blood, the Coterie serves as both his royal entourage and his instruments of terror.
Composition & Members
The Master (The Umbrahex): A once-proud noble turned into a terrifying vampire lord, shrouded in myth and shadow. His will dominates the Coterie, forging his warriors into an unbreakable legion of darkness.
Lickspittle Esquire: The Master’s grotesque herald, jester, and deceiver. A twisted figure, once human, now a deformed and cunning manipulator.
Strachkvas Volchkar, Lord of the Hunt: The Master’s most devoted knight, a Varghulf bound by hunger and delusion, leading the eternal hunt on his monstrous kin-steeds.
The Shrike of Black Hollow: A Terrorgheist of immense size and malice, roosting in the Hollowvaults, descending upon enemies in an explosion of bone and shrieking death.
The Master’s Swarm: A host of vampiric bat-beasts that serve as spies, messengers, and executioners, spreading his will across the land.
The Knights of the Hunt Eternal: Once men, now monstrous Night Shriekers riding knights—hollow-eyed specters lost to the Master's delusions, their loyalty as unshakable as their hunger.
Purpose & Madness
The Umbral Coterie is more than a warband—it is a court of horror, bound by the shared delusion of noble grandeur. Those within its ranks see themselves as lords and knights of an eternal kingdom, their feasts and hunts grand affairs of honor and chivalry. To the outside world, they are mindless fiends, locked in an endless cycle of predation and madness.
The Hunt Eternal
Where the Coterie rides, death follows. Strachkvas and his Knights of the Hunt Eternal hunt tirelessly, their Morbhegs’ shrieks echoing through the night. The Shrike of Black Hollow soars above, and the Master watches from the shadows, orchestrating every move as his swarm spreads terror across the land.
Only the foolish dare to challenge them. Once the Umbral Coterie marks its prey, escape is impossible.
