Description and Lore
Sclavi were created many thousand of years ago by a dark tribe of Empyrean. Intending to make a race of servants and guards, they created the Sclavi from poisonous water snakes of the swamp in which they dwelled. What became of this tribe is revealed by the shard in the Drudge Citadel Vault; yet when the tribe members scattered, they left their creations unattended. Only, the Sclavi survived.
Originally endowed with hands and legs, the capricious magic of the Devastation ripped the species in twain, and fully half the species regressed to its earlier, serpentine form. This half continued as Sclavi, and now wage perpetual, resentful war against the other, more civilized half: the Mimbu.
In many ways, the Sclavi are a tragic race. They remain subtly "incomplete." While they possess basic emotions and reasoning, they tend to slip back into primitivism. Sclavi still inhabit the long-abandoned places where the tribes once lived and worshipped, and will perform the old rote tasks, carefully passed down from generation to generation. It is not uncommon for travelers in the jungles and swamps to come upon a congregation of Sclavi silently holding court, an altar laid out for ritual, awaiting a priestess who never comes.
