The Darkun is dedicated to evil and its propagation… These beings are religious fanatics who have committed their short existence to a faction of one of the elements (Fire, Air, Water, and Earth)… They usually shave their hair off, bear tattoos of their cult and basically use any means available to send their enemies to their death… They consider themselves missionaries, even if most people still ask themselves what their exact purpose is, apart from creating havoc and suffering… They enjoy practising the art of torture and spends a great deal of time inventing new means of inventing new means of inflicting pain and terror…
What is even more concerning about the Darkun is that they also ingest poison in order to build up their immune system… Numerous members of this class die very young because of these methods… They never wear armour but they may wear metal masks and helms, and carry shields etc… Most of them take some form of toxic substance to prepare themselves for battle… They also trade these substances for other weaponry… A great number of Darkuns specialise in martial arts and hand-to-hand combat…
Darkuns are usually found in the fortified monasteries of the dark factions, or involved in the most suicidal and deadly missions… It is not common for Darkuns from different factions to team up to fight their common enemy the Empire, but they are also involved in internal feuds that may result in them killing each other… Some Darkuns hunt Knights, the greatest targets being their sworn enemies the Red Guard of the Emperor… Hatred often clouds their judgement but some of them reach the age of around 30(Humans) and gain great power and respect from all younger adepts, who would willing die for the glory of the Faction…
