The Cultist is a Creature that appears in War for the Overworld.

"Hemotomaniac, works in the Archive and Sanctuary."

Background

The Cultist is a frail creature who has sacrificed physical strength for mystical power granted by a steadfast devotion to a dark god. Placed toe to toe with almost any other creature they would find themselves soundly beaten – to the endless shame of their mysterious deity. When a young worker asked a Cultist why he was so thin and frail he responded: “When I worship, I need no food, no water, no sleep… I want for nothing that is not provided by prayer.”

He then disemboweled the worker and offered him up as sacrifice with the quip: “My master asks for much more.”

Description

These red-robed fanatics are utterly dedicated to their Underlord (at times in a rather disturbing fashion...) and will happily slave away in the Archives to research new Sins for their master. The cultists also are responsible for channeling the dark magic required for a Ritual in the Sanctuary and will prioritize it over their work in the archive once the Underlord has initiated such a ritual.

In combat, the scrawny cultists will avoid melee if possible and assault the enemy at range. Though their basic attack is not particularly impressive, cultists can severely weaken enemies while at the same time healing other minions or themselves, making them very useful as support units.

Quotes

• No one knows what kind of hairstyle lies beneath the hood of a Cultist. Rumour says they are rocking a mullet.
