Nozriel

Nozriel, more commonly known as dreadlords, are a race of large humanoid demons. The dreadlords are stark contrasts to those within the Black Order, preferring to manipulate and seduce mortals into betraying their worlds, instead of razing them. They do this with a powerful grasp of transmutation and enchantment magics, infiltrating mortal organizations and corrupting them from within.

All of this isn't to say that dreadlords run from physical fights; they are more than willing to wade into battle using a mixture of magic and serrated claw to quell their enemies.

History
The Nozriel were initially a race of peaceful explorers and beautiful architects. They sailed across their enormous world looking for adventure and far away places to explore. Pyrmonde changed that for the worse, turning their world into a living nightmare with acidic oceans and bloody forests. The Nozriel were twisted into their current visage, and cursed with a thirst for sentient flesh. They turned on one another, bathing their world in blood and death.

When the radyth came to their world they became impressed at the machiavellian politics and intrigues of the planet. The Nozriel jumped at the chance to explore the stars, and sample the other races of the universe. So together the radyth and the Nozriel set out as the Burning Host. The radyth taught the dreadlords their command of fire magics, and they set to work roasting and consuming as many Physical Worlds as they could.

Description
Dreadlords stand roughly between 11 and 13 feet tall, and possess a set of leathery flightless wings which act as a third pair of limbs. They typically have various shades of grey skin, humanoid faces, and thick imposing jaws. Their legs end in cloven hooves, and their five-fingered hands in two-inch thick claws.

Combat
Most dreadlords adorn themselves in some form of plate armor and prefer to use their claws in combat. They use a mixture of hand-to-hand combat and magical ability, supplementing their offensive strikes with magics to control, dominate, and lay waste to large numbers of opponents at once.

Biology
A dreadlord's blood is a bio-luminescent purple color, that when consumed horrifically transforms the imbiber. Their skin takes on a ashen gray color, gaining a leathery texture. Their faces become exaggerated and monstrous, their skulls often forming crests made of bone and cartilage. The imbiber also grants a set of new abilities: preternatural speed, enhanced strength, and magical abilities inherent to their new demonic conditions. Mortals who consume Nosriel blood are known as serfs.

Nosriel possess flightless wings which double as an additional set of limbs. The wings, much like that of a wyvern, act as an extra set of arms. These arms possess the same range of motion and ability as a regular pair would.

The legs of dreadlords end in cloven hooves. Some dreadlords take to casting their hooves in steel to be used as weapons in combat. Because dreadlords do not possess nerve endings in their feet, the process is relatively painless.
