The Fallen

After the birth of The Horned King, six powerful and wayward souls found themselves in Druskenvald from the material world. Each being was once heroic in their own way, but were all deeply flawed. The sin that dwelled in their hearts was plied by the Horned King until they brough about their own downfall one by one. The increasing evil within the Fallen have added to the Horned King's power as he seeks to spread sin from his prison within the Wytchwood.

Each must now die so that the Horned King can consume their essence and lead to its incarnation. None of the Fallen actively serve the forces of the Crooked Queen. They seek to achieve their own aims. They have no alliances with each other or even the lord of sin. They intimidate and slaughter the people of Wickermoor Hollow on their own volition.
