Osprix



Osprix are one of the Races in the World of Eterra.

Description
Followers of Rahyeh, the Osprix share in his aspect and the glory of the sun. They are of an arrogant and disciplined nature, serving in Rahyeh’s grand army with armor crafted in the mighty forges under the mountains.

The Osprix harness the power of fire and craftsmanship. Using their capabilities to their fullest, they can swarm from the city of Solarum in the thousands, laying siege on entire settlements and exploiting their surroundings. Osprix can even conjure living fire that are given a metallic body to live autonomously, such as cages and containers.

Most of the Osprix also religiously worship Rahyeh. Many humans are also enlisted in their ranks, serving as paladins or auxiliary forces. Their warriors in highest rank are however deeply knowledgeable in the magics of light, becoming lightmages, or even pontifices.

Divine era
In the Divine era, the Osprix god Rahyeh declares war on the other deities of Eterra, hungering for their power and control. Mobilizing his grand army and cult, he unleashes a massive invasion on northern Eterra, ransacking and setting settlements on fire around Heoborea.

After his regular forces fail, Rahyeh himself descends on the patron of the lands, Heorot, fatally wounding him and eventually leaving the neighborhood without protection. Heorot has however enough vitality left to give his blessing on his sacred lance to the Traveler, who appears in Solarum and works his way to Heoborea.

In the meantime, Rahyeh spreads his forces to the south, in an attempt to march towards Thetima and the temple of Lagon, led by Pontifex Aurelus. The invasion is however severely hampered, as the Traveler manages to reclaim the burning pier of Dark Harbour and get to Thetima. From Thetima, Grael starts mustering an army after Lagon gives his blessing on the Lance too.

Imperial era
In the Imperial era, the Osprix are a shadow of their former glory. At one time, the Immortal Emperor founds his empire throughout Eterra, reducing the living's influence to rubble and building his immortal legions. By 1005 AG, the Osprix lose their homeland to the undead and are forced to lurk in the eastern mountains, whereas the Emperor creates the Immortal Citadel in Solarum, an operations and government center. The Osprix fortunate enough to survive the purge are destined to live in the treacherous sewer areas, away from the undead threat, dealing with pollution and decay.
