The world of Doaden is one shaped by ruin. In the long shadow of cataclysm, faith has curdled into fanaticism, ambition into obsession, and despair into madness. Across the shattered realms, dark powers whisper to the desperate, offering purpose at the cost of body and soul.

These Dread Warbands are among the most terrifying servants of these corrupting forces. Twisted by forbidden faiths, profane rituals, and monstrous experimentation, they wander the realm with a single purpose: to spread suffering, terror, and ruin.

Within their ranks are the Tormentor Cults, whose fanatical followers worship the mysterious One Imprisoned, and the Anatomists, deranged Fleshcrafters who reshape living flesh into grotesque engines of war. Together they are only a glimpse of the horrors that lurk beyond Azerai’s light.
