Infested Questors | Church of the Acarid

LORE & BACKGROUND

These two were once Questing Knights who rode into the mire seeking the evil whispered to dwell there. Drawn by righteous purpose and wandering oaths, they pressed deeper into the swamp than most dared, until the Acarid struck and hollowed them out.

Yet something endured. Unlike other infested hosts, the Questors retained the echo of their quest. That lingering vow proved stronger than the Broodmare’s call, driving them far beyond the Church’s immediate influence. Their bodies transformed into skittering amalgams of fused armor and chitin, moving on parasitic limbs grown where horses once carried them.

They roam the mire ceaselessly, helms tilted toward distant, unknowable destinations, as if still following a path only they can sense. Their ancestral weapons remain in use, wielded with brutal familiarity, not through discipline, but through instinctive memory etched into flesh.

They are tragic figures, knights who sought to end a darkness and instead became its wandering heralds, forever pursuing a quest stripped of meaning but never of motion.
