The History of the Sckavus is the title of an article at the official AC 2 site, telling you more about this creature from the game. Here's something from that:
The Sclavus are not a natural creature. They are the result of dark rituals and unnatural experimentation by a race of Empyreans known as the Falatacot who lived in Dereth millenniums ago. Just as there are many who work good or evil in Dereth now, the same was true of the Falatacot. There were those who practiced dark, some would say horrific, ritual sacrifices to honor the Old Ones. The history of the Old Ones and those that worshiped them is tale for another time, but those who have plumbed the secrets of the Drudge Citadel Vault know what became of some of the Falatacot. It was a group of these Falatacot, worshippers of the Old Ones, who created the Sclavus, twisting the forms of their own people and local serpents to create a servant race. As servants, they were to aid their masters in their rituals.
When their masters were forced to flee, their servants were left behind. While not very intelligent, the rituals that created the Sclavus had imprinted their master's commands deeply in their small minds. In the centuries that followed, the Sclavus continued in the duties their master's had given them, maintaining their temples and preparing them for the rituals their master's would never practice again. Fortunately for the Sclavus, their master's had disguised their temples well, so when later races of Empyreans came to Dereth, the temples, and the Sclavus that maintained them, remained undisturbed. The few unfortunates that did stumble into the temples were quickly overwhelmed and destroyed, and the temples remained a secret up until the coming of the Olthoi. |
