Sunok Priests

Like many of the aberrant races of Elanthia, the Sunok emerged after the Sundering. There is no record of their species previous to the breaking of the world, and Triumvirate research indicates that their genesis starts in the burned and scorched land that became the final resting place where Ashog of Brimstone, the dragon that destroyed Fuir-Hagen, crashed to earth.

One cannot speak of the brutal Sunok culture without touching on its religion, the two are so entwined. Their fanaticism and unswerving devotion drives them to new and greater heights of destruction, and dictates everything from diet to architecture. Sunok Priests are determined in the egg - literally, the shells of future acolytes are colored dark red. The so-called Mark of Blood is the sole determinant for future inductees into the priesthood. The belief of Triumvirate scholars is that these shells are an outward manifestation of an inherent magical aptitude in the unborn Sunok.
