"Brother! We need to leave! Remember the creature I told you about? The one that sulks and hides from everyone... Yes the one you don't believe exist. Well, right now it is ravaging the neighbour's farm, just behind the hill! Henhouses and broken wood pieces flying everywhere, I saw it. We need to get out of here while we can!

Wreathed in hellish vilefire, clad in armour and wielding unearthly arms, the Reth Dekala are infernal warriors from beyond. Once mortal but no longer, they act as mercenaries to those willing to pay the high prices they charge, striking with ruthless brutality - but also acting with honour.

Detrich O'Danos was convicted for dozens of murders, and was sentenced to serve the rest of his days in the various copper mines in the Cinder Expanse. One day, his pick broke through the stone and into the lower reaches of a Spell Weaver ruin, and one remarkably free of Relic Drones. He lucked upon a still-functional artifact of the Spell Weavers, and used the weapon to escape. He soon formed the Dead Eye Bandits from other escaped prisoners, and has been plaguing the Cinder Expanse ever since. Instinct: Take what belongs to me. (Everything.)

• Fight dirty.
• Call for backup.

The Relic Lord was the first of its kind, created by a now-vanished race to act as a weapon of war. Foolishly, its creators made the Relic Lord self-aware. The creature ultimately concluded that intelligent life is the source of all conflict, and it destroyed its creators. It has lain dormant in the Cinder Expanse ever since, watching over the silent, empty peace of the Expanse. Instinct: To preserve the peace of the Cinder Expanse.

• Rake the area with Shredder Beams.
• Stun a target with a surge of Psychic energy.
• Summon lesser Relics.

More rare than Relic Drones, Relic Warriors are activated by the Drones when they face foes that the cannot defeat by themselves. Relic Warriors then assault enemy life forms from the air, and attempt to bring down fortifications to allow the Drone host in. Instinct: Destroy sentient life.

• Chop down fortifications.
• Activate other Relic Warriors nearby.

Relic Drones can be found throughout the Cinder Expanse, usually within the mysterious ruins that dot that foreboding landscape, but occasionally simply buried under sand or laying inert among the rocks. When a Relic Drone detects sentient life, it awakens and proceeds to hunt down every intelligent life form it can find. Relic Drones are capable of converting almost any organic matter into more of their own, although they only seem to do this to replace lost numbers, or to overwhelm a large enemy force. Instinct: Destroy sentient life.

• Finely mince a helpless foe.
• Mold organic materials into a new Relic Drone.
