Dear Denizens of Issilith!
Issilith is home to many creatures, so it’s needless to say that some are good, and some are bad. And you can’t talk about bad creatures if you don’t speak of fiends. Part of them will bother you only if you cross your path with them, while others will have no problem hunting you down. While their motifs can differ, the result will usually be the same for their prey - bad.
Pholgists, a subrace of Pholgons, are lesser demons that enjoy possessing near-death creatures and giving them new life. While that may not seem so bad itself, the reason why they do it is the disturbing part.
Pholgists are both malicious and patient, a truly deadly combination. Once they’ve set their eyes on the next settlement to raid, they will hide near it for weeks, performing their dark rituals. If left unchecked, they can even invoke a meteor from the sky and obliterate the settlement, creating the perfect playing ground. You can find them revelling in such destruction, dancing on the charred ground, and blowing each other up in the most explosive ways. And all of that just for kicks and giggles.
These situations occur so frequently that almost every settlement now has a special scouting party that searches for these vile creatures, hoping to stop them before it’s too late.
Pholgist Dervish is one of those vile creatures. This 4-cost neutral unit has 2/5 stats and swift, meaning it can attack after it moves. To make things even worse, every time Pholgist Dervish changes zone, it will deal 2 damage to the enemy Core, regardless of the blockers! This creature truly has only mischief and destruction on its mind.
