Illagers

Illagers are a close relative of Villagers, with some speculating they may even be the same species. They look like villager, but with grey skin. While they do look like Villagers, they do not typically act like them. Most Illagers live in warlike raider societies based around occultism and wealth. These "Clans" as they are often called are usually borderline anarchist in nature, with few rules other than showing up for raids and obeying the "Ataman", "Yesaul", "Prikazny", "Fyuyer", "Caudillo", "Warlord", "Tyrant", "Don", "Hetman", "Vozhd" or "Commander", all common names for Illager leaders. There are many types of Illagers, but the most predominant types are pillagers, evokers, and vindicators.
== Culture ==
Due to how spread out Illagers are, there is no real overarching Illager culture. However, there are many similarities between the different Illager cultures that have sprung up. The most obvious is the semi-nomadic lifestyle led by the Illagers, where the Clan will reside in a mansion or outpost and leave to go on raids or build new outposts or mansions. Leaving outposts behind is a very common occurrence, and they are usually built to be temporary. Mansions, on the other hand, are meant to be permanent, and as such are much rarer.
While organization of Illager societies varies immensely, there is a general system that many use. There is almost always a single leader, usually some form of military or spiritual official, who leads the Clan. Then, below them, is their immediate family or a council of experienced occultists and military officers. Below that is pretty much everyone else, as Illager ranks are usually based off of fighting style rather than an actual chain of command. 
Occultism is widely practiced among Illager societies, with dark magic often taking the place of traditional religious rituals. Illagers do not have a particularly widespread religious system, rather each Clan often has their own cult and spiritual traditions. There are a few religions that are more common than others however, namely worship of Herobrine, Entropy, Chidduca la Carni, or Zecarra. There are also many that focus less on deities and more on occult practices and dark magic on their own.
