Scarec Nexus

Scarec Nexus is a faction inside Undead Nexus.

## Description

The Scarec Nexus follows one doctrine: Reduce all creatures to nothing but bones in the end, to fulfill their Master's will, ironically the Watcher forbid them from doing it.

Their procedure of acquiring new forces are by killing their targets, butcher them and separating the bones from other body parts, then reanimating it.

'*"The flesh is weak. To serve the Watcher of Arkain means to let go of not only the desires
and weaknesses of the mortal mind but to also let go of the filthy flesh. Only bones are pure
and can bring both the living and dead understanding on how to best serve in the afterlife."'*

*'The Scarec Nexus was the first nexus to develop its very own, very specific mindset**.**It is this mindset that they have remained loyal to up to this day, their religious doctrine
and their solemn belief. For them, flesh in itself is an undesirable plague and must be
disposed of. The mortals whose lives depend on the condition of their flesh are considered
aberrations of whom the entire world must be purged eventually. Undead who refuse to
have their flesh removed and rely on the purity of bone are unable to see the truth behind
these words.
While they are not considered enemies of the zealous believers, they still have the hint of
impurity on them in the eyes of the Scarec Nexus whose members are nothing but bones.
The Skeleton Legion of the Scarec Nexus have no doubt that the day will come when their
time has finally come, the day when they will start their own unholy crusade to rid the
entirety of Arkain of all that is flesh until nothing but bones remains. After all, have the living
themselves not proven their own unworthiness by their actions?
Wars, intrigues, desolations, greed, backstabbing, corruption... Those are all just examples
of their impurity. The Scarec Nexus has no doubt that the world can only be in a perfect
state when the fire of life has been forever extinguished.
If it wasn't for the fact that they knew the master of all undead, Aridon the Watcher,
would not approve of their crusade, the Scarec Nexus would have left hiding to begin its
purge as soon as they had developed their mindset. They wait patiently for the day when
he calls upon them to do what they do best: Liberate the world of living impurity.
In their famed Cathedrals of Bones, they pray for the day to come up to this day.
Unsurprisingly, the Scarec Necus' ideology is at odds with the Ejara Nexus who want to
enslave the living rather than kill them all, the Rohir Nexus who cling to mortal bodies and
use infiltration over zealous force of arms and the new Lenira Nexus simply for it having
living members.
They have shared interests with the Ardoz Nexus due to the latter having quite effective
if painful methods to completely remove the flesh of their victims while also using many
mechanical creations that consist of no flesh. The members of the Scarec Nexus also highly
respect the neutral Splecir Nexus for consisting of the powerful - and, not unimportantly,
fleshless - ethereal servants of the Watcher as well as being above adopting ideologies that
would lead to prolonging the lives of the living.'*

## Unit Description

They were described as all bone warriors. Their doctrine of abhorrence upon all kinds of flesh made them all bones enforced at all times. Their twisted doctrine was sometimes at odds with other Nexuses who thinks otherwise. Their warriors were tough alongside their unnatural agility, using their lightweight structure to do hit and run tactics. The Nexus was seen on their ossuaries and their horrifying Cathedrals of Bones, praying for the day their Master answers their fervent prayers and give them command.

Their forces consists of various all-bone warriors, alongside their brutally effective Skeletapaults and their flying giant skeletal birds were used as their aerial unit.

They were led by the twin Undead hunters Arnos and Dornos. There was a subfaction inside the nexus, the Skeleton Legion, under the leadership of the Bonelords, the trio of the most fanatical followers of the Master.
