Souleater Legion

Souleater Legion is one of the Demon Legion.

## History

This Legion was next in line during the invasion. What they lacked in brawn department, that was compensated by the brains. Both leaders Kersidar and Ebira led this Legion to battle, after the loss of both Ornasion and Lisara.

They took over total control of the Demon invasion after the destruction of the Blooddrinker Legion.

## Story

### First Human Book

They were initially seen at the outskirts of Rendol Forest, 2 squads of Demons on the path towards Blen Greymoore's new outpost. Harmos and his retinue eliminated them.

Then, they have contingents inside Derryn Outpost tunnels. Aedale Redfist and Harmos eliminated them.

### First Undead Book

They were mentioned at the aftermath of the battle between Aridon the Watcher and Ornasion. They took over the invasion, throwing the unprepared rivals by surprise.

### Second Human Book

They were initially seen as scattered scouting squads alongside the Lor-Kerrel border. Gardon Bloodclaw and Admiral Merlon Seabright was tasked to relieve Lerrig Goldheart from a Royal Army outpost.

Then, it was revealed that they have built multiple Demon Gates, under the supervision of a Darkblade Legion Pitlord. Gardon and Merlon took the Royals to battle against them, destroying the Souleaters, Darkblades and what remained of the Blooddrinkers.

They appeared at the Order of the Flame main monastery, appeared to be besieging the monastery, but it is revealed that traitors opened the gates, killed the hierarchy, and they took over the inside, except a handful of resistance. Harmos and Vail cleared the monastery, killed the traitors, be it Taran Rellanir or Grennan the Fire summoner.

They then reappeared, giving what Genethas needed, but besides a handful of Demon Gates, and a couple of Demonlords on the forest near the fortress, they gave the thrall nothing.

They later on regrouped. Had you chose Renald Van Durce's path, the Souleaters took over the wreckage and ruines of Ironfist base, while both Tribal Dominion and the Bonelords assembled their forces. Renald, Sir Praxeus Braelon, Lord Marin, High King Zarin Hammerfall and their allies held the line and used the Purificator to exterminate all enemies, along with the Demon Gates.

Had you chose Gardon Bloodclaw, they reappear, taking over the old Ironfist base, the Bonelords taking over the Undead Splecir Nexus base and the Tribal Dominion took over the old Royal Army and Elven Army camp. The Ironfist and their allies held the line, while the Purificator eliminated all enemies.

After the victory, Gardon was approached by Ebira, disguised as Claire, offering that she will betray Kersidar by halving the strength and her faction will leave the Gate of Hell. It is up to Gardon to accept or decline.

At The Gate of Hell, the Souleaters were assisted by contingents of Darkblade Legion and Dreamhunter Legion. Depending on the decision Gardon made, If former, the Demon Gates and strength will be reduced. If latter, retains full strength. The Demons were defeated, the Gate of Hell forces crushed and the remnants, fell back to Carnazoth, the next stronghold they have. Only the betrayal of the Undead spared them.

### Second Orc Book

They were initially seen sending waves against both Imperial Regiments members Bull Regiment and Phoenix Regiment, and the remaining Royal Army at the outskirts of the Pearl. the Daric's Mercenaries were initially tasked to mop up all surviving Orcs inside the area, but were forced to assist the outposts under siege. The Orcs led by Grofzag and Zairmak successfully evacuated the Orcs, while the Demons overrun the base and the Imperials had to struggle in vain against the onslaught of Demons.

They were again seen on the Pearl, while Zairmak and Grofzag dodged the Imperial hunters. They are scattered on squads, fighting off the Undead, corrupted beasts and trying to undo some sealed escape routes. The duo killed them all. A Pitlord and his squad blocked the exit, which the duo then killed.

At the Golden Guard fortress after the liberation of the Purificator by Amari and her team, with allied Ironfist or Kasrkin assistance, the Souleaters established many Demon Gates. The Dominion tried their best to eliminate them in the area, without relying on the Purificator, despite Pechan the Mechanic's protests. They eliminated the Demons in the area.

### Second Undead Book

They were besieging the Dead Mountain alongside the Darkblades under Urshan, the latter group coerced by the Souleater emissary sent by Isilion. They battled not only the Splecir Nexus guards under both Rahandir Drakeskull￼ and Saphira Whisperwind, but also the reemerged Ornasion and his own Undead Demon forces, along with reinforcements from the Dead Mountain. Ornasion repelled the siege, destroyed several Demon bases and their Slave camps, killed and reanimated Urshan, which blew the Souleaters' plans, which the Watcher commands his troops to gather materials for his sealing spell.

Then, Krom the Immortal and Lady Meya appeared and tasked to eliminate what seems to be Demon diversionary attack against the mortals in the mountains of Salria, Isilion purged whoever Ebira loyalists in the ranks. The duo did it without blowing their presence on the mortals. The Souleaters not only contend against the combined Golden Guard/Bloodstone attacks, but also the Undead. They failed, and Isilion killed.

## Aftermath

### Humans

In Gardon's route, the Souleaters strength was crippled and lost all their hollding on Arkain, driving them to the Demon lands. Only the Undead betrayal saved them. The remnants tries to rebuilt their losses, but now had to contend against rivals. Inter-Demonic clashes happened.

In Renald's route, the Souleaters were held in the Golden Guard fortress, with the Purificator on guard against any attempts. But still, the Souleaters and the Demon Legion controls both Isalmur and Lor, and nothing more happens.

### Orcs

On the Orc path, they were crushed by the Dominion, then the latter left before any Humans arrive. Their control was slowly slipping away from them by the Humans.

### Undead

On the Undead path, they failed the siege of the Dead Mountain and the diversionary attack on Salria. They also lost both Isilion and Hesrathion on Undead attacks, former was killed by Krom, the latter by Ornasion under vengeance.
