The Ravagers

A common emblem associated with the Ravagers.

**The Ravagers** are a decentralized collective of loosely-related bandits, usurpers, and pirates dedicated to the Vice of Anarchy. Leviathan is considered to be the most prominent and powerful member of this collective.

## Biography

The inception of the Ravagers occurred after the current General of Anarchy first took his name and began his forays onto the surface world. Throughout the years, those that followed the path of Anarchy began growing even more restless with the war against the Elysians, to the point where they began to turn on their own hierarchies and leaders that have ruled for thousands of years now. They were seeking a leader. And after the Sundering, they got one - in the form of the new General of Anarchy.

For the past 500 years, the Ravagers have established themselves as a spread-out, disorganized, but highly volatile force. They most often target Homini and Elysian establishments, but with the length of the war, and especially with the disappearance of Elodi and Ahriman, they’ve been going after Sheolfolk as well. The General of Anarchy, Leviathan, is seen not as a leader per se (though they do respect some amount of his authority) but as a model to follow.

## Being a Ravager

Devotion to the path of Anarchy is really the only prerequisite for joining the Ravagers. Beyond that, one only needs to call themselves a Ravager to be considered a member. The Ravagers are less of a group and more of an ideology, a mind set. In this sense, they are quite similar to the real-world group “Anonymous.”

## The Serpents

In lieu of commanders or leaders (which are regarded by the Ravagers as regressive), a number of “Serpents” have sprung up, each of them signifying a particular aspect of Anarchy. These individuals have come to infamy amongst the Ravagers thanks to their exploits and legends, and are often regarded as perfect examples of how to conduct oneself as one travels the path of Anarchy. Had the Sundering not happened, most of the Serpents would be considered Generals of Anarchy.

The six listed below are not definitive, and the title of a “Serpent” can be shared by multiple people (with the exception of the General) or are otherwise quickly passed on (whether by succession, or the death of the previous title-holder). Title names are generally not set; rather, they are decided by popular consensus.

### Leviathan the General

Leviathan is the current Sheolfolkian General of Anarchy, and after the Sundering he remains the only one to hold his title. For more information on Leviathan, see his official page.

### Lotan Yamm, the Ship-Eater

Lotan Yamm, another Sheolfolk, holds the record for most trade ships plundered amongst the Ravagers. Nobody is sure of the exact number, but estimates range in the thousands. He also terrorizes port cities, holding the population captive until he takes what he wants. And then some.

### Apalala Nagara, the Parasite

Apalala Nagara is the de-facto recruiter for the Ravagers. She typically uses her amicable Homini disposition to cull others, but isn’t afraid to captivate others using more physical means.

### Orochin Yamat, the Destroyer

Orochin Yamat specializes in blatant destruction. Her knowledge of explosives and incendiary weaponry makes this Sheolfolk as catalytic as she is intelligent.

### Kukul Kan, the Infiltrator

Kukul Kan has become infamous for causing instability in various cities and towns across the continent. He uses his status as a Homini to covertly corrupt and pervert those in power, with the intent of turning the public against any form of governance. He's the libertarian one.

### Avesta Zahak, the Firestarter

Avesta Zahak is currently the only Elysian Serpent, and arguably the most antagonistic one. They abandoned their original Elysian name, Avestiel, 700 years prior and since then, Avesta has been causing trouble all across the countryside. They typically like to instill discord between several factions in order to cause further instability.

## Other Ravagers

This is a non-comprehensive list of Ravagers. Current members are in bold, while those who were once part of the group but have since defected are in regular print.

* Shayel Chaikin - Left the group in 7221, though as of now he still follows the path of Anarchy.
