Background & Religion: Once known as the Elisk, this ancient dragon species was celebrated across universes as the pinnacle of genetic evolution. Their downfall came when they dared to challenge Silkalek, the God of Corruption. Upon their defeat, Silkalek personally ripped the wings from their bodies and renamed them the Elish as a mark of their failure, making them the very first species to be enslaved as an army for the Skorde. Born from eggs at a height of 4ft to 5ft, they grow to reach 9ft or more, though the corruption has stripped away their skin and draconic majesty, leaving them as bipedal beasts of raw muscle and dark energy. As the master race of Silkalek’s forces, they lead the charge in every conquest. One day, the fire of corruption will be the key to our liberation, and I will lead my people back to the skies. - Lord Bawlzas
Military Ranking System: Lord Bawlzas told his army, that the only way to achieve the General rank in the Elish race is to be in the top 10 souls 5 times in the “War Contribution” ranking list when a "World Conquest" ends. Every bloodline is a clan that works and stays together, they have a very complex system of hierarchy based upon how many ages a bloodline has been serving the Elish force, and how many times a clan has successfully driven an operation to victory.
Specialization and Weakness: Being the tallest and most intelligent creatures across multiple universes is a massive advantage for a race built solely to conquer. With no known physical weaknesses, the Elish are an unstoppable force when utilizing explosive items and corruption spells. They also maintain the deadliest list of heavy armored vehicles at their disposal, ensuring total dominance on any terrain they invade.
Armors & Weapons Type: Preparation is absolute for the Elish, as 85% of the population has permanent Platinock armor bolted directly onto their bodies shortly after birth. This ensures they are combat-ready even in dire supply situations. While they are masters of all two-handed weaponry, they have a lethal preference for skull-maces, heavy firearms, staves, and ancient magical books to channel their corruption.
