Background & Religion: The Screamiack were brought into existence through a dark ritual performed by Silkalek, who unleashed an ancient parasite upon a dying Human general. This highly contagious infection slowly overtakes the host, forcing multiple mutations until the body is entirely consumed by the parasite’s nature. This process allows the Screamiack parasites to turn any living creature into a mindless soldier for their cause, resulting in the largest standing army within the Skorde due to their ability to infect and corrupt the Human soul. These creatures operate on pure instinct and terror, existing only to serve the corruption as the most frightening species in the entire faction.
Military Ranking System: Loyalty is biologically hardwired into the Screamiack, as they were engineered with the sole purpose of eradicating the Human race. Because their devotion is absolute, advancement within the Skorde hierarchy is based strictly on merit. Individuals climb the ranks by gaining mastery over specific classes and jobs or by providing significant contributions to the ongoing war effort. This ensures that the most experienced and effective Screamiack leads the swarm.
Specialization and Weakness: As a force that requires no sleep or rest, the Screamiack are the Skorde's primary choice for long-term resource gathering and base defense. They possess the most advanced naval fleet in the horde, having conquered thousands of territories via water. Their mastery of silent nighttime operations and massive naval invasions earned them the nickname Creeper Screamers.
Armors & Weapons Type: Under the command of the warlord Kalomi, the Screamiack have maintained a twisted version of the Human tech tree, upgrading it to serve the gods of corruption. They wear stylish Leatheran armor designed to represent their faction while retaining a haunting echo of their Human origin. They are specialists in close-quarters and mid-range lethality, favoring one-handed weapons such as corruption swords, pistols, and SMGs. Additionally, they are masters of high-impact weaponry, including ARs, shotguns, and explosive like grenades and rocket launchers.
