About

Sepids are the brutal warlords of the divs, delighting in violence against mortals and their own particular flavor of vengeance. Inveterate liars, sepids can’t help but spout the most outrageous lies, and their form and nature represent the power of falsehoods to snowball into violence that can cost countless lives. Among mortals, they rally troops to incite rebellion, war, and other forms of carnage, savoring mortals who slaughter each other. These giant beings usually stand around 13 feet tall; they wade through battlefields seeking out heroes and generals, rejoicing maniacally as they cut their foes down.

While most divine wardens lack the ability to speak, a deity might imbue a divine warden with the capability by quoting scripture. The guardian can therefore communicate the deity’s will to their faithful, though typically in a cryptic fashion. Divine wardens might also have the ability to lead in song or prayer.
