Scorch Spawn

The Scorch Fiend walked with purpose across the plains. What once was rolling green hills stretched out to either side of it, spotted with trees. But now a large burn scar slashed through the land like a smoking wound. The edges of the scar burned, embers still shining red and orange. A black cloud of smoke covered the sky.

The Scorch Fiend set its sights on the town ahead. It could hear the screams from this distance, and see figures running for cover. The warriors of the town grabbed their weapons, preparing to fight the fiery monstrosity headed towards their home.

But it would not be enough. Within the Realm of Chaos resides Uul, an eldritch dark god that has consumed countless realities.

It is this ancient entity of madness and despair that Silus of the Rift called upon to fulfill his plans of conquest. What Silus offered was of great interest to Uul: to feed upon The Source. To taste mana from the Well which had been forever beyond its enormous reach.

And so the elder god of a thousand screaming worlds gazed upon a single point of pure, primal energy, its power a familiar echo of the creation of All. When Silus opened the Gateway, Uul knew that its enormity could never pass through the revealed portal; however, that did not mean it could not make its presence known in the world beyond.

The Shade of Uul took shape within the Splinterlands and gave unto Silus a horrific gift. By twisting and corrupting the six primary elements of magic, a brood of Fiends was created, each a grotesque representation of a different form of magic. Fueled by the power of Uul, the Fiends are a nightmare to behold.

It is said to gaze upon a Fiend is to stare into the face of utter Hopelessness and know that the End has come.

Stories of the Scorch Fiend tell of the terrible devastation left in its wake. It burns anything that draws its ire, making it a formidable foe on the battlefield. When fighting alongside its mortal allies, it uses its elemental fire magic to hasten their attacks.

The Chaos Legion employs the Scorch Fiend to stoke a primal fear in the habitants of each new land they set out to conquer. Oftentimes, it is sent alone to take out a target, whether that be a single enemy or an entire village. As it trudges through the land, the Scorch Fiend leaves behind a burn scar that follows it like a great black slash across the earth.
