(also called the “Rawhides” by their enemies)

Their war leaders wear patchwork armor grafted into their own bodies. They daub themselves with ash and blood to make their raw skin even more grotesque. Pain is proof of strength, and the screams of their foes are sacred hymns.

Currently, the Flesh-Torn have been driven to madness by a surviving Hell Hound. They chant louder and louder, until their throats bleed, to drown out their fear of it.

**“Pink flesh!
Raw flesh!
Tear it, rip it, eat the rest!

Blood red!
Skin shed!
Sing the song until we’re dead!”**

(Repeat, faster and louder until frenzy sets in.)

The Flesh-Torn Raiders are fanatics who see agony as holy. Their scarred pink flesh shines raw in firelight, a mark of both pride and terror.
The War Leaders are towering brutes who have fused armor into their flesh and bellow war hymns to drive their tribes into suicidal fury.
