A dread horror that feeds on fear and anticipation of pain. It plays with its food and stalks the halls or streets of Namegiver settlements inspiring dread, night after night. Five Men manifests into five rotting Namegiver corpses with empty eyes that fall into another universe. Tall and gaunt wearing ragged cloaks and clothes that flutter around their unnatural forms, they move like corpses thick with rigor mortis, breaking with every step, and yet so, so swift. Five Men wields a long, curving wicked blade in each form. Sharp, poisonous and evil, they will often leave one for the last tortured soul survives their tranquil feed. Such a soul undoubtedly seeks power to protect them from the terrors of the night. The blade promises this, but taints its bearers perceptions over time until they see Five Men in everyone they meet... and respond appropriately.
