Speaker of the Damned

A Speaker of the Damned is an elevated member of the Flayed, a rarity among their species and the only ones of their kind that can unite the warring factions. They have the cunning and intelligence of great men, the full functionality of the living bestowed upon them by some higher power. What makes them truly feared, however, is their ability to control the Flayed entirely. A Speaker can guide and lead them, bringing the Flayed from their underground tunnels and barrows to march on the surface. This leads to a March of the Damned, a catastrophic event for the world that invokes major change and has brought several races to the brink of extinction.
