Sarka, Lord of Flesh and Bone

Through the body of the Black Boar run infinite domains. There stretches of stunted forests of strangely luminescent mushrooms fed by light that glimmers between his vertebrae, stalked by predators uncannily swift. Oceans of bile and blood swim with fish and fiends born to that strange life. There are great open cavities that ring with the shrieks of uncounted circling prey and birds of prey. In those self-contained ecosystems, there is an understanding that Sarka is the predator to which all others will bow and bare their throats.

Sarka takes forms that vary depending on the situation, but he is always the apex hunter. He searches the buried forests often as a reptilian stalker of great speed and clawed might; he swims the veins of Isidoris in the form of a shark or eel sleeker than water itself; and he takes to the skies in a mantle of claws. He cannot fail to track, and he cannot fail to catch; but he is the hunter that hunts not for food but for pleasure. He will not kill with his claws when he can make a victim dash themselves on rocks out of fear, and he will not feed except to prove his dominion over what he consumes.

He has been summoned by cruel sorcerors who wish for absolute certainty in the death of their enemies; and yet, he is unreliable as he has been known to toy too long with his victims, for while a sorceror may choose his victims, it is unacceptable to him to be ordered to make death swift.
