The Forsaken
* Updated with a Russian translation, thanks to Изверг.
* We now have a PBD patch: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1377936137 Thanks to Vortigon!
Description:
Every cause needs a champion. A hero to rally the common men. The Forsaken was that champion. Once a proud warrior of the light, this holy crusader has been afflicted. Forced to spend the rest of eternity within a rotting corpse, it roams the land it once protected, seeking to end this miserable existence. What is left of its body restricts this shambling horror from quick movements, but provides great resilience to slicing blades.
The magic that keeps this miserable being intact also empowers it, giving the Forsaken the ability to corrupt the blood and rend the soul. The once holy blade, now desecrated. With this new found power the Forsaken will find the evil that has ended its previous existence. Then, perhaps, this fallen warrior can finally rest.
This mod features a simple town even, 5 color versions, a bunch of trinkets and a full set of artwork.
