Wanton

The Wanton are a villainous faction serving the Dragon of Fire, Maelforge. They revel in senseless violence and brutality, and seek only to cause conflict.

Description:
"The least organized but most fanatically loyal dragon cult, the Wanton ranks boast many monstrous humanoids such as goblins or dragonians. In Telaran communities, cells of Wanton can rise up suddenly, burning and despoiling in huge swathes before dying out. Many cultists seek to emulate the brutal centaurs: doing violence without honor, seeking a meaningless death, a body-count their only contribution to the world.""Ritual sacrifice is common among the Wanton. The dismembered limbs and spilled gore of their victims fueling the cultists’ hideous magic. As the Flame Sire decrees, death sows the seeds of new destruction.undefined"

Excerpts:
A tale of the fall of Maelforge:"As the Age of Dragons (the Blood Storm, that is) wound to a close, Telara’s heroes overcame the flames of Maelforge. They bound the red dragon of ruin deep under Mount Carcera, at the heart of Ember Isle. Held fast by the calming power of Earth, he slipped into a long, sullen sleep.""Then the rifts opened, and the Wanton surged forth across Telara, while the Kelari escaped en masse to Mathosia. The great volcano bubbled over as Maelforge thrilled to the reborn cycle of destruction. He sent his thoughts of passion and violence out into the earth, and Laethys responded. Her Golden Maw minions softened the stone around his prison, and smuggled her to Ember Isle in the form of coins and riches. With the aid of corrupted spirits like Caduceus, Laethys joined Maelforge under Carcera, both poised to reduce Telara to glittering ash…""However the Ascended brave the volcano’s core, face the dragons’ fiercest lieutenants, and bring down not one, but two mighty gods of the Blood Storm: Laethys, her body an unstable but breathtaking sculpture of glittering wealth; and Maelforge, the mightiest, most fearsome Dragon after Regulos.undefined"
