Familiar Surgeons are a class of monster alien to Aranna, and ancient enemies of the Elves.
Many years ago, Lorethal and his Crimson Hunters banished the entire race of Familiars from Aranna. Their leaders, the cunning and cruel ‘Surgeons’ Despular and Baelusar, never forgave the Elves. When the Overmage offered them a chance for revenge, they laid siege to Aman’lu in the cruelest way possible.
Familiar Surgeons are cruel artisans, tearing apart the lesser creatures of the world and reassembling them as powerful, bloodthirsty slaves. They enjoy the pain their experiments inflict on their subjects, and they relish the misery the Elves feel when their own brothers and sisters turn against them. If the Surgeons are not stopped, their horrific armies will overwhelm all of Aranna.
