Drudges

Overview

The Drudges are an enemy group that appear in Night Ward. They, like many myths regarding reapers and ferrymen, are tasked with shepherding the dead. They deal in wax currencies, which, to some extent has influenced their appearances.

Spirit Guide

Spirit Guide

This creature's grisly appearance is not unlike a hundred different descriptions of the grim reaper or the ferryman. Indeed, a spirit guide's existence is devoted to the ushering of souls from one world to the next. They do so with mechanical efficiency and enthusiasm, as their reward for a job well done is a payment in wax, which keeps their spirit candle burning, if only long enough to find another soul in need of guidance to the next world.

Lamplighters are tasked with keeping Night Ward's lamps lit and push back the dark forces that hunger for the souls of the dead. However, their spiritual flame is more than just for lighting lamps, it can also ignite one's soul.

Watcher

Watcher

The Watchers oversee squads of Patrolmen and are assigned by Drudge Taskmasters to act as cudgels when something needs to be done quickly and efficiently. They are feared not only because of their lash, but because they can call upon the very shadows of Night Ward to hunt down those who obstruct the directives of the Taskmaster's Office.

Taskmaster

Taskmaster

Taskmasters are the bureaucratic masterminds of the Drudges. They have, for time immemorial, been in charge of the flow of souls from each world to the next, and they have made a great deal of profit off of their services. The Taskmasters deal in wax, which is used to keep the candles of the Drudges burning - but in order to meet the demands of their Taskmasters the Drudges must burn their candles at both ends, creating an eternal cycle of dependence.
