Line 44:

The Malisik was the name given to those Spirits in the [[Pre-Mortal Existence (Lethurîa)|Pre-Mortal Existence]] that sided with [[Malis]] and warred with the other spirit tribes in the [[True First War (Lethurîa)|True First War]]. They first truly emerged following the imprisonment of [[Malis]] in the black prison-plane of [[Gozog'nok]]. His spiritual essence seeped from its lower strata, corrupting any spirits within [[Gozog'nok]]. These twisted spirits became the first Malisik.

When the fallen [[Sherok Warlord]] [[~~Malismorâ~~|Morâ]] and his other [[Sherok Warlord|Sherok Warlords]] entered [[Gozog'nok|Gozog'nok]] and were transformed by [[Malis]], he was assigned by [[Malis]] to create an army greater than even the [[Sebuuk]]. [[The Malismorâ]] assisted in conceiving flesh for the corrupted spirits of the Malisik, forming a blasphemous cycle of resurrection. The [[Malisik Inquisition]] perfected this process, giving rise to entire castes of creatures and beings. Evenly they resurrected Sebuuk in mockery of [[Universal Law (Lethurîa)|Universal Law]].

== Biology and Reproduction ==

Malisik do not reproduce sexually. Upon death, their corpses release [[Malisik Spores]] which infect the surrounding area. These spores grow into egg-like pods and eventually hatch into [[Malisik Larvae]].

Line 72:

After the fall of [[The Malismorâ]] some believed:

* The Chosen Heroine is a liberator—her light awakens something ancestral and maternal within them, linked to [[Meera ~~Jenlek~~]].

* The Chosen Heroine is a liberator—her light awakens something ancestral and maternal within them, linked to [[Meera]].

* Some Malisik kneel before her, whispering, “Bright One.”

Line 91:

They cannot breach [[It'slâmwâ]], as its light burns their corrupted essence, but they have developed methods to black out stars deep within their territory.

== Legacy and Prophecy ==

Malisik are a spiritual blight—a wound in the [[Universal Order]]. Their continued existence is a direct challenge to [[Merrik ~~Jenlek~~]] and [[Meera ~~Jenlek~~]].

Malisik are a spiritual blight—a wound in the [[Universal Order]]. Their continued existence is a direct challenge to [[Merrik]] and [[Meera]].

The extinction of their physical forms is prophesied, but so is their liberation. Some believe the Chosen Heroine will redeem them. Others think they will be cast back into [[Gozog'nok]] screaming in the dark.
