The Malisik was the name given to those Spirits in the [[Pre-Mortal Existence (Lethurèa)|Pre-Mortal Existence]] that sided with [[Malis]] and warred with the other spirit tribes in the [[True First War (Lethurèa)|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. | The Malisik was the name given to those Spirits in the [[Pre-Mortal Existence (Lethurèa)|Pre-Mortal Existence]] that sided with [[Malis]] and warred with the other spirit tribes in the [[True First War (Lethurèa)|True First War]].

When the fallen [[Sherok Warlord]] [[Malismorâ|Morai]] 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 [[Malisik Inquisition]] perfected this process, giving rise to entire castes of creatures and beings.
