Dumuzid and the Vermillion Host of Babalon
From the burning ruins of Hysh marches the host of Babalon — not a mere Hedonite warband, but the remnants of a forgotten divine empire.
Led by Dumuzid the Shepherd, Patriarch of the Order, King of Kings and Lord of All Hysh, the army wages war not for conquest alone, but for the dominion of all Life. At his side march Khael Vorn, ascendant warlord of the crimson path, and Lysira, Sixth of the Order, keeper of the hidden rites and voice of the sacred mysteries.
Across the host runs the mark of the Scarlet Lineage: crimson hair worn as a sacred sign of devotion, fertility, rebirth, and surrender to the divine excess of Babalon. To bear it is to wield the lineage of the Patriarch. Beneath shifting ash-dunes and corrupted ley lines, mortals are swallowed whole as the Lord of Fertility and the court of Babalon advance.
