Powerful and feared, the Nubin of Livanin Desert are ancient beings created by the gods to protect their ancient underground archives that house untold knowledge of the cosmos. Though they are extremely hostile towards anyone who may stumble across or try to raid one of these archives buried under the sands of Livanin, the Nubin rarely leave these dungeons as they require no sustenance other than spirit energy which they must consume to stay active. Due to their importance and role, the Nubin are ageless and almost robotic in nature though there have been cases where they have shown to have emotions and even other desires. Sadly, over the ages many Nubin have fallen prey to determined raiders slaying them in the name of treasure hunting and the process of creating new Nubin is long and hard, requiring the sacrifices from multiple Nubin essence cores to spawn an entirely new Nubin, which may be dangerous as it leaves the others in a weakened state for a period of time.

Some Nubin have forsaken their role as guardians of the archives in favour of wandering the land and wreaking havoc among the living, attacking settlements to drain the souls of their victims to further empower themselves in the process. These godless Nubin are the ones travelers journeying through the desert fear the most as they are not limited by their creator's orders. Thankfully, these Nubin are also bound to fall faster than the ones protected inside their dungeons.

Powers

Nubin possess incredible physical strength both unarmed and while wielding long halberds, staves, swords or axes. They are able to wield their weapons to deadly extremes, enough to break the very ground beneath them with their strikes. Alongside that, they possess high levels of magic, specific that of Necromancy which they use to raise the dead, drain the life of their enemies or inflict rapid rotting. It is said that it takes twenty fully-geared adventurers with years of battle experience on their belt to be able to down a single Nubin in fair combat.

Nubin do have a weakness where if they abandon their post in the archives and their task as protectors, they would soon also lose their bond with the gods and begin to wither away unless they are able to sustain themselves on an ever increasing amount of souls.

Physical Appearence

Nubin are giant jackal Humanoids that are covered in thick, dark fur, long fanged snouts and even longer thin ears. They have menacingly glowing eyes and wear egyptian-inspired armour that protect them with magical resistance and they wield metallic weapons imbued with great power. Both male and female Nubin exist though they are unable to mate in a traditional way.
