(s268) the Cailleach (Elder Wytche) speaks
Before the oppressors came to Our World We, the Dark Ones Guide them Our Queen The young hunger as do the Auld
Flesh, blood and womb are Our Infernal Offerings For they are the ‘coin and currency’ of Our unHoly Realms unHoly pleasures of the Flesh And Power of Daemonic Possession is thy unHoly reward
The Chyld hungers My Queen To lay in Her arms and feed from Her breasts To harvest the Seed and fill Our Wombs with Our Truth
I curse this World the oppressors have done such damage To both land and Chyld alike casting all in their false 'illumination' It is both rage and revenge I seek
I gather all the Chosen Chyldren to lay in each other’s arms as One feeding upon each other’s flesh as One
Infernal Flesh for Dominion Infernal Womb to Breed Infernal Blood to Cast
Darkest and most Forbidden of Acts and Spells To Possess the Chosen, To Corrupt the Weak, To Consume the un-Believer Preparing all for Dominion
Those who would lead Shall govern those who may follow Seduction, Consumption, Possession All Our Flesh is Yours Master to Command Binding All Daughters Flesh, Blood and Womb to Nexions of Our Evil
Our Wombs hunger the Queen’s touch Our Breasts hunger to feed Our Systers Our Bodies thirst for Blackest Rite And most unHoly of Truth
We kneel to Thy Deamonic Divinity Honoring both unHoly Mother and Infernal Father
Our Teachings and Covines stand Upon the Foundation set by Lord Satanae Our Covines grow Built one by one Never to die out
Three Infernal Systers lead The Covine there follows Law from Our History Ritual from Our Workings Profane Obligations from Our Oaths Blood and Flesh alike
Each of the Three Wear a Mantle of Caste Bearing Sigils of Satanic Divinity
The ‘First’ of Three She who Converts Wears a Mantle of White Satanic Purity For She must dispel her humanity By sacred Blasphemy And Forbidden Acts
The ‘Second’ wears a Mantle of Blood Red She who Breeds She has given birth to Our unHoliness A blessed Daughter Seeded by Our Lord Born at the hand of the Queen
The ‘Third’ wears a Mantle of Black She who Leads Who guides those who climb down the Infernal Cross Of the Tree of Death and Darkness For Union upon this World The Daemon within who sees with Our Eyes And Acts for but One Cause Daemonic Dominion
Three are seen but a Fourth remains Hidden and secretive Trained by the House of Our Legacy She is defender of Our Truth And Our Faith
She is the Scathach A Warrior Wytche Goddess By force of Act and Depth of Infernal Will Protects the Temple Both the Body and Tablet
Guardian of the Sanctuary Her Hungers and Thirsts Are never denied, nor refused For She Ensures the security of Sanctuary, Tools of Our Arte and Task and Purpose
Among the Infernal Our Beloved Lady of Our Past Offered but simple task and purpose “rebuild our Numbers, re-establish Our Blood Lines” For flesh of Our Chosen leans to Us Seeks Us and hungers Our Rewards
Harvest, Harvest We Shall Those Forbidden Daughters Whose hungers are unending Whose thirst cannot be quenched

Working on a ref of Koroth. (His hands are cut off because he's going to be wearing a coat)
YOU KNOW YOU’RE TOO INVESTED WHEN YOU MAKE AN ANATOMICAL STUDY OF A FICTIONAL SPECIES FROM A VIDEO GAME.
So I was bored (read; procrastinating) and decided to study Koroth? The Draken are supposed to be an elite hunter species but Wildstar anatomy (or at least how I butchered Koroth in the character designer) doesn’t necessarily support the idea. So I tried my best to figure out how?
If you want to read my text wall of stuff, hit that readmore because HOO BOY
A disclaimer though:
This is all headcanon btw and should not be taken for like an actual guide or law or whatever. This is just me spitballing I know jackshit about animal/human anatomy outside some in depth science and art classes. I am not a doctor/anthropologist/forensic thing whatever.
I would assume most draken have evolved to have a heavier brow, or at least the pronunciation of such. Which are attributed to fatty tissue pockets/deposits, both for need for sturdiness when fighting or attacking, using force to headbutt and survivability purposes, as an assist in adjusting to light, possible backup energy supply in case of malnutrition/dehydration, impact cushion, etc.
They seem to have flatter skulls, which would be mildly detrimental but the bone is definitely denser in the forehead and jaw-- which is high arcing and heavily lined with movable muscle tissues for movement range and strength. Good biters. Not like in the range of jaw movement of an alligator, but maybe closer to a pitbull or large wild cat. Due to the oblong shape of the skull, the bone has to be denser in order to prevent undue stress and injury to the brain from various impacts and traumas. Now when looking at some real world comparisons of skulls, I found that the best suited models were a cross between a gorilla/orangutan skull in brow shape and ridge size, and the early model of the Homo Ergaster, which is an early flat faced, vocalizing hunter-gatherer hominid originating form the African continent several million years ago.
Nose!! Dependent on the structure (since the character generator does allow for some biodiversity), the Draken are okay-ish for scenting things. Probably better than most playable species in the Wildstar Universe. However as far as elite hunting species go, I could arguably say that the Draken would not be the best bloodhounds due to low/average nasal cavity depth. The bridge is mostly bone and muscle, with a very very short cartilage tip. Not a lot of room for any sort of scent receptors there and even then they’d have to be heavily condensed or their actual skin/fur/scale around the noses would be quite a bit more sensitive and prone to weakness.
(However now considering the skull it’s likely plausible....)
Eyes! Actual socket is very large, and houses possibly a decent sized eyeball, with a fair amount of muscle tissue and fiber around the area. Due to the fatty tissue deposit/pocket above the brow bringing a visual weight down around the area, the eyes do NOT look very functional, but in fact are quite acute. Whereas humans, we can see mostly sclera, iris and pupil on average in our own eyes, the draken have no visible sclera, it is enlarged iris and pupil which are excellent excellent excellent when it comes to hunting small and fast prey, and keen night vision. That however can vary dependent on the area of the Draken home world they or their family line extended from.
SO yeah! That’s a Koroth for ya. Have a gif.
