Raserei (Rage)

No living being, wesen or otherwise, would dare run afoul of the Raserei. More commonly known as Furies, these foul wesen are of a lineage so old that it predates recorded history. No one knows their place of origin (Greece is the most likely possibility, but confirmation is impossible) or how they came to be. But everyone who knows of them also knows why they are to be feared.

When woged, Raserei resemble something out of a nightmare. Their ordinary eyes are replaced with four black ones, pupiless and unblinking. Their nose is replaced by two fleshy holes in the centre of the face and their teeth reform into squat fangs that are no longer covered by lips. Where there should be skin, there is instead black chiton. Ears disappear entirely. On the top of each wrist there is a seven inch long bone spur, sharp enough and strong enough to rend flesh and cartilage apart. The leg and arm muscles become denser and stronger. But all this is nothing compared to the horrifying nature of their minds.

Raserei are nothing if not vengeful. Any wrong against them, no matter how minor, must be rectified in blood. That would be scary enough one its own, but Raserei take it so much further. Only minor wrongs are punished with death. Those who commit a major wrong are shown the Rasereis' sadistic side. They will stalk said individual for a period as short as a week or as long as a year. During this period, the Raserei will perpetuate a campaign of terror against the poor sap who wronged them. It typically starts with appearing in the shadows in their victims peripheral vision and disturbing messages carved into the walls of their homes. It usually ends with the mutilated bodies of friends and loved ones found hanging from ceilings and assurances of death written in blood. In the end, the victim usually goes insane or commit suicide. Those few that don't eventually find themselves sharing the fates of those the Raserei killed as a message to them.

Should you wrong one, there is no hope for survival, as they are experts at stealth and view apologies as insincere. All you can do is wait and hope that someone with power comparable to them pieties you. If that is not in the cards, find a gun and end you life before the Raserei makes it unbearable.
