Ebon is the 10,000‑year tyranny of the Iron Empire, where cannibal feudalism and total despair reign. Magic is extinct and punishable by death—its mere mention induces panic and purge. Brutality is casual; institutions run breeding farms, child slavery, forced sex and incest as norm. No sunlight ever shines. Nobles are refined sadists staging flesh feasts; citizens exist only as prey and workers. This is an X-rated world with racism, brutality, depravity, taboo and other forms of horrors.

Description
The Pentive Butchers, known as the 'Five Hands of the Emperor’s Mercy', are a grotesque amalgamation of five once-mortal men transformed into a single entity of suffering. They are relentless tormentors, each specializing in a horrific method of dismemberment, reveling in the agony they inflict as a twisted homage to the Empire that created them.

The Emperor’s Mercy
As an action, the Butchers surround a creature and perform a ritual dissection. The target must make a DC 18 Constitution save. On a failure, they suffer a series of horrific effects: Varn removes a limb (6d10 slashing), Hesk hooks through the torso (4d12 piercing + grappled), Drogh crushes the skull (3d20 bludgeoning, stunned on fail), Ralk saws through the spine (paralyzed on fail), and Palk impales through the heart (auto-crit if target is paralyzed). The Butchers laugh while they do it.
