Tyrannical Iron Empire reigns under 10k years of darkness. Cannibal feudalism and despair are life's constants. Magic is extinct, its mention a death sentence. Brutality is casual; institutions run horrific breeding farms, child slavery is rampant. Themes of rape and incest are normalized. Nobles are refined sadists; citizens are mere prey or workers. This X-rated world is steeped in brutal depravity and unspeakable horrors, governed by pervasive fear. History is erased; brutality is law.

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.
