These twisted knights of the Cryx combine the brute force of a warrior with powerful necromantic magics. They serve as the Captains of the Cryx army. Charging headlong with their Cryx troops to cut down vast legions of foes. No one has met a Goreshade in battle and lived, so not much is known of them. They do seem to be accompanied by War Witches often. These Cryx have their own intelligence and free will. They can communicate and exert their own will during battles. Though their only purpose, as most Cryx, seems to be destruction.
