Description (Healing Blade Lore)
Francisella tularensis are nasty Lords that have terrorized Soma for nearly a century. Known as rabbit demons, they can tear apart the boundary wall as well wreak havoc on the interior towns and cities. The damage they cause depends on which of the four F. tularensis armies are attacking, and where they strike first, and without the help of the Apothecaries, even threaten to kill the land and its inhabitants.
They most commonly enter Soma by scaling the boundary wall, but have also been known to descend on the Respiro Forest or occasionally through Buccal Bay and the Oculos. Unlike some Lords, F. tularensis does not need Soma or another land to survive, and can lurk in the waters surrounding the island country, striking without warning. They are also quick to move from one land to another, often stirred up when its burrows are disturbed during land maintenance work, making their threat widespread and unpredictable.
Not only are F. tularensis capable of avoiding the defensive maneuvers of Soma’s Noble Sentry, they actually use the Defenders’ camps to multiply their armies. Once sequestered by the Sentry, the rabbit demons break out of their holding cells, thriving on the camps’ resources while creating countless new, young demons that burst from the site and spread around the land. The details of F. tularensis’s tricks are not well understood, but they are suspected to contain potions that help them break free of the Sentry jails and infiltrate the camps. Soma’s best bet is to deploy one of the few Apothecaries that can defeat the evil Lords before their numbers become too great to overcome.
