The Wretches
The bottommost layer of the Silver Pinnacle were home to several crypt ghoul packs. When she had noticed them in the past, Neferata had these foul flesh-eaters rooted out and destroyed, but always more arrived to fill the lower levels. They worshipped the cold allure of the Silver Queen and were drawn to her presence, gnawing on scraps of bone and awaiting her orders. Although well beneath her attention, on occasions in war Neferata stooped to employing these creatures to fill out the ranks of her armies, although she preferred not to look upon them and communicated to them via her handmaidens, referring to them as "The Wretches" – a name which the other vampires took to using as well.[1a]
