Sorrow

Sorrows are a type of Neverborn Woe which feature in Wyrd Games’ Malifaux universe.

Description
Ethereal spirits resembling greenish wisps of mist, Sorrows embody the mortal sense of despair. Attracted to such feelings, Sorrows congregate around those who exhibit these emotions, feeding from the feelings of anxiety and depression exuded by such unfortunates, and slowly draining their life’s essence.

Most often found in the company of Pandora, Woes are commonly employed as psychological weapons by the Neverborn who possess the power to summon them. Even those not afflicted with symptoms of inadequacy or low self-esteem can be brought down by the aura that these creatures exude about them, causing opponents to suffer from a deep melancholy, dulling their senses and making them easy prey for the Neverborn. In extreme cases, the targets of a Sorrow’s attention may even simply give up and allow the spirits to feed until they have nothing left to give.
