"Wow. That is just weird." And not just the name. "I don't think I've ever heard of anything like that before." The closest he'd ever come to something like that were the more powerful demons that could take on the forms and abilities of lesser demons but even that wasn't on the same level.

He's silent for several minutes, trying to picture what a creature like that would look like as he polishes off half the contents of his plate with all the gusto and table-manners of a man who hasn't eaten for days.

No wonder this guy wants to know all the gritty details about the darkspawn, if he spends his life hunting down creatures like that which can rip you to pieces and eat you. Or worse.

"Darkspawn taint is spread through contact. They corrupt the land just with their presence while people mostly tend to get the taint from their blood." Something that is difficult to avoid when fighting them. Even the longest pole-axe can only do so much to keep them away in the middle of a skirmish. Hence the ghoul problem that follows them. "As for the ghouls, they will eat people. I've never asked how... fresh they like their meat though." He shudders, pushing aside the bit of lamb on his plate in favour of another hunk of cheese.

"I don't think the darkspawn are going to show up in your home or anything though. They're sort of... restricted in where they go."
