The most numerous of all the spirits that join Nighthaunt processions are the Chainrasp Hordes. These gheists are created from the spirits of the most vicious and irredeemable criminals to have lived in the Mortal Realms. They are lesser spirits, held together in the afterlife by nothing other than their own never-ending spite and all-consuming madness, a negative energy which saps the will of their enemies. Chainrasps may have thought death to be an escape from terrible imprisonment but, in truth, it was merely the beginning.
Champions of such hordes are known as Dreadwardens and they bear candles which act as beacons to the tormented horde as they chase the light they believe leads to freedom. However the candle is in fact part of their binding.
