Whatever his reasons, he grants his Spears special training in weapons and magic. No one knows what draws the eye of the Voices, what makes him choose a gang member to become a Crimson Spear.

They answer only to the Archon, and can command the obedience-if not the loyalty-of any other gang within the Scarlet Chorus.

The Crimson Spears: The Crimson Spears are the personal gang of the Voices of Nerat.

They are feared as much by their fellow Choirmen as they are by their enemies. Using fire magic stolen from conquered mages, and spells of fear and frenzy gained from studying the captive Archon of Song, these lethal mages can both demoralize and devastate their opponents.

Blood Chanters: Blood Chanters are the magical arm of the Scarlet Chorus.

Fast and lethal, Furies dual wield weapons in a spinning, acrobatic attack style to confuse and disorient their foes.

Scarlet Furies: Scarlet Furies are the elite fighters of the Scarlet Chorus, trained to ignore pain and wounds to kill their targets.

The strongest of Blood Hounds can channel this energy to powerful ranged attacks. Instead, they channel their energy directly, leaking a powerful-yet deadly-aura of energy called 'the Bleed.' This energy is corrosive to life, even the Blood Hounds themselves.

Blood Hounds: Blood Hounds are apprentice mages too weak or undisciplined to channel arcane energy via the sigils of mastery.

The weak die quickly, and the strong rise to become gang bosses. Food, water, shelter, even a weapon to attack the enemy with.

When a new conscript joins the Chorus, they must fight for everything. The unwashed, untrained masses fighting to earn their names.

The Horde: The Horde comprises the majority of the Scarlet Chorus.

You can also check out images of each of these and the Voices of Nerat himself in the gallery above. (The entirety of the Scarlet Chorus is led by the Voices of Nerat, who, despite the name, is a single individual.) Obsidian shared further descriptions of each of the five gangs with GameSpot, which you can see below. A handful of groups comprise the Scarlet Chorus, each with its own leader who can be challenged for their position by anyone at any time.
