Opache Marmes

Opache Marmes (Classical Masalwawan, lit. Strong Warrior) are a type of Doconrov. They are the giant guardians and soldiers of the mythic realm of Masalwawas.

Physical Description
They are commonly described as menacing, giant, monstrous warriors with massive faces. Earliest texts describe them as such : "Headless but with faces as big as their body", "torsos replaced with a giant heads."

They were clad in heavy armor and use menacing weapons called "Beltes" and "Heudy Beltes", (speculated to be bows and arrows) though they may sometimes use "Swerd" (bladed weapons such as swords or daggers) and "Lamuch" (polearms such as lances or spears).

Opache Marmes can "clasp their arms and legs together as one to become the arms and legs of a Squed Mede. In this united form they are more terrifying and powerful, and cause much destruction to the enemies of Daniss. "

Their leaders, called Puimavach, are described to have "wildly different, alien and monstrous countenances" and are "garbed in different exotic armaments". Some named Puimavachs like Oicbolgr have been described in detail in scripture and literature.

In Sauhpeessee Myth
In the myriad legends and epics of the Sauh'peessee, they are described as dutiful, zealous converts of Daniss the Dark Angel, tasked to protect him and his followers from enemies of the faith. When Daniss goes to war, they are the bulk of his armed forces.

In Denism
In Denist scripture, they are Elves born and emanated of Masalwawas, tasked with protecting the faithful as they pass through the Moorwelk and the Terrors of the Welp.

There are 64 legions of them who encircle Masalwawas and patrol the Welp and the Moorwelk. Each legion is led by a Puimavach, who is the strongest and wisest of them.

They are stationed at the 4 palaces called Juuirsloro that surround the Kingdom of Masalwawas, in which non-elves are separated from elves in order to spare them from the destruction caused by Elfin Energies. Under the watchful eye of the Golden Eagle of Daniss, they assist in purifying the sinful there.

A son of Daniss called Ganguinug led a legion of Opache Marmes called the Bleed Argals, but he is not a Puimavach, nor a Doconrov.
