The Scissormen are freakish, horrifying inquisitors who rule the city of Orqwith, and worshiped a god who exists at the mythical crossroads where realities meet.
History
The Scissormen are clothed in red and black, and have featureless faces apparently covered in the same material. They speak in a seemingly random series of words when they talk, resembling dada poetry, created by cutting up text and rearranging its constituent words in a random order. They are shaped like men but when struck hard enough they are defeated and seem to leave nothing but cloth.
They were finally destroyed along with Orqwith when the story was destroyed by a contradiction revealed in a solution to a variation on a traditional riddle.
