Impiis are outcast Ascalabotes who do not follow any kind of rules and often do not have morals either. They are ruthless and are feared in the clans for being a very big threat.
History
The phrase impii was first used to describe Ascalabotes who refused to join the clans when they were first formed, preferring to live in their own packs. They were still peaceful and abide by the common rules that had been set in place long before the clans. It’s not known who the first impii was that rediscovered mana or how the knowledge spread but the clan leader got wind that the outcast Ascalabotes were beginning to do things that many deemed impossible such as lifting rocks without touching them and flying without wings. The clan leader went to the impiis to learn what they were doing and discovered that the impiis had reconnected to Senluna’s mana, letting them have incredible powers, she was afraid that should the clan Ascalabotes learn of this they would overthrow her so she declared impiis dangerous felons that should be avoided and made it difficult for any clan Ascalabote to learn mana.
When Pergro discovered portal jumping he was declared an impii and was banished.
At some point after the impiis began to resent the clans and their mistreatment, this unrest led power hungry Ascalabotes to claim leadership of groups of impiis and organize them to be against the clans. Slowly these impiis lost any regard for rules and even morals, the darkest of the Ascalabotes began to make themselves known in the impiis. Clan Ascalabotes went from ignoring impiis to fearing them, in response to their threat the clans created new careers to keep themselves safe.
It was an impii named Okubi who really solidified the impiis into a singular fighting force, making them even more dangerous and ruthless. Okubi led the attack on the clans that eventually caused them to leave their ancestral territories for safer land.

Threat today
There are not any known impiis near where the clan is, however they do not take any chances and are always on the watch for them. Strangers are met with suspicion and many don’t trust newcomers.
Okubi’s impiis have only made it to the mountains that split the savanna from the steppe and seem content to stay in the territory they stole instead of going after the survivors.
Using mana is also no longer going to get an Ascalabote branded as an impii and it’s encouraged that Ascalabotes learn what natural mana they have.

Impiis vs Incomitatus
Both impiis and incomitatus are words that describe an Ascalabote that lives outside of the clan. Impiis are ruthless and bloodthirsty, their souls corrupted by darkness, they live by no rules and constantly fight with each other. Incomitatus on the other hand are Ascalabotes who for whatever reason do not live directly in the clan but still follow the rules and often interact with the clans in positive ways, this is very similar to historical impiis before they were corrupted.
