Maenad Class Mod

"The wine gives brilliance to the fields, exalts the hearts, ignites the pupils and teaches the feet to dance”

A woman wrapped in veils and ivy breaks through the people of The Hamlet. Her presence soon stands out among them and her whispers drag promises of salvation and merriment, assuring the will of a naked god who transforms misfortune into euphoria, exalts ecstasy and changes tears into red wine. The Maenad is the fanatical standard-bearer of a distant faith and feeds on psychoactive and psychotropic substances to reach elevated states of consciousness like an unleashed "Narcomancer", coming into contact with spirits and divinities and freeing the body and mind from pain and oppression. Stirred by insanity, paranoia and drunkenness, the Maenad plunges into the heart of darkness to spread her faith and reveal to the world joy through madness.

The Maenad poses great support potential among the team's heroes, offering notable buffs through the "spiced" wine that overflows her Kylix as well as supplying her teammates with Kykeon, which will send them into a state of chemical euphoria. In addition to this, it is an excellent option to keep stress at bay and take advantage of the most suffocating situations. As her stress and tension increase, so will her damage and potential, reaching the state of Enrapture where her euphoria and madness fully embrace the cry of EVOHÉ!

Their game system is based on an escalation of madness and drunkenness. As she drinks and reaches into ecstasy,
her potential soars, but so does her insanity.

* Her move skill allows the maenad to gain a dodge buff and an automatic suffle.
* The maenad is immune to heart attack. But watch out for her stress levels and dementia. At a very high point she will be able to forget much of the experience learned.
* Due to steam rules. All Maenad images on this page contain an additional fig leaf...
* Special thanks to MetalGy for inspiring me to organize the maenad steam page.
* The comic, narrating the origins of the maenad, will be added later.
* Her canon name is Paculla Annia.
* On crit she clears herself of debuff effects



The maenad class mod is just the tip of the iceberg of a much larger and more ambitious project that has been in the works for several years, which includes an extensively developed story about the orphic cults to which the maenad belongs. This expansion project for Darkest Dungeon, apart from the maenad, includes several enemies, bosses, a totally new dungeon with an original soundtrack and several surprises:

A Look at the enemies; The orphic cult

As you can imagine, a project like this requires a lot of effort and requires investing a lot of time in it. Therefore, any help you can provide is more than welcome. Your support is the main engine to motivate me to continue offering quality mods for Darkest dungeon as I have been doing in the last 5 years.
There are still many interesting projects to be released!
