Cryx is one of the main factions in Warmachine and one of the eponymous Iron Kingdoms. Well, technically, it isn't, but who cares about such pedantics? Well most factions in Warmachine have some humanizing elements to them, Cryx is a straight evil faction.

Cryx is an archipelago ruled over by the godlike dragon Lord Toruk. Toruk likes undead, and he likes pirates, so he decided to combine the two into undead pirates, supported by both undead and pirates. Being a steampunk fantasy setting however Toruk is not satisfied with just a bunch of ill-washed scum. So he has his iron-wraiths (or what this cross of necromancers and engineers are called) constructed various brutal torture machines on legs to suck out the souls their victims and spread the work of the good old Dragonfather.

Toruk set up the kingdom to help him search for and take down his dragonspawn. Once this is achieved it is doubtful that Toruk will care what else happens as long as his kingdom covers the entire planet.

They like to raid Cygnar, which is one of the main reasons Cygnar has the best navy of all the Iron Kingdoms. The other Iron Kingdoms too have suffered Cryx's predations but don't seem to regard them as the most serious threat to existence (this could be most of the setting is power mad loons or fanatics with a cause too focused on their own goals to see the bigger picture). Only the Circle Orboros and Legion of Everblight seem to realise the threat Cryx truly poses, and in both cases the pot is calling the kettle black.

Considering the horrors that regularly come out of this place it is amazing the human nations haven't got together to get rid of them, although they would all be fried alive if Toruk decided to give them a good thrashing himself. Seriously even Godzilla would struggle to take on this guy.
