The Death Cult

Added 2015-02-27 13:19:37 +0000 UTC

Buried in the crypts and tombs under the ruins of Bryn Mynnyd is the Church of Silence (known be the few outsiders who know it exists as the Death Cult of Bryn Mynnyd or the Assassin’s Cult of Bryn Mynnyd). This group isn’t a “Mwah ha ha ha, look at my undead minions!” type cult, but are more the “heh heh heh… Murder, murder and murder, my pretties” type of cult. Ensconced in a massive tomb in the crypts, the assassin-priests of the cult have trained most of the creatures that live down here to keep their distance from them, using alchemically-treated blue torches to remind them to stay clear. Priests of blood and murder, they prefer their corpses on the truly dead side and do not surround themselves with zombies and other undead as many necromantic cults do… but that doesn’t mean they don’t have the means to raise the dead when the shit hits the fan. In fact, should someone make a concerted effort to eliminate the church, odds are they would find themselves surrounded by hundreds of skeletons and zombies crawling out of the many niches in this node. Both the high priest and his right hand man know how to use the dark heart in their temple to unleash a wave of animating force through the complex to awaken the many corpses they have prepared over the decades.
