KNIGHTS OF
THE RAVEN GUARD![]()
|
God of Death
The Raven Knights are an order
dedicated to Mörr the God of Death and take their name from the bird, which
is so common with the Cult's religious devices. It is also known formally
as the High and Chivalric Order of Deserved Rest and sometimes as the Black
Guard, although few outside the cult understand its titles. The Order is
not only comprised of Knights but also priests skilled at arms as well as
magic (called Raven Priests) and alchemists and herbalists skilled at the
application of pure metals as an effective weapon against Undead and of the
manufacture of graveroot respectively. As devout followers of Mörr, the Raven Knights is a
martial order dedicated to the destruction of Necromancers and Undead
creatures wherever they are to be found. Despite this modus operandi this
branch of the cult of Mörr is hardly known by the bulk of the populous
whose only contact with the Cult tends to come via the Mourner's Guild (the
institution which deals with funerals.) It comes as no surprise that the
templars of the Raven Knights are very few in number, akin to the smaller
Knightly Orders of the World, and are seldom seen.
