Necromancer Order

One of many orders of sorcerers and magi, the Necromancer Order is an enigmatic force in the lands of Mercentia. Those who are part of the Necromancer Order engage in ritual sacrifice to appease the spirits of those long since gone and strengthen their connection to the Spirit World to fuel their dark magics. From cruel base areas in the vast labyrinthine catacombs under the Western Mountains, the Necromancers launch periodic raiding parties to massacre unarmed villages or engage in assaults against local garrisons to take lives as offerings to their undying masters in exchange for dark blessings.

The Necromancers are typically guided by "Oracles of the Dead" and channel the powers granted by their masters to cast abominable, life-sapping curses, auras that tear apart the morale of their foe, and spells to imbue weaponry with the ability to effortlessly pierce steel plate. By far, their deadliest powers are those wielded by the chosen of the spirits. Amassing great power, these chosen possess the abilities to jump from one body to another, corrode steel with a mere touch, and tear the lifeforce from their victims. The most devastating ability however, is their ability to revive the dead as mindless servants and warriors.

Necromancer society is led by varying Lords and flanked by members of the Lich-class. Lich can be anything ranging from berserker-like warriors to studious alchemists. Beneath the Lich, the rank-and-file conjurers and warriors take their place.
