Difference between revisions of "The Occultists"

Shrouded by secrecy and misinformation, the venerable House of the '''Occultists''' makes its home in the northern [[city]] of [[Ashtan]]. Known for its unpredictability and general insanity, it is a group fiercely devoted to the forbidden study of Chaos in all of its manifestations. Considering themselves scholars and thaumaturgists of the highest order, members have also produced some of [[:Category:History|history's]] great warriors and leaders. Indeed, the [[God|Goddess]] [[Eris]] arose from the mortal Occultist, [[Servelan]]. Central to the occultic identity is the oath of secrecy that every member must swear, and the violation of that oath is the only intolerable crime recognized by the House. Both its intense study of Chaos and its affiliation with the [[city]] of [[Ashtan]] lend the House a strong focus on the ideal of freedom; Occultists despise unnecessary constraints and are quick to overturn taboos and prohibitions.
