In the distant past, before [[Nicator]] and his empire, the Occultists were scattered into a loosely organized system of cabals. Studying the secrets of karmic aura manipulation, and quietly interacting with the mysterious and powerful [[Chaos Lords]], they soon attracted the attention of more radical elements within the ancient [[Church]]. According to traditional occultic legend, the [[Luminai]] launched a vicious crusade against them. Cabals were destroyed, libraries were burned, and all traces of their work were eliminated immediately upon discovery. | In the distant past, before [[Nicator]] and his empire, the Occultists were scattered into a loosely organized system of cabals.

The Carnivalis family, of whom [[Silvestri Carnivalis]] would later be the most famous, sheltered many of the Occultists who were trying to flee the wrath of the Church. According to the legends, it was from the kindness of this organisation that the occultists learned the art of [[Tarot]]. Countess [[Belladona]], then of Ashtan, also offered sanctuary to the disorganised Occultists. In return, however, she demanded their assistance in the development of [[Necromancy]] -- an art that, misfiring, ultimately was her ruin when it transformed her into a fearsome [[Vampires|Vampiress]]. | The Carnivalis family, of whom [[Silvestri Carnivalis]] would later be the most famous, sheltered many of the Occultists who were trying to flee the wrath of the Church.

Regrouping, the Occultists established themselves in Ashtan, under the leadership of Belladona’s son, [[Luxsyth]]. Abandoning [[Occultism]] by his order, they committed themselves entirely to the study of Necromancy. It was not until the year 304, when deprived of Necromancy by the malevolent decree of [[Sartan]], that the Occultists recovered Occultism under the leadership of [[Shakti|Shakti Devi]]. | Regrouping, the Occultists established themselves in Ashtan, under the leadership of Belladona’s son, [[Luxsyth]].
