In the distant past, before [[Nicator]] and his [[Seleucarian Empire|empire]], the Occultists were scattered into a loosely organised system of cabals. Studying the secrets of [[karma]] and 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 [[Seleucarian Empire|empire]], the Occultists were scattered into a loosely organised system of cabals.

The [[Carnivalis]] family, of which [[Silvestri Carnivalis]] would later become 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 through the [[Eschaton Experiment]], under the leadership of [[Shakti|Shakti Devi]] and direction of Eris, Goddess of Chaos. | Regrouping, the Occultists established themselves in Ashtan, under the leadership of Belladona’s son, [[Luxsyth]].
