Shrouded by secrecy and misinformation, the venerable [[House]] of '''the Occultists''' makes its home in the northern city of [[Ashtan]]. Known for their unpredictability and general insanity, they are a group fiercely devoted to the forbidden study of [[Chaos]] in all of its manifestations. Considering themselves scholars and thaumaturgists of the highest order, they have also produced some of history's great warriors and leaders. Indeed, the 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 their intense study of Chaos and their affiliation with the city of Ashtan lend the House a strong focus on the ideal of freedom; they despise unnecessary constraints and are quick to overturn taboos and prohibitions.

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]].

In the year 397 AF, the Occultists [[Guild]] became the Occultists [[House]] under Orklanishkal Eruu'Yul. Unlike many of the other guilds who made the same transition, the Occultists changed little with respect to their identity and customs.
