Clan Haust [Vdalion]

[Enginseer-42]

A Litany Revealed

Following the conclusion of the grand moot to decide the fate of Necromancy in Vdalion, a notice would go out to from the hall of Haust. A notice of a new litany, for necromancers not followers of Samir Tal but instead followers of the Hofgothi and priests of the Zealots.

The Litany of Sacrifice.

Though much of the gory details of Necromancy remains obscured in the announcement, the tenets of this litanies code are published for all to see.

1.) So long as the sky remains shattered, our work is not yet complete. Only in the healing of Helheim's wound is our duty fulfilled.

2.) To disturb the rest of the Righteous dead, or to allow the Unrighteous dead peace is Anathema.

3.) Do not raise the dead idly, but ever seek out the redeemable souls to aid them on their journey.

4.) Trust not the wicked, nor the despairing, nor those hungry for power for they will turn the arts towards Hels will.

5.) Necromancy is a transgression, even the most righteous of practitioners must bear penance for it.

6.) Act with care, consider the act nine times before raising the dead.

7.) Trust not the Bane-Thrall, but make use of them. Their souls are weighted with their crimes, but even they can be forced to serve the good of Mankind, with sufficient mastery.

8.) Aid with all your means the Einherjar on the path of Redemption, for theirs is the journey of Heroes.

9.) When the great wound is mended, and the sky whole once again, Necromancy must be practiced no more.

Any who would take up the art of Necromancy for the greater good of Vdalion and Meranthe, who would swear themselves to the above code may present themselves to Eitr of Haust for training in the Necromantic arts.
