the Deathguard
The Deathguard are a religious order dedicated to combating evil undead and those who would create them. The order is based out of Shae Cairdal in Aerenal and is exclusively composed of elf priests and warriors.
Structure
The Deathguard are led by High Warden undying councilor Cial Jhaelian. Beneath him are 4 Wardens who are each responsible for Deathguard operations in one of Argonnessen, Khorvaire, Sarlona, or Xen'drik. With the exception of the Warden of Argonnessen, who is based out of Aerenal, each Warden is based on their continent.
Members
Most of the Deathguard's 400 or so members are Aereni elves, with a small minority being urban elves from Khorvaire. Many of the Deathguard are from the Jhaelian family, whose skull tattoos and artificially decomposed flesh give the appearance of undeath.
Culture
The Deathguard view fighting evil undead and the necromancers who create them as part of a great crusade against darkness. Members of the Deathguard on Aerenal hunt for signs of undead or necromantic activity in Mabaran manifest zones that dot the island. However, many members of the Deathguard are dispersed far and wide across the other continents of Eberron to hunt down and do battle with undead.
History
The Deathguard were founded in order to destroy the Vol family and its necromantic practices. They view the existence of the Blood of Vol as a sign of failure. Their first base of operations was the Temple of the Deathguard in Shae Cairdal.
