The Exorcists
Uzzud, a great magocracy ruled by wood elven mages once stood in modern-day Parcivale. However, it was cursed by the arch-hag Saltissa after a fallout with the last queen of Uzzud, which resulted in all the citizens of the capital city to become undead. The city quickly fell into ruins, and if it weren't for the deep river, tangled forests and tall mountains surrounding the city, the horde of undead would have threatened to spread throughout Chronan.
The undying still posed a threat to the surrounding nations, especially the dwarves of Monda. They formed a special order of clerics of their goddess Elethrain, who governed over the Underworld, to battle these undead and keep them at bay. In dwarvish, this order of holy warriors was known as Endurthrainir, but as centuries passed and The Order was formed, the clerical sect - like their goddess - was inducted into the faith of the Gods of Time and Order under the name of the Exorcists.
The Exorcists vigilantly guard the Dead River surrounding the Necropolis of Uzzud, preventing any from passing while also keeping foolhardy treasure hunters away from the ruins. Their duty is tedious and repetitive, and their numbers have dwindled in modern times. Majority of them are still dwarves as per tradition, but members of other species have been welcomed ever since The Order took over. They are dressed in black plate mail with the emblem of their goddess - a skull with gems for eyes - on the front. Their base of operations is the Sepulcher of Souls, the grand underground temple of Eletrain, in Parcivale City, from where they have been lead for centuries by High Priestess Elomino Deepdelver.
