The Mourn Watch Background

Faction Lore

This elite necromantic order explores the mysteries of life and death, and tends to the undead in Nevarra's sprawling Grand Necropolis.

Rook Backstory

Defender of the Dead

Discovered by undead inside a Grand Necropolis tomb as an infant, Rook was raised by Mourn Watch necromancers, eventually joining the order. During a civil war between undead nobility, known later as the War of the Banners, he/she led a daring attack on the rebellion's dueling leaders.

It was a success, quelling the war and saving lives. But Rook's destruction of these undead nobles was controversial. Some Mourn Watchers feared Rook had offended the order's aristocratic patrons and encouraged him/her to travel for a while.
