Necromonger fleet disguised as comet heading towards Helion Prime While the soldiers of the Necromonger Empire do wield guns, it is considered more honorable to use melee weapons.Īrmada "It is said the comet always precedes them." - Abu al-Walid The warriors do not believe in clean armor, believing that the more damage you show, the greater the warrior you are.
The troops of the empire are particularly effective, they view death as honorable, and are unable to feel pain. The new converts wear: burned, tattered, and decayed robes. After this "purification" the nerves are numbed, and color drains from the converts eyes and skin. All living Necromongers are converts, when they undergo conversion they receive the "mark of the Necromonger": two painful spikes stabbed into the sides of their necks, they learn how one pain can lessen another. The Necromongers do not reproduce, as to not propagate life further, thus the reason they refer to all non-necros as breeders.
They also believe heavily in a philosophy that says "you keep what you kill", believing that ending another's life entitles you to their property and position. The Underverse is their promised land, believing that unless a person dies "in due time" that they will not go to the Underverse. The Necromongers believe that each 'verse has its own god, that life is antagonistic to the natural order of the universe and must be purged from it to be reborn in the Underverse.
