Lore
There are no royal bloodlines in the Plaguelands. To rule one must command with strength, and respect is earned through survival. However, if there were an analog of nobility in Plagubringer's wastes it is well represented by the Necromancers.
Serving triple roles as advisors, infectionists, and priests, Necromancers are regarded as aspects of the Plaguebringer's Will personified. To have one serve a clan is recognized as a great honor and a sign of Her favor. Those outside the Plaguelands can be confused by the title, as Plaguebringer's enmity toward zombies and those that create them is well known. However, Mother's first servants do not take their name from its contemporary usage, but instead choose to reclaim the word's original root, as found in necrosis, to describe the mastery and manipulation of flesh-killing disease.
Necromancers earn their title by meditating for twenty-three days and nights on the Rotrock Rim without aid or succor. Prestige is gained by choosing a perch closer to the Wyrmwound, but this also increases the risk of failure. Successful dragons choose a symbol of Necromantic rank and a familiar and thereby earn the title of Necromancer.
True Necromancers can infect with a touch, as well as pull disease from the body at will. Dragons that can infect but not cure are known as Necroservus and often serve accomplished Necromancers. Failed Necromancers, or Ghouls, are riddled with plague, slowly dying, and are thought to embody Plaguebringer's displeasure. Some Plague dragons believe that She sends them into disobedient clans to bring down suffering and annihilation. A Ghoul's fate is death unless a Necromancer succeeds in neutralizing the plague within them, a far from certain outcome.
Outside of the traditional hierarchy exist the Wraiths, dragons who did not pass the Trials by their own merits and so forfeit their claim to a title. They do not possess the abilities of a Necromancer, nor the cursed fate of a Ghoul, instead existing in the nebulous space between success and failure.
And then there are the traitors, the Lich. These renegades have sold their soul to the Shade and the Necromantic Council have sworn to hunt them down to the ends of Sornieth if need be.
The Trials
A series of three trials to which a necromancer must endure to earn their mantle.
Status: Passed 3/3
Trial of Infection
Plaguebringer must acknowledge their ambition by touching their flesh with plague. If no plague develops after thirteen days, the dragon is considered unworthy and fails.
- Upon the sixth day, Cadaver's received their sign from Mother to which their flesh was touched with plague and holy infection.
Trial of Survival
Dragons prove their strength by fighting the plague and keeping it from consuming them whole by any means necessary. If they are successful the plague is suppressed and goes dormant, appearing on their skin as a series of slashing stripes across the spine and the edges of their wings.
Trial of Contagion
By the dawn of the twenty-fourth day the dragon must prove its dominion of the plague by both passing it on to another being through touch and calling it back again. Control of disease is a divine gift and the true Necromancer should be able to spread and cure it with ease. If a dragon can spread the disease but not dampen it, they are given the inferior title of Necroservus, and are usually bound to an accomplished Necromancer as their servant.
Qualifications
Necromancer Genetics: Altered from the result of the trials.
- Primary: Leopard (Taupe)
- Secondary: Striation (Blood)
- Tertiary: Thylacine (Maroon)
Unusual Eyes: Dragons with unusual eyes have depths in magical ability that can be hard to fathom. Their powers run deep, as their bodies serve as a reservoir they can draw on even when external resources run thin. Unfortunately, their endurance can also make them reckless. Unusual-eyed dragons might overextend themselves if they're not familiar with their own limits. If these dragons are touched by Mother's Blessing in the first trial they soon find that they can overcome the plague through sheer force of will. They beat back the sickness limb from limb, organ by organ, until it lies dormant within them, ready to be called upon. While it is rare for an unusual-eyed dragon to fail the second trial, they have no guarantees in passing the third.
