DIE AUTEM NECROMANTIA

lovis Solisque Cultu et sepulcri violate

O Fratres et Sorores! Vide!

 

The shrouded, irreverent, and somber practice of reanimation at present lacks much territorial reign, glory be to GOD. While those who engage in this form of diabolism are few in number it is important that the Faithful understand this practice and its implications.

 

The Desecration of the Sepulchre

 

In order for any necromantic acts to be performed a copious supply of bodies are requisite. For this purpose necromancers will oftentimes take up residence where a multitude of corpses are available such as cemeteries and battlegrounds. 

 

For their work they employ the bodies of the dead who are animated through their godless power, a power exemplified at length within the Holy Scrolls. It is encouraged that all Canonists practice cremation of their loved ones with the blessing of their Pastor in an effort to avoid unwanted and condemned reanimation.

 

The Signs of Hosting

 

It is fairly obvious when a neglectful necromancer has taken up residence in a specific region. A noticeable dread will be present as well as blight about the land where their godless acts transpire. They far too often choose to reside in all the same places: dark forests, swamps (especially swamps), dark towers… Rarely will you find a beach-side necromancer. 

 

It is also important to note that necromancers prefer regions that are most conducive to their art. For example, they would not want to be in plain sight within a city so they are likely to be in a region far off- however, they avoid the cold as it interferes with their corpses.

 

The Ritual

 

If you in your travels about these isles come across a bloody altar in some swamp or forest it is best, first, to hightail it out of there. Secondly, it is important to report this information to your local Holy Ser who should investigate what is transpiring. 

 

In explanation- the rituals and rites of the necromancer are not too detached from our rites within the Church. They reverse and pervert our Holy Mass, a source of spiritual life when they perform their masses of death devoid of all good. The Holy Mass was formed to praise GOD for the elevation of Man to the Skies while the rites of the necromancers were formed for the express purpose of self glorification, a selfless exaltation of Man, a vile offence before GOD.

So then- be well informed on those forces which seek to pervert what is pure and good on this Terra and work actively to expunge them from it. May the blessings of Almighty GOD descend down on all creatures of GOD and continue in their tireless effort to promote all that is sanctioned by Divinity and condemn that vile viper Iblees and all his deception.

“Necromancy hasn’t been seen for nearly a century, kind of odd for it to be randomly brought up nowadays,” an Exalted Father would say to himself as he read the note. He then shrugged. ”Whatever keeps the children from playing outside at night, I guess.”
