The Netherkin



The Netherkin live in the great forest of Hellmore which covers vast amounts of the southlands. At the centre of the forest is the Mountain of Moons or Moon Mountain (As the world Carador is on has two moons). The mountains and their many caverns are used as a natural necropolis by the Netherkin and a place of worship to their Goddess, Narcalla the Mistress of the Afterlife.

When the Netherkin die, they wish to be taken to the mountains and buried there in the hope that Narcalla will raise them as undead to serve her in the afterlife on the ‘Day of the Dead’ a once a month ritual linked to the lunar circles of the moons. There is no greater honour for a family then when one of their loved ones is raised as an undead, either on their sacred day or by another Netherkin during a time of need (Normally during a conflict or war when more undead are needed).

The forests and mountains have a great many undead roaming about them. In fact, the undead are ‘living’ alongside the Netherkin and until the recent battles with the Brocaman, numbered in their thousands. The Netherkin live in forest settlements, often built in the trees and prefer the darkness offered by the thick branches of the forest. Some Netherkin have a natural infinity with the undead and are able to communicate with them as they could with the living.

Unfortunately, the Netherkin lost a number of major battles against the Brocaman which has seen the number of undead drop significantly. The Netherkin now struggle to raise as many undead as they previously had and believe these new crystal constructions the Brocaman have built are hindering their attempts to raise greater numbers of undead, though they are still capable of raising small numbers.

Narcalla the Mistress of the Afterlife, is often pictured as a beautiful but pale lady with a see-through black veil covering her face. On the night of a lunar eclipse (when the two moons come together), the Netherkin perform a ritual that raises all of the recently dead buried in the mountains. On the last attempt though nothing happened and the Netherkin believe they need to find some way to destroy the crystal constructions.

In appearance, Netherkin look like sickly and pale humans, who often dress in black clothing adorn with bones or skulls.
