description: 'Secreted away in the dark corners of unnamed libraries, necromancer''s
|
|
dens, and heretical scriptoriums, obscure texts describe a horrifying ritual that
|
|
combines sacrifice and suffering to create a powerful undead being known as a herecite.
|
|
These monsters, stripped of personal will or desire, are born into the service of
|
|
an evil god whom they worship unerringly and untiringly, often in spite of any opposing
|
|
religious leanings they may have had in life. Every herecite harbors an unquenchable
|
|
self-hatred because it was defiled by such a foul resurrection—a rage it turns outward
|
|
in an attempt to rob others of their faith and lives.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Herecites often outlast the cults that create them. Stranded herecites are drawn
|
|
to others of their kind, even if they are dedicated to different evil deities, and
|
|
when brought together they perform rites to magically bind themselves in a group
|
|
known as a cabal. While cabal members share enhanced magic and defenses, induction
|
|
into a cabal appears to hold even deeper significance for herecites. The presence
|
|
of others of their kind with whom they can pray—in verses warped to venerate wicked
|
|
gods—seems the only solace these tormented beings can find in undeath. Such a fellowship
|
|
of sorrow is nigh unbreakable, as many an overzealous crusader has discovered far
|
|
too late.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Customarily found within heavily modified temples to the pantheon of gods they collectively
|
|
worship, herecites act in service to their creators or as protectors of unholy ground.
|
|
High priests of different evil gods may even trade herecites among themselves, allowing
|
|
their minions to form cabals strengthened by their varied faiths. A lone herecite
|
|
cut off from its creators—often because it is the sole remnant of a destroyed temple
|
|
or its master has perished—may wander far and wide in search of a cabal to join.
|
|
Other times, the herecite seeks out a place sacred to the deity it worshipped in
|
|
life. Whether motivated by a desire for contrition or vengeance, the end result
|
|
of this baleful pilgrimage is always the desecration of the holy site and the slaughter
|
|
of its congregants, who may in turn rise as lesser forms of undead.
