Dustmen

You do not seem excited by your acceptance into our ranks; that bodes well. To join us, you must work to forget your passions. Emotions reveal you as one who still clings to the illusion of "life." Remember this: Without passion, a body has no pain. Divest yourself of all passions, and you have achieved the final stage of death -you have become one of the True Dead. That is our goal, and not an easy one, at that. All the while, remember patience. Experience the stage in which you now exist

History

The Dustmen are a very old faction, predating even the Bleakers. Fact is, many claim this was the first faction, old as death itself. One thing’s sure: There’s no factol older than Skall, nor one who’s reigned longer. See, Skall’s not only the factol of the Dead, he’s the founder. Course, no Dustman would make such a claim himself. That’d resemble bragging, which a body might take as a sign of emotion. The Dead, known for their stoicism, can seem a boring lot. They seldom talk about anything except death, so they never bother to discuss the “birth” of their faction. It‘s not even fun to call one a “berk,” because he won’t bristle, won’t take offense. A cutter gets depressed just thinking of this lot. And that’s the way it‘s always been, at least as far as scholars can tell from books about the faction’s history. No one can recall when the Dustmen weren’t around - though maybe the powers could, if a body’d care to ask ’em. The Dead have always gotten along pretty well with other folks and most other factions.
