History
The cult is as much a mystery as their god, Hu'lun as they come and go when ever a dieases pop up and leave when it stops spreading. No one really knows who exactly old they are not to mention why they wear plague doctor masks either. All that we now is that disease is their main game and they are often the ones who spread it among the populations of the Continent of Kinath. What we do know is that first popped up during the time of the White Death in Ardania thousands of years ago during its feudal era. After that they have spotted just when epidemics show up just about any where. They just try to keep it going as long as possible, either by killing those who are trying to cure the sick or trying to mutate the disease in order for it to be harder to cure and more lethal. They are no push overs when it comes to combat too. Though their weaponry is some what unorthodox since they use scythes to chain weapons that are lethal in their hand along with their chemical concoctions that they make to be lethal through skin contact and breathing.
