History

The Order of the Dead is the crowning jewel of Torrezon, proof that our faith in the ways of old should never have been shaken. With them, I united a land of savage tribes and people unready to stand against the world. Through them, we shall reawaken the truth this land taught our ancestors in ages past. ~Verona Elmahdy, Empress of the Valcoran Empire

The Order of the Dead started as a sub-sect of The Church of Osirant who specifically dealt with the processing and internment of the dead of high society. After the second fall of the Valcoran Empire, Verona Elmahdy rebuilt the order under the understanding that she had been instructed that returning to the ancient ways of honoring the dead would return the Empire and Torrezon to its former glory. She preceded to use the Order to seize control of the entire continent with a grip of steel, crushing all that opposed her rule and designs for the new path the Valcoran Empire must take. Each member of the Order is given the Holy Rite of Salvation, after proving ones dedication to the Empire.
