Re: The Cult of Chemosh

Chemosh himself is incredibly secretive,
The only person he ever shared his secrets with was Takhisis and she stole the secrets to use to her own devices creating the Death Knight Krull and Chemosh never forgave her for that. Frankly this guild is sounding more and more interesting as it develops. I've read a lot on Chemosh through my years enjoying a series which focuses on the cult of Chemosh quite immensely.
Chemosh is responsible for directing souls into the afterlife and during the war of the souls Takhisis again used Chemosh's own secrets to subvert his authority in this realm again showing Chemosh how important it is to keep things secret. Chemosh liked to offer souls an opportunity to live again should they choose and would often send them back through necromancy to inhabit their once dead bodies as ghouls and zombies and the like and be servants to priests of Chemosh.
I do have a question though for Gorboth. Will these Necromancers be considered to be "Priests of Chemosh" or is Chemosh more the theoretical RP background against which these necromancers will be placed. Either way, Awesome idea and really cool sounding guild.
