The Yarvulari

The Yarvulari are said to be a branch of the Descendants that split from them long ago, shortly after Kýrios came to rule. It is said that when he took over the Descendants, he banned radical usage of Necromancy and other dark magics in an attempt to safeguard the order and everyone within it. Instead, he began to diverge attention to the more mystical arts of magic, such as Dunamancy, and mastering the Arcane arts. Naturally, this act was criticized by many, most of whom were necromancers and shadow mages, and many split off in rebellion to form The Yarvulari under one powerful necromancer.

The Yarvulari, in their thirst for supreme power, are FAR more open to outsiders and contact those who dabble in the dark arts. Thus, they are generally seen to be more favourable for most young, foolish mages. However, those that know of them are often wiped of memory, robbed of voice, or simply murdered.

The Yarvulari believe that true power resides in the darker sides of magic, and as such, practice not Arcane magic, which they find primitive, but necromancy and shadow magic, alongside Arcane elements such as conjuration and illusions, coupling them with Truename magic and pact magics alongside ritual magics. They are notorious for being able to thin the veil betwixt dimensions and conjure forth demons, bring rot and decay to entire forest, and corrupt the minds of kings to drive them insane. As a result, the Descendants have interfered with their reckless use of magic many times, and each time, the Yarvulari have lost.

As of recent, however, something stirs within the Yarvulari; something that even The Descendants seem to be wary of, and feel. Something radical. Under their new master, a man named Ocraminnam, a Fallen Aasimar, the Yarvulari have survived for over 700 years, and although Ocraminnam has been slain by Kýrios twice by now, he doesn't seem to die.
