Sect of the Grave-Ward
The Grey Cloaks Third Calling
The First branch of the Ministry of the Grey Lady

{art credit}

Across the grey waters of limbo,
sat The Grey Lady beneath a willow.
To every visitor of her realm,
she led the fallen to their sweet farewell.

All was calm and peace and pain,
But then the balance broke in vain.
As mortals and greater beings alike,
fought spirits and flesh in harsh delight..

She called upon the Grave's Wardens, we,
“Such Balance must be maintained, you see.”

And so.. They became her key.

Sub-Missions:
Members of the Grave-Ward may choose to do one of the following tasks in order to uphold the cult’s overall mission. They may claim these titles if the task has been fulfilled at least once. Some members excel in more than one path. Those who climb rank will reach to encompass what a Warden truly does.


+[The Balanced] Maintain the Balance between Life and Death. This Grave-Ward has claimed all titles encompassing the tasks of their ranks and have completed at least 3 tasks within each sub-mission (total of 9). They thrive to maintain the balance of “Deaths” part upon the scale, under the influence of The Grey Lady.

+[The Exorcist] At this stage, the Grave-Ward has a fair reputation within their circle and has the ability to help individuals plagued by magical curses. They use their abilities to purge, release or cure - of or related to death: Curse by Undeath, Vyres, Possessed Spirits, etc. Their profiles- character, or magical, must have a counter of how many people they have dealt with (Player Characters or DM’d NPCs).

+[The Reaper] The Reaper cleanses and aids in clearing remnants that have leaked from the soul rift, or are existing in the world due to other means, that plague the mortal lands and people. Namely possessed souls and spirits (undead, ghosts, wraiths). Return them to the afterlife. (Mobs/Creatures)

+[The Gravekeeper] The Gravekeepers carry a quieter lifestyle than their counterparts. Oftentimes, they are fresh recruits that aim to learn under the influence of the Grey Lady. They choose to learn embalming, the details of a decaying corpse, and/or are keepers of the ever-changing scholarly details of spirits and souls. They might make sure the realm is aware of changes or troubles.
