Places of Worship of the Order
The Shrine of Skraag (Cathedral-Crossroads)
Located near to the Crossroads Inn, within the Cathedral, this is currently the most common place to see Skraag worshippers gathering. In the open, but still a focal point for his power, it is a graveyard of pillars, upon which are the heads of the undead.
The Necromancer's Skull (Dawnshard)
A large green skull, carved into a cliffside upon the islands of Dawnshard. INside is an extensive facility, containing facilities for study, residences and multiple shrines. Open to the public for visit, to learn more of Skraag, it is currently the home to the Order of Undeath.

Holy Items of the Doctrine
The Skulls of Skraag
Carved or smelted skulls, coloured black or green, used as holy symbols for his worship and function as small shrines to be used to pray to whenever away from a proper shrine or temple. Generally made of obsidian, ebony or a painted metal.
Prospective members of the Order are gifted with a carved ebony skull on a leather string.
For Acolytes the skull is made of a black-stained/painted metal and the chain replaced with a more permanent iron chain.
For the Priests, the skull is finally made of obsidian. The chain becomes gold.
The Shattered Necromancer's Staff
Belonging to a necromancer from before the moon broke, it is still believed by the Order to have been blessed by some holy divinity, for no necromancer may use such magic without Skraag's permission. Sundered in two, is a normal wooden shaft with a silver skull fixed on the top.
The Holy Text of Undeath
Written by the Greyling as a way of opening the true path of worship to lesser minds, the Holy Text is a collection of Hymns, Prayers and possible Rituals to praise and thank Skraag for his benevolence. There is currently only one copy, it having to be handwritten. It also contains his Doctrine, Virtues and Prophecy.
Dorothy Plug's Necklace
A green-tinted glass skull hangs from a heavy silver chain. This necklace was once owned by Dorothy Plug, Follower of Skraag. She met with him multiple times and was also the follower who received his prophecy and told the Greyling it's words.
Death is
Unnecessary
(Everything but Skraag's doctrine is known only to members. The Shrine of Skraag is obviously known by all.)
