8.20 Infernals

Before their reformation into The Carnifex, the Infernals called the Shadow Keep, nestled deep in the windy peaks of the Tarean Mountains, home. Within its halls, the Infernals trained and honed their abilities, ever ready to battle the forces of Light and Life. Only the most devout among Shieldbearers and Squires rose to become the embodiment of the Infernal lifestyle, for the path of an Infernal was difficult and long.
 
Infernals were knights of Death and Darkness, masters of skills both martial and magical. Their knowledge of Chivalry allowed them to use a wide variety of weapons and tactics in order to subdue their foes with strength of arms. Forging allowed the knights to create weapons and armour of the utmost quality, not only for themselves but also to equip the legions of darkness. Finally an Infernal used his knowledge of Necromancy to study the arts of Death and Decay, using them to purge the weak and misguided from the land.
 
As knights, the Infernals valued Strength, Fealty and Slaughter, and were always striving to achieve perfection, destruction and discipline in their daily pursuits. 

In the year 343 of the Midnight Age, the sect of the Infernals was dissolved. Necromancy, Forging, and Chivalry were abandoned in favor of Savagery, Deathlore, and the art of Warhounds, and the Knights of the Shadow Keep took on a new name: The Carnifex.
