The Mortal Way is a loose fellowship of humanoids united by the belief that the Moroi are abominations of their former selves. While they do not actively hunt the creatures, they operate with a policy of immediate destruction upon any encounter. Every member is trained to fight, and the entire encampment is prepared to mobilize instantly when a Moroi or other threat emerges.
The group resides in a militant-style encampment situated within ancient ruins known as The Mortal Way Hold. At its helm is Sir Marcus Rex, a silver-haired elf paladin and the stern proprietor of the Rising Sun Tavern. From this base, he leads his followers with an uncompromising mandate: to eradicate all Moroi on sight.
Key Characteristics of The Mortal Way:
* Core Philosophy: They view the Moroi as corrupted perversions of life that must be purged.
* Strategic Stance: Rather than conducting active patrols, they maintain a defensive, militant posture, ready to strike should a threat cross their path.
* Command Structure: The organization is centralized around Sir Marcus Rex, whose dual role as a paladin and tavern keeper allows him to monitor local goings-on while maintaining a fortress-like hub for the cause.
* Primary Stronghold: The Mortal Way Hold, an encampment built into old ruins, serves as the operational headquarters for their activities.
