Grey Society

The Grey Society is a secretive organization operating out of the ancient city of Drakonheim whose focus is the generally detested practice of necromancy used for good or otherwise neutral agendas. This ambiguity presents a moral grey area painting the organization as neither fully good nor evil and is reflected in its name.

Although the society places its origin in the old Cevali Empire, the current group is but a fragment of its former glory. Just as Cevali itself fell, so too did the secret societies it hid. The Grey Society declined until only one branch remained, housed in Drakonheim. They have operated in secret for over a thousand years, pouring over ancient texts and preforming dark rituals on the night of a new moon. They have mastered animating skeletons and zombies and strive for higher necromantic arts.

Operation and Reach
Members

The Grey Society is made up of the rich, well connected, influential, and otherwise notable faces in Drakonheim. Their association to the society is kept under strict secrecy as they may become potential targets to the enemies of the organization or a liability. Politicians in particular fear their involvement with what many consider to be a dark art may hurt their reputation.

The society is currently headed by the current mayor's aide and advisory council member Lady Nalyka Saldor, while recruiters like Ober the Reader of the Sage's Temple are responsible for keeping an eye out for potential members and screening them for entrance into the society. Notable members include:
 * Lady Nalyka Saldor
 * Ober the Reader
 * Tyrus the Pale
 * Kaylnn

History
During the height of the Cevali Empire, a hundred secret societies operated behind the scenes. Many relatively harmless organizations sought only to bring extra coin to their members. A few had darker purposes, dedicated to demon worship or human sacrifice. The Grey Society lay somewhere in between the two. The Society was a gathering place for necromancers, but these were not worshipers of a dark god of death and decay. Rather, they were motivated by intellectual curiosity, and saw the reanimation of the dead as the ultimate art. At its peek, the Grey Society had member halls in nearly every city in the Empire.
