The Assassins of the Black Heart are not well known, as they pose as independent operators rather than as an organization. They are a deeply religious group that worships a personification of Death. Their priests have the capability of both raising and controlling undead creatures, but they are usually loathe to do so; they prefer the dead to rest in sacred silence. If attacked in their strongholds (favored locations include cemeteries, necropoli, and barrow sites), as a last resort they may wake all of the local dead at once and set them on the intruders. These priests are learning the unwritten lore of the Black Heart; they tend the shrines, comfort the faithful, and help to perform the rituals of Death Eternal. Instinct: To assist the assassins in bringing death

• Cast spells to further the cause
• Feign helplessness, then strike
• Heal the faithful, harm the foe
• Sound the alarm
