The Scabrous Society (CBN)

__TOC__
This far-flung organization consists primarily of death priests who are dedicated to the god of Pestilence. Its membership is also open to necromancers (usually members of the Archetype kit). Although nominally dedicated to the unravelling of governments, their true purpose is the complete and utter destruction of all civilization. They are necromantic nihilists who want to bring disease and death to every village, town, city, and kingdom in society.
When a small chapter house secretly opens in a community, its priests and spies first collect as much information as possible about the new location. Then they will then begin an ever-widening campaign of destruction in the town, sowing as much discord as possible in the process, to keep their presence camouflaged. They defoliate fertile pastures, poison livestock, pour pestilent potions into communal wells, and spread gold coins marked with plague curses. The Scabrous Society leaves only deserted ghost towns in their wake, stripped of all their valuables. The chapter house then moves on to a new location and repeats the cycle of destruction.
Leaders of each chapter house communicate regularly with their superiors to report their progress, receive advice, and take new orders. They are well-organized and respond quite violently against those who thwart their plans. Retribution squads, armed with deathdust-envenomed weapons, arrows of harming, and plague bolts (see Chapter Eight for more on these) will quickly make an example of any foolishly heroic opposition.
