 The priests of Morr are by nature not a violent creed.
However, the call to arms to cleanse the city of Mordhiem of undead
has had the unexpected effect that a great many priests have had their
first experience of inflicting death upon living things.
Most are able to accept this responsibility as a burden, a necessary evil
to do their good work. Some however have not been able to reconcile
`the violence with their beliefs and have either found death in the
damned city or abandoned their cause and fled in shame.
` There are tales, however, of one who has embraced his new role as a killer.
Becoming obsessed with ensuring souls pass to Morr’s realm as swiftly as possible,
` he has become a dark executioner, passing his judgement of death on any who is unworthy in the eyes of
Morr. Who is worthy or unworthy has proven impossible to determine, and the Dark Headsman has been seen
terrorising the city streets, wreaking death indiscriminately, bringing terror even to the children of darkness. The
only faction seemingly safe from its attention are the Cult of Morr, who are able to persuade the headsman to escort
their war parties, in exchange for a generous donation to the temple.
Appearing as the very image of Morr, the Headsman is believed to be more spirit than man (although the
cult knows better than this.) The Headsman’s panoply gives him a supernatural appearance and makes it
hard to determine where his real flesh lies.
