The Occult are followers of forbidden knowledge, members of secret circles that exist beyond temples, guilds, and laws. They believe that true power does not come from gods or steel, but from understanding what lies hidden between worlds.
Their crow-like masks, shaped to resemble elongated beaks, are ritual visors rather than full helmets. Covering only part of the face, they symbolize the watcher — one who observes truths others refuse to see. Beneath the mask, the wearer remains human, a reminder that forbidden knowledge is carried by mortal minds.
Occult robes are designed for concealment and ritual alike. The female wears a long scarf draped below the shoulders and held at the elbows, allowing free movement of the arms while maintaining symbolic restraint. The male bears heavier mantles, signifying guardianship over ancient rites and secrets.
Glowing sigils worn on their chests are said to bind the wearer to ancient covenants, marking those who have sworn never to reveal what they have learned. Smoke and shadow follow them wherever they walk, as if reality itself recoils from their presence.
Legends say that the Occult do not seek domination — only understanding. Yet many who crossed their path learned too late that knowledge, once uncovered, can be as dangerous as any blade.
