ngarjeck

The Ngarjeck were once a tribe of themselves. However, as time passed and they saw that many other tribes were parting with righteous tradition, and took it upon themselves to judge the unrighteous, to cleanse them, installing righteous leaders among the tribes. Eventually, their influence spread, till it covered all the tribes.

The Ngarjeck is a cross-tribal order, the only thing that truly connects all the tribes of the Crondin. Their responsibility is to ensure that tradition, and therefore law and order, in kept by the tribes. Individuals who grossly violate tradition will be punished accordingly, with reciprocal punishment (ie, eye for an eye). A tribe that violates tradition and upsets the balance is thus targeted by the Ngarjeck, and kill the men of the tribe, and take the women and children as their own, thus they become part of the Ngarjeck. Most tribes will hold great contests among their people, both male and female. The contests are based on physical, intellectual, and moral fortitude. Those who win such contests are welcomed into the Ngarjeck, thus solidifying the tribes commitment to tradition, and thus the Ngarjeck.

Knowing that many offenses are committed in the dark, the Ngarjeck are constantly patrolling, often in secret, not announcing their presence to anyone, but instead watching in secret, waiting for the unwary to carelessly offend, and then bring swift judgement upon them.

After ruling the Crondins for centuries and falling into decadence, they are overthrown by their own charges. In the aftermath, they reform…

A new leader arose, and taught them all what they needed to do and how they would accomplish this task. Saying that the name of the Ngarjeck was tainted, he decreed that they would no longer answer to it. He came up with a new name, one that in the Crondin tongue is completely unpronounceable to outsiders, but when translated it comes out to “The Legion of Shadows”. This new leader is simply known as:

The Ghul.

As years go by many old members pass, and new members come, but the Ghul remains. Some believe that he has tapped into some power of the Earth that gives him virtual immortality. Others believe that it is simply different men who take over from the original Ghul and keep his name, putting up an air of continuity across the years. Whatever is the case, those few who know of the Ghul know he is someone to be feared, for he carries the power to bring entire cities to their knees without them even knowing that he is behind it.
