Mythos
The church of Vita the White believes that all souls who pass into the afterlife need to be judged by Vita herself, and after judgement has been passed on a soul it is within her grasp. To pull a soul away from The All Mother is an act of Heresy in the eyes of the church, and those who act with necromancy arts, defile Vita's great cycle of life and death.

"Those who take a soul from the Mother, shall be put to the sword, and thus answer to her." - 11.4 Book of life and death.

From a passage in a waterlogged journal preserved by the Elves during the time of madness:

Day Unknown:

''We've been lost in the mountains for weeks now, with the constant barrage of storms in the area its been hard to decern our location. This evening one of our scouts has discovered a cavern. We hope it will bring us shelter.''

The next passage is assumed to have been written the same day, as it lacks a time stamp:

''After taking shelter from the storm, we discovered that the cavern was much deeper than we anticipated. Within it we found something peculiar. On a small alter cut in the stone was a Black Rose in a large glass box, adorned with the symbol of Vita the White etched lightly into the glass. The rose itself seemed to float slightly above the bottom of the box. Written on the altar were these words in the old tongue: ''

''"Forget this place, for it is not your mission to remove the sacred rose it from its sanctuary. Those who seek to master life and death need follow another, for these things should remain in harmonious balance." ''

''One of the men in my charge wanted to open the box. Telling of the unimaginable power that could be inside. We were forced to restrain him. After much debate we sealed the cavern with a great stone, there is no way to know if great evil or great good would come from the rose. I hope to never find out.''
