“Benedizioni Alla Tomba” (Blessings To the Grave)

A flock of ravens fly overhead, escaping the carnage below. Blood rushes to your ears as you finally duck behind a tree to take a breath, gasping as your chest aches with each inhale. The groans of the Undead and the screams of those who weren’t quite fast enough echo in the air. You were warned, like everyone else, but it still happened.

It had been brewing for months; numerous Mortis procedures and unchecked Psionic activity that they had warned about finally culminated into this cacophony of Death. Bloodied tools rushing to form the next Necrology item, Strains delving under to get information, and the crumbling foundation are all you remember now; your hand draws up to your aching chest, finally looking down at the blood before your consciousness fades and body sinks.

The grasp of the Mortis isn’t unfamiliar, but something feels different… fuller. In a brief moment of clarity you think you see it: a flash of purple and eyes watching.

“We can’t disrupt the Cycle to prevent all loss, but we can usher it as peacefully as possible”

The Molon Collective is a haven for those exiled; loners, misfits, psions, and odd ones out have all found their home here. The Family occupies itself with matters of the Mortis Amaranthine, acting as stewards of the Mortis driven to protect and keep it in balance. Many of its members are psionic, with deep connections to Requiem’s Mortis Amaranthine.

Organization

The Molon Collective operates as a monarchy, with the current Family head ruling and changing structure as she sees fit. Under Nyathera, the Collective operates strictly following her word.

History

The Collective is one of the youngest Families in Requiem, only having surfaced a few years ago with the Treaty of the Fold. It was almost as if the entire Collective had manifested itself, dozens of psions strong, overnight, with Keres Molon at the helm.

Keres became a popular face in Requiem, highly regarded for her knowledge and grace along with her bodyguard Ezra. Mere months before Honors Fall ‘24, Keres entered the town's crumbling, diseased Morgue and met her final death in a final act to preserve the local Mortis. Her Zed, the Banshee of Requiem, haunted the town a few months afterwards until she was finally laid to rest by the residents and her surviving Family.

In the wake of this tragedy, leadership of the Family fell to the named successor, Nyathera, who now leads the Collective in a new era. In the short time following, the Collective maintained their Family status, organized the building of a new Morgue, assisted in research affecting the local Mortis, conducted and oversaw many Mortis procedures. The Family continues to grow, looking to continue balancing the whims of the town and the inevitability of the Infection cycle.
