Misericorde (named after the kind of dagger used for mercy strokes and euthanasia) is a Nerullan terrorist cult that opposes the use of resurrection and other life-extending magics. Their infamous acts include catastrophically sabotaging the diamond trade, massacring hospices full of terminal patients, and destroying groundbreaking research into restorative magics.
At least as infamous as their public acts of mayhem is one of Misericorde's main sources of funding: The organization boasts some of the foremost experts in silent, painless, and most of all permanent deaths. Misericorde has few scruples about selling the skills of elite assassins specializing in the execution of high profile targets—and keeping them dead—to the highest bidder. After all, in the eyes of Misericorde, all who seek to evade the reaper are guilty. This lucrative service also means that the organization attracts some members who are simply interested in a career as hitmen rather than true Nerullan faithful.
Some rumors even say that the Maruts are the inventions of Misericorde artificers, but this is often dismissed as an urban legend. Surely the organization's history doesn't go back that far... does it?
