Oreth Mortel is the only remaining Cardinal of the Clerics of Chavus, a long diminished, abolished sect that followed the teachings of Chavus down a dark and destructive path. Many lives were lost to the Clerics of Chavus whose main belief was that the only way to truly be one with Him was to offer the soul of another in penance. Little is known about their practices in the current era but generally wherever the Cardinal and his followers are, death follows. Oreth was last seen on the outskirts of the city, where an old burnt out church is situated.
