Oath of the Keepers
The set of oaths for the Keepers of the Dead of Necrom

The Keepers of the Dead, the religious order composed of dedicated monks who administer to and maintain the Necrom Necropolis, utilize a towering list of mandates, rituals, and statutes in the course of their work. It all begins, however, with the oath each keeper takes when inducted into service.

None shall disturb the rest of the ancestor spirits.

All these duties I swear to uphold upon the life I live and the one I shall inhabit thereafter.
