title: Charnel Whispers: Mastery of Necromancy, Death & Undeath
author: Somnus Dreadwood
description: Under a moniker paying homage to Roman ancestry and a beloved location where his ritual work was carried out, Somnus Dreadwood is the Ascended Grandmaster of the Maergzjiran Cabal and has equally studied and practiced the occult arts for over 20 years. His spiritual foci include necromancy, demonic invocation, shadowmancy, hexcraft, oneiromancy and divination. Through his years of work within the Cabal, Somnus has introduced many Disciples both within and without the Cabal to a spiritual system focused on apotheosis and self-mastery while further denying the false teachings, misinformation and narrow scope of the Judeo-Christian-Islamic inspired systems so commonly found in the occult.

  will never end.
  
  
  How many years have passed since I’ve been buried here? One, two, ten? Or a
  hundred?
  
  
  Time itself has blurred into total dusky looming. A bloody and merciless one.
  
  
  All my thoughts have been mixed up since I’ve been immured in this stone
  coffin. Without any possibility of escape. Without any chance for freedom.
  
  
  I feel endless agony under the teeny-weeny teeth of ghostly beasts that were
  ripping, shredding, and tearing my immortal flesh like small daggers. Over and
  over again… They’re driving me crasy.
  
  
  But I’ll find a way out, or I’m not Reive Eridanus Castro-Firel. And then, I
