Ahn’Ghor

Ahn’Ghor is an order of Ghor hunters who according to their own history was created in the age of darkness by Deirah, daughter of the elven priestess Aurelia. Aurelia was one of the first Ghor hunters who died in a fighter against a very powerful minion of Ghor named Ossar, creating the Ossar crater when it died. Deirah then started the order to honor her mother and to protect her siblings against the Ghor attacks. Deirah converted to become a follower of Envylon when the gods of the New Faiths arrived.

Ahn’Ghor has a very strong connection to Envylon. Though the order isn’t a priesthood of Envylon or has any paladins of Envylon the fast majority of Ahn’Ghor follow Envylon. It is a highly structured organization known for its discipline and swift action against any Ghor minion. Ahn’Ghor mostly are seen as the elite when it comes to Ghor hunters. They are trained by the most skilled elven masters and there is a very strict selection process when someone wants to become an Ahn’Ghor.

Recruitment and Training

Ahn’Ghor recruits children from a very young age that show potential in certain fields. The family is then paid for the child to spend the rest of his or her life in service of the Ahn’Ghor. On top of the initial payment the family is looked after as long as they live regardless what position within the order the child will have. Children who turn out to be less talented then they seemed when they were recruited are still employed within the Ahn’Ghor. Sometimes it’s administrative positions, or teaching positions or other positions within the order.

Specializations

Ghor Hunter

Ghor hunters is one of the most common and well known specializations of the Ahn’Ghor. The hunters are especially trained to locate, track and kills Ghor minions.

Summoners

Summoners are also trained in the order of Ahn’Ghor. But their specialization and focus lies more on banishing Ghor minions that are too powerful to just kill. Ahn’Ghor summoners will seldom summon the creatures they have banished to use them as companions in a fight. If they do it will most likely be a creature they banished that isn’t a Ghor minion at all. Instead the only reason they would have for ever summoning a creature they banished is when the order has found a way to kill it.

Medics

Ahn’Ghor have their own medics especially trained to see the first signs of corruption and trying to cleanse that. They also specialize in wounds that Ghor Hunters typically get and are therefore in a way a bit more narrowly trained then a common medic. Yet they have superior knowledge when it comes corruption and certain types of diseases and poisons.

Seers

Seers are the least known group of the Ahn’Ghor order. This is mainly because a person who possesses the gift of sight is rare on its own. They are highly sought after and the Ahn’Ghor are giving out substantial rewards for finding a seer. Seers can have visions and the Ahn’Ghor believe they can train a seer to hone in on visions specific to Ghor corruption. Seers can therefore predict where and when Ghor attacks might occur. Most of the study of a seer goes into honing this ability and so they are also the most vulnerable of the order. Since a typical seer possesses little to no offensive abilities they need to be protected at all costs and are easiest to kill if a Ghor minion would manage to get close to a seer.
