Priests of Rathma

The Priests of Rathma are a cult that feature in Diablo.

History

The Priests of Rathma were a religious order of necromancers that formed on Sanctuary. Their origins were tied to the creation of the world and the birth of the Nephalem who came to inhabit it. In this time, Rathma was born who was the son of the Angel Inarius and the Demoness Lilith where he sought to maintain the Balance by hiding Sanctuary from both the High Heavens and Burning Hells. He came to take on an apprentice name Mendeln ul-Diomed who became a master necromancer and in turn founded the Priests of Rathma. Mendeln began to teach others his skills where he imparted his understanding of the Balance to them whilst recording his knowledge in the Books of Kalan. These early priests then came to establish their headquarters in the east where they founded it deep in the jungles of Kehjistan. When their training was complete, these early followers ventured out into the world where they sought out places where the Balance was disrupted and set about working to restore it. In time, these students would continue the tradition of finding and taking apprentices of their own thus expanding the ranks of the Priests of Rathma.

• Master Necromancer :

Priests of Rathma tended to avoid cities as the masses seldom took kindly to their presence.

Since the first days of their order, they came to collect instruments of power from a variety of sources.

Their home was deep within he jungles of Kehjistan where they trained to preserve the delicate balance between the forces of life and death. The Necropolis served as their headquarters which was a vast underground city whose location was particularly secluded.
