The Duskbrothers are a group dedicated to Death.  They hold death as sacred and believe that Immortality is the greatest of sins.  Undeath is a punishment that they give out to offenders of their Goddess.  The brotherhood is a loosely organized group of like minded individuals.  Their initiation rituals are a closely guarded secret.  Their membership are elusive.  Those who are aware of the Duskbrothers suspect that at least one of their members exist in each town and hamlet.

No stronghold held by their power is known.  There is no known leader.  To the outside world, they just appear to be a rumor.  Those who are lucky enough to gain membership are forever sworn to keep the secrets of the organization.  How these individuals identify themselves and others of their order is unknown.  They are a true enigma.

Those who are aware of the Duskbrothers see them as a reclusive group of individuals who share knowledge and resources.  At first glance, this seems to be harmless.  In reality, they are much more.  The Duskbrothers are an organization dedicated to the truth of life and death.  They believe in the sanctity of the great cycle and believe that death is the ultimate consummation of life.  Many of the members of this exclusive group have no idea of the scope of the organization.  Most believe that they are part of a small group since they have contact with few of their members.  The reality is much different.

Duskbrothers are organized into three groups.  The Order of Dust is the priesthood dedicated to Kalivasha.  The Order of Ash is the militant enforcers of Kalivasha's will.  The remainder of the Duskbrothers are simple commoners and aristocrats who live their lives and devote their secret heart to Kalivasha's will.  This last group is made up of anyone who is a trusted friend of a Duskbrother.  Most of them never know more than 4 or 5 others in the group.  They never congregate into large groups.  Many of them worship at other temples and revere other deities such as Pelor in their everyday lives.  Individual Duskbrothers share their knowledge with others and the network of information grows and spreads.  All attempts to infiltrate this group has failed.  Spies within their group have always met with death.  Apparently, their goddess is very unforgiving.
