UNDYING
FLAGELLANT
Unable to fully reach true devotion,
and resultantly undeserving of entry to the
Kingdom, the Brotherhood of the Holy Scourge
divined a method of self abuse that would cleanse
them of sin, but send them into a state of half
death. Wandering the land and collecting alms,
the undying monks seek worthiness through their
self debasement. They deceive themselves with
notions of piety, but secretly derive pleasure
through their pain. This sin of pleasure negates
their purpose, and their path has cost them
their mortality, binding them to the earth,
and robbing them of any chance to die and ascend.
