Soul Collecters
The Soul Collector stood in Jason's doorway, a row of fanged teeth in a cruel smile from under his leather hood. "You must understand, good sir. The luxury our lord provides his living subjects is second to none. However, that care is expensive, and taxes must be high. Since you cannot reach your work quotas, we can extract payment in another way." The creature said, voice like gravel.
Jason holding up his hands, stammered "Sire, please I've been injuries I can get the money and tools i promise." He never thought it would happen to him. How could it? He had always paid on time. That damned apprentice should be the one being sold.
The creatures smiled widend, as he reached for something behind his back. "I apologize my good smith, but rules are rules. No exceptions. Bring me your payment, or become payment. Those are your options." Jason paled, how could he choose. The creatures would obviously not take him, because of his broken arms, but one of his children? How could a father choose. He only had two, his brave boy and his darling daughter. Jason felt like a fool for not having more, maybe he would have been lucky and sired an invalid. Chiding himself didn't change the fact that he had to give them one.
He felt his brain detach, growing cold and calculating. A process that the people of Molosik had become accustom to, with death waiting at the slightest mistake. His son was older, almost a man, and ready to take on the forge. He had spent years training that lad to become a good smith, and take over the shop. His daughter however, she was his joy. She had been raised a scribe like her mother, but that was never going to be a good source of income. Logicality he knew which one he had to choose. With a solem step to the side, he said "The girl." The beast walked right past him, and he heard a slash, a scream, and then thump. His wife began to wail, and his son screamed curses. Gods above, what have i done?
Structure
The Soul collecters are ran by the Mortican, Mol's right hand mage. The necromancer manages three departments. Collections, Undertakers, and Enforcment.
Collections are made up of soulless beings that had been deemed to useful to kill. They act as the regular officers, detectives, and commanders for every day situations. They often patrol the streets or collect debts from small time offenders.
Undertakers are part executioners par medical examiner part necromancer. They kill, prepare and re animate collected debts (people), and implement them in their lord's city.
Enforcement is the term for the Undead garrison of the city. They are directly controlled by the Mortician, and are used for rebellion suppression, and common security.
"Souls are cheap, and Life is expensive."
