The Dustmen

The Dustmen of Elmbruk are a small order of thinkers who have united in their philosophical interests. Their creed is, "We’re all dead - some more so than others. So, we explore our current state with patience, purge our passion, and ascend toward the purity of True Death."

The Dustmen are an ascetic, nihilistic group who care only to further their understanding of death. Some in the group see this endeavor as one for all to come together and achieve, while others believe that all must come to understanding on a purely individual level. Eitherway, the Dustmen are responsible for the mortuary services within Elmbruk, when they are not continuing their philosophical ponderings.

Beyonders
The Beyonders are a subsect of the Dustmen. Although most dustmen care only about discovering the truths of deaths, the Beyonders believe in something beyond death. Beyonders believe that once they achieve True Death, another stage of True Life must follow. Most Dustmen care little for the Beyonders and their beliefs, as they care little for anything, but small tensions arise from their coexistence.
