"There is, as in all of nature, a natural order to things. Then again, waste not!" -Shai Gael, 'Reaper of the Many'
The vodou maester is a disciplined master of the scythe as well as an expert on the delicate line that borders mortality before death. She holds the scythe as the most sacred of weapons as the scythe alone provides the most pure and clean passage from life unto death. The vodou master typically reigns from a wild and free background. More in touch with nature, she respects the cycle of life and death. With that, the vodou master is taught the art of respectfully severing the soul from a creature's body and using that soul to power her spells.
BECOMING A VODOU MAESTER
A vodou maester needs to spend years understanding the nature of death and souls. This respect for nature typically comes from barbaric training or druidic initiation. However, a vodou maester is not all muscle and brawn. Most vodou maesters truly come into their own after they study as clerics under the praise of Nerull.
