__TOC__


A faction of Viamontian origin loyal to the king of Viamont. On Dereth the Rossu Morta are the secret spies and assassins loyal to King [[Varicci di Corcosi II]] and the Viamontian Loyalists of [[Sanamar]]. The Order was led by [[Count Dardante]], but his attempt to gain control of [[Grael]] failed and Dardante was turned into a Shadow. In the rollout article for the [[Shattering the Dark]] event, [[Count Ranarre]] was made new Grand Master of the Ordina Rossu Morta by King Varicci.
Some [[NPCs]] can be readily identified by the [[tabard]] they wear.

A human faction introduced in [[The Beast With Many Heads]]. Little is known about them. [[Ulberan]] may be the leader of this group, or he may just be a higher ranking officer. The Shroud Cabal seems to be interested in Geomancy and the Ley Lines. Based on the texts from the [[Northern Shroud Cabal|Northern]] and [[Southern Shroud Cabal|Southern]] Shroud Cabal quests, the uniforms of the group, and the name ''Shroud'' Cabal, it appears that the group may serve a faction of the Virindi.
