(organization) Yodhsunala
YOHD-soo-NAH-lah
Sukara (not common information outside of Ashdod and religious circles)

The Yodhsunala - Daughters of Sunala - are raised to serve the Temples of Sunala. They are all, to a certain degree, priestesses of Sunala, though only some of them are directly involved in the rituals of worship of the Death Goddess. The Yodhsunala are best known for those in their number proficient in the arts of assassination by various means, sometimes even twisted usage of spells of the Sphere of Life, used in ways that would most certainly bring disapproval from the College Esoterica - though the status of the Yodhsunala as a priesthood of Babel spares them from the College's usual persecution of so-called "hedge wizards" that operate outside the Mages' Guild.

It is the obligation of any Yodhsunala that she die in the proper manner, in the course of carrying out the will of Sunala. To die of old age or accident is unbearable, and the fate of most Yodhsunala is to take their own lives, or die at the hands of another.

Although it might seem logical to presume that a Death Goddess would be associated with the undead, that is not the case with Sunala - Necromancy is not among the arts practiced by the Yodhsunala. As brutal as it may seem when they sacrifice on the altar, and then push the body to tumble down the steps of one of Sunala's stepped-pyramid temples, they have a certain code of reverent treatment (after a fashion) of the dead ... unless the dead are worthy of particular disgrace due to their actions in life. Cremation of bodies is unthinkable, and animation of them is the worst form of blasphemy - to attempt to steal from Sunala what is, to their minds, rightly hers.
