Brotherhood of Austeres

The Brotherhood of Austeres was a monotheistic and isolationist religion that eventually gave rise to Necroism and thusly the Necromonger Empire.

History
They believed that all other known religions were too iconic, their histories too soaked in blood, their teachings too dogmatic and without room for personal expression.

The Austeres were monotheistic and isolationist. They sought distance from the other worlds of man that they found so corrupting. Though they numbered only in the thousands, the Austeres were strong in their belief that theirs would prove to be the one true faith.

Traveling long in ships with conventional drives, they lost many of their numbers to the rigors of the journey. But ultimately, the Austeres made planetfall and colonized a world they named Asylum.
