Overall, the Spirit of Vengeance is considered the strongest of the Spirits of Imarel, if only because of the perpetual acts of aggression being committed across the world and the dire need to see them avenged. His wrath unending and his temperament for the wicked simply non-existent, Mourne has been known to hunt the Guilty for years, even decades to bring them to his brand of dark justice. Appearing much as he did in life, the Spirit of Vengeance always dons a black robe and cloak, both without marking, with chains of an unknown metal bound to his wrists and his waist, though neither place inhibits his movement.
Worshipers of the Spirit of Vengeance come from all walks of life and all manner of background, but all have the single unifying need, purpose for revenge. The priests of Vengeance all don black robes and wear chains at their waist and wrists, symbolizing the binding nature of the seeking of vengeance. Temples dedicated to the Spirit of Vengeance are located in major cities, but are not usually easy to find. Upon locating such a temple, those who go there may bid aid from the clergy there for righteous revenge or may offer the ‘Black Prayer' that has a small chance to gain the attention of a Kal'aire.
While Mourne makes his home in the Shadowlands, there is a place on the mortal plane that ‘touches' the Shadowlands. Some believe this to be a scar of the War of Twilight, others believe it to simply be an anomaly. Called Shadowcove, therein resides an ominous fortress that the Kal'aire congregate and Mourne occasionally resides during times of great strife on Imarel.
