Djazzari

The Djazzari are a group of religious zealots who worship Djazzar -- the Southrun god known as the butchcr -- the culler of life. Many Southruners believe that no man can die unless his life has reached the expiration date given by the gods for that individual. 

The Djazzari help the terminally ill and despondent into death by the administration of various drugs and poisons. This they only do after receiving the sanction of their divine oracle. They also go forth into the world, looking to cull those whose expirations have come and gone, unrecognized. To that end, for a generous donation they can be hired to turn their attention to one individual in particular. If the oracle sanctions it, the murder is a sign that the intended victim had already lived beyond their intended expiration date. In the mind of the Djazzari t becomes their duty to help that individual find their quickest death.

Since they believe that death is foretold, the Djazzari do not believe that anyone can find it sooner than they should. For that reason, they utterly reject medicine or healing in any fashion, other than the passage of time. 

Notwithstanding their rejection of medicinal enchantments, their sect is widely known for its various potions. Chief among these are the legendary potions of sustenance, which are used by its assassins as they go out looking for those who were already supposed to be dead. By vow the Djazzari can neither eat nor drink until their target is helped into death. Sometimes the sect sells its potions, but only at great price.
