 ==[[Intellectuals' Conspiracy]]==
-Although I scarcely like to mention this absurd theory and propagate it even further, I feel I must for the sake of academic completeness. There are those who belive in something known as the [[Intellectuals’ Conspiracy]], a gigantic plot orchestrated by the Deathood and involving such organizations as the [[Bureau of Forgotten Knowledge]], the [[Odlucian Library]], the [[Council for Quezlarian Research]], the [[Brothers of the Lantern]], and basically every other organization in Ghyll to some degree or another. Some, such as [[Bobby Shwarmph]], suggest that [[Alezanians]] created the Deathood and still run it from some alternate [[orthogonality]], although [[Bobby Shwarmph|Shwarmph]] has suggested a connection to the [[Alezanians]] in so many instances that anything he says about them has, how shall I put it, a certain lack of credulity. Then again, many belivers in the conspiracy suggest that the Deathood is being run by some other, even shadier group, and there are even some who suggest that this even shadier group is being run by yet another, deeper group. I have yet to hear claims that this deeper group is also being run by someone in the even deeperer shadows, but I have no doubt that they exist.

+==[[Black Hall]]==
-Almost nothing is known about the '''Deathood''', and this is because they censor any attempts to make publicly available what few facts have been revealed about their nature and purpose. Many people haven’t even heard of them at all. They are some sort of secret organization, and they are often associated with evil, although they are so incredibly secretive that nobody is exactly sure what is evil about them. It is also assumed that they have arcane powers, although this has not been demonstrated in a tangible way.
+==[[Intellectuals' Conspiracy]]==
-==[[Black Hall|BLACK HALL]]==
+==The Deathood in History==
-What IS known is that the Deathood were involved in the construction and protection of the [[Odlucian Library|Odlucian Library’s]] [[Black Hall]], and guard it to this day. Their methods of protecting it are completely unknown as most people are afraid to enter the Hall even on legitamite business, much less in a way that would set off the security. The [[Odlucian Library|Library]] has done much to promote the idea that the Deathood possess terrible powers. This is a surprisingly open and public action for the Deathood to undertake – before it happened, most of the few people who had heard of the Deathood did not belive that they even existed. The Deathood continue to work for the [[Odlucian Library|library]] by searching out new books to add to the [[Black Hall]] collection, and many people belive that the reason the Deathood is willing to work with the [[Odlucian Library|Library]] is that it gives them the opportunity to censor works that may contain information about them.
+Surprisingly enough, there have been many remnants of ancient culture that seem to reference the Deathood in some way or another, although there is nothing so blatant that it is inarguable. Scholars and [[Bobby Shwarmph|crackpots]] alike have suggested that several phrases have been Deathood codewords through the centuries, assuming  they really have existed that long – most predominantly, the phrase “Oomis upon Usal”, thought to reference a location once used as the Deathood’s main headquarters, and the word “Smuffle”. Certain visual motifs supposedly represent the Deathood as well, most notably the Thrice Woven Circle. Conspiracy theorists would have you believe that this is what is depicted on the back of the [[Quezlarian Ooo]], although it is in fact the crest of the [[Amphitheatre aristocracy]]. There is also some supposed connection between the Deathood and the [[vorpcara]], although I could not find the exact nature of this connection in my research – it is most likely a load of bunk.

-Although I scarcely like to mention this absurd theory and propagate it even further, I feel I must for the sake of academic completeness. There are those who belive in something known as the Intellectuals’ Conspiracy, a gigantic plot orchestrated by the Deathood and involving such organizations as the [[Bureau of Forgotten Knowledge]], the [[Odlucian Library]], the [[Council for Quezlarian Research]], the [[Brothers of the Lantern]], and basically every other organization in Ghyll to some degree or another.

I have yet to hear claims that this deeper group is also being run by someone in the even deeperer shadows, but I have no doubt that they exist.
+One of the things we know for sure about the Deathood is that they are dark-side [[Whingelism|whingelists]] chiefly because they openly admitted it while constructing the [[Black Hall]]. They remain one of the most prominent examples of such practices to this day. Of course, so little is known that this doesn’t actually tell us anything about said practices, but at least whenever anyone asks “but who, when it comes down to it, DOES practice dark-side whingelism?” we can point our fingers and say “They do.”

+The Deathood members usually wear dark indigo hooded robes, which conceal the face entirely. Despite this fact, they also wear black-jewled masks under their hoods. We know this as a fact because one of them acidentally dropped their mask during the construction of [[Black Hall]]. It was recovered by one Fermous Ibb, father of [[Morphous Ibb]], who donated it to a nearby museum where it stood on prominent display for exactly two days before vanishing mysteriously.
