===Tashigo and the Necrosavants===

Candleflies were a gift to the mothkin from the fey queen Cimre, a simple insect species that produced light to reflect the light of the moon. They were quickly discovered to have many applications, from decoration to illumination to chemical powders. However, this boon came with a cost: candleflies fed exclusively on dead flesh.

Tanji asked of Cimre how they would sustain them, and she delivered the Death-Head mark, a white skull found on the back of some mothkin upon their rebirth. Cimre named them the Necrosavants, and they were tasked with collecting the bodies of the dead and harvesting them for the candleflies. 

Three years later, a Necrosavant named Tashigo found a new use for the candleflies: when their larvae infested a dead corpse, necromantic energies would be exuded. Tashigo attempted to channel this power, and the infested corpses rose, undead husks illuminated by the haunting light of the candleflies from within. Tashigo could not control them, and a host of the creatures ran through Tanjian, but they were finally repelled and Tashigo was slain.

Since then, the mark of the Death-Head condemns a mothkin to a life as a Necrosavant, respected for their invaluable service but avoided and feared for the prospect of the dark energies that they encounter. Many live as recluses, tending the candleflies and then delivering them once they reach maturity, to return again to their den of death and growth.

From this point the paths of the mothkin diverge.
