Zurrernorn
ズーラーノーン
World & HistoryOrganizations
An evil secret society headed by a powerful leader and made up of the Twelve Executives and their pupils; most members are magic casters who manipulate death, and it is considered an enemy by all neighboring nations.
- The leader and the Twelve Executives far surpass ordinary adventurers; Clementine is stronger than Gazef, yet three of the High Disciples can still beat her
- About 20 years ago it occupied certain ruins to conduct horrific experiments and destroyed a small city
- "Death Spiral": a ritual that exploits the way gathered undead give rise to stronger undead, letting the caster seal negative energy within themselves and become a powerful undead; it began about 200 years ago as a failed ritual born of someone's mistaken explanation
- Khajiit spent five years preparing in E-Rantel's cemetery and activated it with Clementine, but was defeated by Momon
- In the Web novel it had a subordinate organization in the Imperial capital Arwintar and tried to manipulate Imperial nobles
- Among the Twelve Executives Khajiit is weaker than Clementine, with only about a 30% chance of winning even with items (Vol. 2 p. 192); charging the Orb of Death for 4 months lets him summon a Skeletal Dragon, or about 2 months with his disciples' help (Arcadia reply to comments)
- In the Web novel the Twelve Executives are changed to "ten executives"; after Ainz took over the subordinate organization in the Imperial capital, the "Evil God Cult," Clementine betrayed it and fled with a mummy-like man
- The Theocracy's leadership thought the former Black Scripture 9th Seat "Windstride" (Clementine) might know about a certain "former cardinal," and sources speculate that this figure is connected to Zurrernorn (Vol. 10 p. 250)
Notes
The action game OVERLORD: ESCAPE FROM NAZARICK reveals the leader is a Night Lich (game setting); some readers also speculate the Night Lich who appeared in Inveria in the bonus novel The Vampire Princess of the Lost Country is the leader (unverified).
