The Militant Order of Barhah is an aggressive, highly co-ordinated zombie group. They are proud Barhah Fundamentalists whose mission is to bring sweet, shambling unlife to all breathing beings, so that they can know the joy of True Barhah.

History
|
|
The Militant Order of Barhah was founded by what may or may not be the original membership of the Barhah Brigade (whose existence is still unproven). These zombies believe they have come to achieve a deeper understanding of the ideals of both the metaphysical state and the fellowship of the unliving, or Barhah. They found that cleaving to True Barhah (a term which they coined in order to further separate themselves from what they feel are lesser understandings of Barhah) place them in conflict with modern interpretations of zombie life. As such, to prove the strength of True Barhah, the Prophet Jorm and his Inquisitors put out an open call:
"Join the Militant Order of Barhah and learn once again
what it means to shout BARHAH into the lifeless night."
...and the zombies came.

Structure
|
|
The Militant Order of Barhah is divided into three divisions. Each division has different responsibilities and membership in any one is based on the individual's desire for responsibility.
The divisions are:
- Inquisitors: These soldiers are those who are members of co-ordinated attack squads. The MOB attacks at regular intervals, and the Inquisitors are all able to meet one (or more) of these attack times.
- Missionaries: These soldiers are those who are unable to make one of the scheduled attack times (but may be able to co-ordinate with each other). They serve as scouts and "door knockers".
- Zealots: These are standard infantry men. They are not members of an inquisitor team, and have no obligations other than to attack open targets. They may perform their actions whenever they choose.

Inquisition Teams
|
|
The Militant Order of Barhah has four "Inquisition Teams". All three teams co-ordinate via IRC. (Server: irc.nexuswar.com Channel: #mob)
- The Inquisition The primary team, which any member of the MOB may join in with. This team strikes at or about 0300 GMT (8:00 PM PST; 11:00 PM EST). Any members present in IRC at that time may join in the strike. Inquisition strikes are led by Sauth, the High Inquisitor (seconded by Kashara).
- Bairn Ceatharn A second strike team, the Bairn attack at or around 1645 GMT and operate from #mob. This team is led by Drag N' Feast (seconded by Liche). Any members of the MOB present in IRC at the time of the strike may join.
- The Societas Iorm An elite strike team, membership is by invitation only. This strike team is led by Grogh (seconded by Lucita) and its attack time is a closely guarded secret. It does not operate from #mob.
- The Barhahry Corsairs A tertiary strike team (with some overlap with the Bairn), the Corsairs attack at or around 1300 GMT and operate from #mob. This team is led by Revenant (seconded by Visible_One). Any members of the MOB present in IRC at the time of the strike may join.

Philosophy
|
|
The Militant Order of Barhah espouses and heels to the idea of Barhah Fundamentalism. They believe that life of any kind is "anti-barhah". Further, they believe that the tools and trappings of the living (such as revive needles) are "anti-barhah" as well. This philosophy extends to their perspectives on "zombie" techniques such as death cultism.
The Barhah Fundamentalist viewpoint is that there is absolutely no circumstance under which a zombie should be brought back to life. Further, those zombies who regularly engage in "crossing over" – or worse, actively seek out life – are heretics and no better than the harmans who they claim to fight.
Barhah fundamentalists believe that there is "barhah" and "anti-barhah" and all things can be classified as one or the other. Barhah is to be embraced, and anti-barhah is to be extinguished.
The rot is barhah. The needle is anti-barhah.
- The Barhah cares not for the ends, but for the means. One cannot be one with the Barhah if one strolls through barricades bearing weapons of steel and powder.
True Barhah is the joy of the rot and of warm drippings of brains. Barhah is not found in the barrel of a gun, nor the blade of an axe, but by tilling the earth of harmanity with your own claws and teeth, planting the seeds of their future Barhah.
