Priests of Eregul dress in all black at all times. They avoid the sun as much as possible to develop pallid skin, even going to the extent of using paints and dyes to make themselves as pale as they possibly can. They have the single-minded purpose of providing their master's realm with as many souls as is possible. They are particularly fond of "assisting" the injured and dying on their way.
