His principal concern is working with the hooded figures and Sheruvian Order over the ancient artifacts in the Broken Lands. In his own accounting this is ultimately a consequence of the destruction of the Eye of the Drake at the turn of the century. In the past few decades Xorus has most often been seen in northwestern Elanith, perhaps as a result of the malevolent powers which kept making themselves known. The society is thought to have been founded by the "old money" of noble families from the Age of Chaos who have chaffed under the meritocratic and novelty-driven reforms of Faendryl society since the time of the Sea Elf war. He is a member of the Order of the Black Flame, an aristocratic secret society - also known by other names such as the Balefire Club and the Black Claw, in reference to the six-fingered talons rumored in ancient texts to have been possessed by the Ur-Daemon - with dubious ties to both the figurative and literal underworlds, often the subject of conspiracy theories regarding the Senary. He has often remarked that the Palestra are fine for keeping watch on the ambitious summoner, who is rather limited in what he has the power to conjure regardless, but that they are most often missing entirely those forces who would unearth long buried eldritch horrors and the truly apocalyptic hazards. These are precisely those who seek to acquire that which is "forbidden." This often involves forming necessary relationships with cults, dark figures, and unlawful orders.
He is a specialist in esoteric lore and heterodox or apocryphal theology from the Age of Darkness, the study of extrachthonic and dead languages, the history and praxis of various branches of the black arts including forms of higher necromancy, the archaeology of cryptic and malevolent pre-historical sites especially of the Ur-Daemon or other primordial manifestations, and the recovery of antiquities or dangerous artifacts. Xorus Kul'shin is an occult philologist and Vice Chancellor Emeritus of the Hazalred Thaumaturgical Institute, one of many transient heads of the Faendryl antiquaries society.
