The Order of Shadow Hunters (Mhornarkuli) were formed to fight against the forces of the Raving Undead brought into the world by the corruption of Nagash. Led by selected priests of Gazul, chapters of the Shadow Hunters can be found in all Dwarfholds, especially those located nearest to the Badlands and the Imperial province of Sylvania.
The Order of Shadow Hunters also played an important role in the Vampire Wars of the 21st and 22nd century Empire, fighting against the various armies of the von Carsteins alongside the Mórrian Orders of the Raven and Black Guards.

Black Spears (Dwarf Exorcists)
Within the Order of Shadow Hunters are the Black Spears (Kolwutrazi): Dwarfs that are trained as Exorcists (Sigmar’s Heirs, page 123). In some situations, a Black Spear can be found among a company of Shadow Hunters.
Black Spears are equipped in the same manner as other Shadow Hunters, thus making it more difficult to distinguish these specialists at first glance.
In recent years, the Shadow Hunters have been given the charge of locating the burial chambers of long forgotten or fallen Dwarf settlements in the Worlds Edge Mountains. Their task is to exhume the dead and re-inter the remains with their funereal possessions within the tombs beneath
the nearest standing Dwarfhold. Should any such burial site be desecrated, the Shadow Hunters
are to secretly seek out the guilty and, forcibly if need be, bring them to face Dwarf justice.
