The Illurian pantheon is one of the most
worshipped set of gods on Relistan It is the
priests of Steelight that effectively rule the empire
beneath only the emperor himself As a result
there are many who would try to advance in the ranks of the clergy while giving only lip service prayers and false faith to their god in their pursuit of power The disciples of the shadows
are an organization formed in secret within the
church of the Dark Father To most they are only
rumor and hearsay, but the few that know the truth
of their existence know to fear them Rank will
not save you from the divine retribution they will
bring should you faithlessly abuse the church’s
resources and authority They answer to the High
Priest of Steelight only to maintain their guise
within the clergy It is the Shadow Priest that
holds their ultimate loyalty Many think that these
disciples are crazed men seeking their own path to
power, but the true faithful believe that they are the
cleansing fire of faith, sent by the will of the Gods
to purge those unworthy of their position They are
the inquisitors that bring true law to those within
the church’s hierarchy
All disciples of the shadows are loyal priests
of Steelight and have some divine spellcasting
abilities Most come from the ranks of his clergy,
but there are others who are blessed with divine
magic outside of their structure that could serve as
well
Adaptation: If Steelight Shadowborne does
not exist in your campaign, any deity connected
to shadows or the Plane of Shadow could easily
be substituted In this case substitute a different domain for the prerequisite Cold or Darkness are good possibilities for that substitution Those religions that have a more militant branch are much more likely to have followers trained in a similar manner of the Disciples
If the two-bladed sword is not as common in your world as it is in the priesthood of Steelight, another weapon can easily be substituted A longsword or shortsword are the most likely candidates, but any weapon chosen by the selected patron deity can be used
