Temple Affiliations

Most major Temples are a faction unto themselves, and contain many diverse elements. For example, the Daeusite Temples house the Sunguard tradition, as well as others. Not every tradition, such as Sunguards or Silver Chords are necessarily their own organization, though at times they may function as a group. Instead, they are part of a larger umbrella. Temples require a variety of aid and services, and the agendas of deities are as broad as they are diverse in order to provide options for roleplay. These traditions also benefit immensely by being part of the greater structure.

Monastic Order of the Nightfell N/a

Monks, fighters Locations: Alexandros, Dran, etc.

A monastic order.

The monks of the Nightfell worship the Void and some of its higher-ups claim to have been touched in some manner by it's insanity. While they do not fall into the Chaos of Destruction of the Void, they find order in it in almost ruthless fashion. For to know Chaos, one must know Order. And to them, the absolute silence and nothingness of the Void and complete destruction is the ultimate of Order. It is this world that Elhim and the Gods created that is the epitome of Chaos. And thus, is must be destroyed. Often not just monks, this group has kept itself hidden and has only one lone monestary, deep and hidden in the Desolation. This group is willing to hire themselves out as assassins and spies, adding a little of the bliss of nothingness along their way.

Monastic Order of the Single Chord N/a

Monks, fighters Locations: Alexandros, Dran, etc.

A monastic order.

The Single Chord is Maugrim's order, though recruits do not approach by choice. Promising students are often drafted from areas of the Conquerer's influence after they have displayed certain aptitudes, such as quickness of limb, strength of the hand, and a tendency towards planning and cruelty. Established monks are often sent into the world as agents of nobility, merchants, and other influential areas. The aim of the group is as mysterious as its foundingall that is known is that it serves Maugrim, and is likely under the influence of a number of His priests. Rumors suggest that the members of this order take no oaths, for their life is for Maugrim and advancing his inevitable rule of all things. To fail Maugrim, is to die and suffer in the Iron Hells at his displeasure. Thus, failure is not an option.

An order focused on the eradication of the undead.

File:Org hunterofthedead.jpg These men and women have dedicated their lives to hunting down and destroying the undead. Destruction ranges beyond the battlefield, to the uncovering of necromancers and works to counter Thulite propaganda and cults. The recruiting of new members is semi-formal, and the circumstances may differ on a case-by-case basis. Sufficiently grave threats are usually responded to by a mobilizing of the local members, followed by an organized effort to stop the threat.

Silver Crescent Associated Characters

Paladins, monks, inquisitors, rangers Locations: Most everywhere

An order focused on the eradication of Caracoroth's influence among lycanthropes.

An order dedicated to the unmasking, hunting, and even conversion of lycanthropes. The Crescent stands opposite the Children of Garm and the latter's cults. Their work is not easy: shapechangers hide easily among everyday society and must often be rooted out before they may be neutralized. Though Elunans form strong numbers among the Crescent, Gilead's and Danan faiths are well-represented. Some of their most active members are former or current lycanthropic creatures, themselves. In cases like these, the Crescent can provide them a new identity, and means to move forward outside of Garm's clutches. PCs may use the Skinwalker Prestige Class to emulate this heritage.
