Cult of the Dark Night

Order of the Hidden Aves Reva

Based in the far north along Radiant Sea the 'Order of the Hidden Aves Reva' attempt to understand and emulate the Elder God's connection to shadow and dark, both within and without.

Monks of Oba

The Shadow Monks of Oba follow the teachings of their founder Cane Hollow, seeking to understand better the universe and existence through the 'dreams’ of the non waking world they believe seep into the waking world. They differentiate non-waking vs sleeping.

Their leader's tilte is 'Sechum'.

Eventide Shield (mercenaries)

The Eventide Shield are a mercenary group with several chapter houses across the western continent. They have a fearsome reputation, always fulfill their contract and always sell to the highest bidder.

They have sold their services to the Helegu among others

20 years ago one chapter was employed by the Roaring Host to destroy a rebellious general who had taken up refuge in an abandoned fortress at the fringes of the Brass Desert near the Paracer Ascension.

For destroying the rebel general, his army and his followers Captain Bail Kenzee were allowed a share of the loot which included a +1 greataxe that was formerly in possession of the general’s Jinserric* personal champion.

Captain Bail’s chapter spent a further 10 years in the pay of the Roaring Host finishing up in Treonol selling their services to the Autocrat. They were heavily involved in massacre at Phobos**, the Gestahl bloodbath*** and Jeshi Widom**** execution.

They have small chapter house, on a fortified hill 10 miles outside the Citadel of the Autocrat.

5 years ago after the Jeshi Widon execution, the Captain retired somewhere to the south of Trenol near the western edge of the Erensari in the Chalk Tablelands; which is on the northwestern edge of the inland freshwater ‘the Keshin Sea’. The Rakis Rift on the western side of the Chalk Tablelands is a huge natural barrier hundreds of miles long, routinely 10 miles wide and many miles deep in places.

He took with him the Great Axe (nick-named the ‘woodcutter’), which he wielded along with a shining greatsword, a personal retinue of guards, his best friend and personal champion Drake Olgad, his lifelong household steward Eekeb Vandorack and an entire household worth of slaves & servants awarded him by the Autocrat.

Leadership:

  • Rin Darkfighter - Captain of the Eventide Shield Mercenaries (Treonol Chapterhouse)
  • Cos Andromias - High Steward of the Eventide Shield Mercenaries (Treonol Chapterhouse). Cos is also a High Priest of Bhaal
  • Jinserric are a northern tribal people
    • Thousands of combatants and noncombatants deemed to be enemies of the Autocracy hunted down and ‘defeated’ by the Autocrat
      • The annihilation of a united Jayak army (the Jayak were the tribal people who were part-integrated part-at war with the Treonol who warned you about the Tiefling’s curse)
        • Well-known ‘hero’ of the Autocracy who became a people’s champion when he was seen to be politically taking on the ruthless Grand Merchant Ruslan of House Mederen; executed at the order of the Autocrat after being declared enemy of the state and a massive manhunt
