iCore™ Faith Details
Like all faiths of the Steel Realms, a single divine principal has multiple aspects but shares key qualities. There are several small cults and orders in addition to the larger and more well known ones.
There is even rumors of a sect of Gloom Bringer among the Ducateon, that follow the ways of “The Encroaching Darkness” and are killers of the priests of Maðr. They believe that Maðr is a deceiver and holding the Ducateon back in their rigid society. For them, the way to evolve is to turn inward, and the path is dark. The dark must be traversed in order to find the way.
