Acolyte (Magi) of Gloom

Steel Realms

The Magi of Gloom is an agent of the Cult of Gloomfader.

Bound to Gloombringer:

Aura Taint: -2 Essence (1 each to mask their association with primal Darkness and Gloomfader).

Essence for Their Holy Symbol: The Holy Symbol of the Magi of Gloom is a mirrored brand of the Order of the Broken Sun on both the insides of the thighs. It only needs to be paid for once, and there is no opportunity for a greater Holy Symbol – the price of keeping their identity as a cult member secret. The Acolyte (Magi) of Gloom use a Item of Focus, created/crafted and imbued by the Order of the Broken Sun.
