Strifeleader

Strifeleaders, or as they referred themselves the Sworn, were the specialty priests of the deity Cyric. They were charged with sowing discord and chaos across the Realms in order to grow the faith of the Dark Sun. They spread what they referred to as the "One True Way" of their god's faith.

Activities
When they weren't propagating fear and mistrust among those outside of their faith, Strifeleaders often plotted against other Cyricists, to increase their own personal standing.

Abilities
Strifeleaders were adept at utilizing and seeing through subversion. As to be expected they were adept at lying to others, even in the face of certain spells used to discern the truth. Similarly, Strifleaders could withstand magical fear effects and were adept at seeing through illusion magic.

Many of them were skilled in the utilization of various poisons.

As they grew in personal power, they gained access a few divine spells unique to their faith, including: black talon, dread blast, skull of secrets, skull eyes, triple mask, and create direguard.

Tactics
They often involved themselves in the courts of corrupt or malevolent rulers, particularly those who sought to increase their own power by any means necessary.

Base of Operations
In the first decade of their existence, Strifeleaders and the other faithful of Cyric maintained their headquarters in Zhentil Keep.

History
