Dark Justiciars

The Dark Justiciars was an honorary order or secret society within the priesthood of Shar. They were the elite among the faithful of the Mistress of the Night.

Membership
It was rumored that in order to gain admittance to the order of the Dark Justiciars, a Sharran supplicant had to have killed a priest or priestess of Selûne. This was in fact quite true.

They were thought to be especially proficient in illusion and phantasm magic, even more so than other Sharran priests like nightbringers.

Possessions
