The Brothers In Shadow
Seekers of Truth
The Brothers In Shadow are a secret society working in direct opposition to The Radiant Seat. They have representatives in every district except for Halo. They are concerned with exposing the corruption of The Radiant Seat and repealing its many edicts.
Peaceful Investigators
The Brotherhood is primarily concerned with discovering truth wherever it can be found. As such, the various edicts issued by The Radiant Seat stand in direct opposition to their values and have made Luphilia Othoram their primary enemy. As seekers of truth, the Brotherhood highly value evidence and testimony related to the inner workings of the Radiant Seat. In the pursuit of knowledge there is no code of ethics. Bribes, blackmail, and coercion are all considered valid methods of pursuing truth. The only rule is: No use of physical harm. The Radiant Seat uses threats against life and limb to maintain power and the Brotherhood will not stoop to their level.All Are Welcome
The Brotherhood recognizes that The Radiant Seat is oppressing all classes within the society of Bastille. They also recognize that those belonging to the upper class have privileges that allow them to access information and people that the lower class cannot. As such, all members of all classes are welcome within the ranks of the Brotherhood. As long as you profess to be a friend of the objective truth, there is a place for you.Structure
A Forbidden Brotherhood
The Brotherhood is a decentralized organization with no distinct leader. Because of the risks inherent in meeting in a group of any large number, there is no ruling body that governs the Brotherhood. Each member has a level of seniority based on their length of tenure and the merit of their contributions to the cause. When meetings do occur, the member with the highest seniority will take charge of the proceedings. Each member is encouraged to act as they see fit and record what they have done in order to present their work at the infrequent meetings. As such, written word is the primary means of communication within the Brotherhood.Public Agenda
Truth
While classified as a terrorist organization by the The Radiant Seat, the Brotherhood refrains from using violence to realize its goals. Each member of the Brotherhood is tasked with infiltrating the inner workings of the governing body within Bastille and discovering the truth about what is really going on. Gathering evidence and testimony is highly encouraged and can lead to a promotion within the ranks of the Brotherhood. Ultimately, the Brotherhood wants to discover what happened to the portal leading to the Material Plane, what are the Voidlings, what is the The Great Light, and what happened to the The Order of Wizards.Suffer the light to reveal the truth.
Hunted By The Seat
The Brothers In Shadow are considered a terrorist organization by The Radiant Seat. Rewards have been posted in all Districts for information leading to the arrest of the Brotherhoods leaders and members. Despite this, very few have come forward to present information.
"The Brothers In Shadow are an abomination to The Great Light and its providence. They seek to sunder everything we have striven to build within Bastille. This is our home, our sanctuary. The Great Light holds back the tides of darkness that threaten to crush us and the Brothers In Shadow seek to snuff our light. Do not let their vitriol enter your hearts and twist your minds. Give them up. Wherever you find them, call them out. Only then can we bring back peace to our home."
