Eclipsean Harmony
"In the moon's soft glow, I wander alone,
Seeking a partner, a heart like my own.
Someone to share in the dance of the night,
To twirl and to spin in the pale silver light.
"Dance with me, under the eclipse's embrace,
Let our shadows merge, let our hearts find their place.
In the dance of the stars, let our spirits entwine,
Together forever, in this moment divine.
"Through the shadows we'll glide, like spirits in flight,
Lost in the music, our hearts burning bright.
With every step, our bond will grow strong,
In this dance of the night, where we both belong.
"Dance with me, under the eclipse's embrace,
Let our shadows merge, let our hearts find their place.
In the dance of the stars, let our spirits entwine,
Together forever, in this moment divine.
"In the rhythm of the night, we'll find our song,
Two souls united, where we both belong.
With every turn and every graceful glide,
Our love will blossom, side by side.
"Dance with me, under the eclipse's embrace,
Let our shadows merge, let our hearts find their place.
In the dance of the stars, let our spirits entwine,
Together forever, in this moment divine.
"So take my hand, and let's dance into the night,
In the glow of the eclipse, our love shining bright.
For in each other's arms, we'll find our true home,
Together in love, forevermore to roam."

Ethics

Worship
Worship involves contemplation, meditation, and rituals that emphasize the balance of light and shadow, seeking to find personal harmony in the process, all punctuated by bursts of activity when the Charismatic is inspired. These activities may be devotional ceremonies to strengthen bonds between Eclipseans, they may be wild parties, they may be organized dances, or they may be acts of collective creativity.
Priesthood
Eclipsean Charismatics are often the center of personality cults that are devoted to the leader as much as Eclipse Fickle Bloom. These cults can range from benign life-aid gurus to malevolent sex cults without ranging outside the norms and traditions of the Eclipseans in general. Almost all of the Charismatics are undead, most typically vampires or well preserved mummies.
Granted Divine Powers
Undead created by Eclipsean Charismatics are unusually resilient, and some even have some protections from weaknesses of their kind. For instance, their mummies are less flammable and their vampires can spend a few hours outside on a cloudy day before the sun burns them.
Political Influence & Intrigue
Eclipseans have gained a foothold in Prunyth's diplomatic corps as well as in the White Tower.
