Aliassa the Liar
A wry smile, the cut of a leather coin purse and a lie told
in confidence are all little worships given to the conniving
Nightfather. The lord of good fortune, She who Stole the Stars, or The Father of Shadows, and the
patron of burglars, confident men and women, and gamblers, almost everyone
throws a brass or two to the Nightfather’s coffers when all
else seems impossible. The Nightfather is a trickster, though
not malicious; He often appears as a cunning knave or young
orphan girl, otherwise in the form of a jackdaw such as a crow
or raven. Many assert that the Nightfather was originally a
mortal who tricked His way into ascending into the court
of the gods. The lord of fortune’s Magicks are subtle and
often appear as twists of fate on the surface, which is what
the Nightfather desires: keep people in the shadows as to his
true intentions.

Tenets of Faith
Grey Guilders expound freedom
and liberty in their tenets. You must live by your wits, hold
your sword back from unnecessary violence and work the
wheels of commerce in your favor. They don’t believe in honor,
but trust is valued above all else. Oppression is a terrible sin;
they consider it better to die than live under its yolk. The
Nightfather demands that Grey Guilders donate one out
of nine coins they have. They are expressly forbidden from
wearing metal armor and commanded to only carry small onehanded weapons that can be secreted about themselves
Divine Goals & Aspirations
The Nightfather’s priesthood is ragtag and disorganized at best. Calling themselves Grey
Guilders, they operate more as a shrewd merchant or
banking guild than as an overarching church like that of
the Mother of Mothers. Guilders are cunning and often throw
caution to the wind, knowing the Nightfather will bless
them with good fortune and safe travel. As they rise higher
in the ‘church’, the Guilders will rarely make any decisions
themselves, instead letting fate decide any course of action,
even carrying dice or flipping coins to that end. Darker
Grey Guilders not only place their
own lives in the Nightfather’s
hands, but also the lives of
others, spreading misfortune
and death in the process.
Their dice are always of
onyx or jet. Such tarnished
Guilders often mutilate
half their face in reverence
to the Nightfather as they
dispense life and death at the
flip of a coin.
