Beliefs:
Tsuki Yomi is an extremely powerful yet mysterious deity. Most followers of The Old Ways regard her with a sense of wonder and fear. She is the holder of sacred truths, secret knowledge, and ancient power that most will never be able to comprehend. But, for those who are willing to devote themselves to her, she will teach them all. Her followers are often seen as being both tremendously wise and a little mad. Priests and priestesses of Tsuki Yomi are devoted to knowledge and wisdom and the power that comes with them. But, they do not share what they learn lightly. They will gather in small covens, and carefully exchange information to those that they trust. Often, they are tasked with recovering lost texts from the ruins of ancient imperial cities or stealing a powerful artifact from the lair of a sleeping dracholich in order to understand how it works.Place of worship:
