Faith of the Unfaithful
Those Who Worship Nothing
The Faith of the Unfaithful is a religious group that claims to be anti-religion, as they follow the God of Demons, the Demon Lord also called the All Consuming Evil, or simply Chernobog. Many also worship the other Demon Lords beneath Chernobog, but not all do so.
A Religion with No Rules
There is no fully endorsed, organized religion around Chernobog and his Demons. The main reason for this is words from the All Consuming Evil himself, as he says:"People look to me and see what they see in every other imbecile that sits in the Heavens, calling themselves a God, and so I get branded with that same foolish title. I am no God... I am everything they fear. I am their undoing... for I am the mouthpiece of the true Gods. Take up my words as your weapons and dismantle the system these false idols have built!"Therefore, most people instead follow his teachings of these, so-called, "True Gods." Due to this, there are only vague guidelines of what his followers should do, and most of them are simply to dismantle the religions that are spread around Totania and stop them from digging their claws any further. That being said, there are some groups that take it upon themselves to organize and claim themselves as the official faith of Chernobog, or at least as official as one can get without his full endorsement.
Guardians of the Mist
The most prominent of these groups are the Guardians of the Mist, a group of warriors that work to forcefully rid Totania of the Gods influence. They are said to be dangerous warriors, each bearing a curse from one of the Demon Lords which hinders their daily life, yet also is designed to aid them against holy forces. It is said that the Guardians of the Mist consider themselves the definitive faith of Chernobog, but Chernobog himself only sees them as a means to an end, having said of them:"It is useful to have a fierce fighting force that believes in me... but tehy worship me as if I were a God and the words that I say are my teachings. I am only a preacher, a mouthpiece... still, they will be most useful against the Gods, so I cannot complain. I will simply bide my time."They can be distinguished best by a set of black armor made from an unknown metal, which each of them wears, alongside tattoos that they bear in the name of Chernobog.
