Agrinor the Unclean

Saint of Suffering and Pestilence

Maxim: The Corrupter of Flesh
Symbol: A Locust Leg
Description: Agrinor was an alchemist in the thriving city of Halcyon where he made his living selling concoctions to cure the many ailments that were prevalent in the Halcyon society. As the city continued to expand and prosper, the divide between poor and elite grew; deadlier sicknesses began to run rampant in the destitute areas of Halcyon, killing its citizens in droves. The people went to the nobles and chancellors for aid, but the wealthy would do nothing to help the poor souls who were being affected.

Enraged by this injustice, Agrinor infected himself with a particularly deadly sickness before going to a gala that would be attended by many of the influential personages of Halcyon. Within weeks the plague had devastated the city's elites causing their flesh to corrupt, bloat, and wither. Soon the entire city was sick and dying except for the poor whom Agrinor had inoculated against the disease. The common people hailed Agrinor as a hero and, when he was finally brought to justice, deified him as a Saint of Thystre for providing justice to the corrupt and greedy of the world.

The Ordained: Agrinor's ordained, few that there are, call themselves Plague Bearers. They believe each disease is a gift and a chance for the inflicted to reflect on how good their lives were. The Plague Bearers seek out areas of disease or sickness and render aid.

Known Sects/Cults: Black Alchemists - As the name would suggest, the members of this sect are underworld Alchemists and Leeches who use their knowledge to help the sick and dying, for a price.

Saint of Divination

Maxim: The Pulled Thread

Description: Ayms was a hermit who dwelt on the edge of the ancient kingdom of Kyore where locals would come from near and far to receive her readings and bone castings. However, after the son of a rich merchant had died at the time, and in the way, that Ayms had predicted: Rumblings began that Ayms was the one responsible for the son’s demise. As with most things that touch on the arcane and unknown, the people were soon driven by ignorance and fear as they surrounded the home of Ayms and set fire to its roof. As Ayms burned, suffering in agony, looking out on the faces of those who hated and feared her, she foretold one last vision: A Demon gate was going to be opened by the Cult of the Lidless in an abandoned warehouse in the Capitol of Kyore.

Ayms, with her last words, did not condemn or curse those who murdered her, but instead chose to save untold lives as the Cult of the Lidless was stopped before their plans could come to fruition. The story of Ayms altruism, even in the face of hatred and death, spread across the lands and soon she became known as Ayms the Sibyl, Saint of Tonks.

The Ordained: Oracles of Ayms are known to possess potent foresight abilities. They are often called upon, or appear, at the crossroads of great decisions that shape future events. They believe that Ayms provides information of what could happen, not what will happen, and that it is up to the individual to use that information, not for the Oracles to intervene.

Bribed by the enemy, Dulmarth betrayed the city and let the attacking army through the gates allowing them to take control of Beliskner. Part of their bargain was to quickly end the assault and allow food and relief to the citizens of the city, the enemy army did not honor that deal: their soldiers sacked the city and killed scores Belisker's people in the streets.

During an investigation in the city of Lang-Lae, Kelmarik discovered corruption within the Church of Dicium itself. Unable to convince, or trust, her own superiors in the church; Kelmarik began a detailed crusade against the evil that had infected Lang-Lae’s temples.

From the shadows, Adjudicator Kelmarik gathered evidence and confessions as she bloodily climbed the ranks of the corrupt clergy before finally being slain in the Room of Ennoblement by the Exalted One of Lang-Lae himself.

Though dead, Kelmarik’s evidence and crusade exposed the truth: A small army of Adjudicators descended upon Lang-Lae, cleansing the remaining heretics in blood and fire.

The Most Holy Antredes of Holt is said to have directly petitioned Dicium the Law Giver to raise Kelmarik to sainthood. The request granted, she became known as Saint Kelmarik the Confessor, Seeker of Justice, and now works under the purview of Dicium.

Known Sects/Cults: Seekers of Kelmarik are investigators of sorts: If there are suspicions that someone has escaped deserved judgment for crimes most heinous, Seekers will do their own investigations. If the accused is found guilty for their odious acts, the Seeker will carry out divine retribution swiftly and without mercy.
