Stygian Church of Syran

This church incorporates shrines to several darkness deities, most notably Subere (The Primal Darkness), Xentha (goddess of the night) and Argan Argar (the troll god of surface darkness). It has a long history and, of all the churches in the Ecumenical Communion of Syran, perhaps the best claim to be a descendant of the original Stygian church of the Autarchy. It is, however, regarded with a certain amount of suspicion by the other churches in Syran.

Its overt dealings with the trolls of Guhan and Halikiv are one reason for this suspicion, although the East Safelster Trading Association is grateful for the goodwill and trade opportunities that this has brought. More dubious, in the opinion of many, are its friendly relations with the Stygian Church of Naskorion, which dominates the neighbouring state and lays claim to being the true heir of Arkat's original church.

In addition to regular weekly blessings from the Abiding Book and the Book of the First Darkness, dedicated worshippers may participate in the common religion of Lords Temporal through the church, and learn Common Magic abilities such as those described in Other Magic below.
