"I've heard that the acolytes are able to manipulate the shadows, twisting them into strange forms that haven't been seen since the 1st Great War of Zoris. Some even say that they're the ones who pull the life-force out of the unwilling sacrifices they give to the Goddesses in their forbidden rituals. Not that the Goddesses ever listen to their chanting; they find the acts deplorable."
–Vibius Aratus, Royal Librarian of Llupia
