Magic: Most magic is permitted to the Priests of Nyx, though necromancy is preferred. Magic is used mainly for personal reasons or for testing individual. Divine magic may be used in certain rituals such as confessions or baptisms. Combat: Combat varies quite a bit among the Priests of Nyx but it is generally taught that they should fight in unison as pairs in honour of the splitting of Artemis la Sol. Co-operative combat among where one of the pair is a Priest of Nyx is often impressive to viewers. Rituals and Traditions Baptism, Initiation, confession, ranking, excommunication and Confirmation. Baptisim is usually a simple divine spell cast on an infant after it’s parents have vowed to bring them up in faith. The parents are also spelled along with god parents who will be bound to their vows through magic. Initiation is much like baptism except only the initiate is spelled. It is much like confirmation, save for that in confirmation it is a more complex spell where the bindings are transferred from the god parents and parents to the confirmed. The vows are also different for Initiation and confirmation. Confession occurs privately, the priest will not hear ones confession or know who the confessor is, they will simply place the divine spell for the purification of sins on the individual. The divine spell often causes intense pain as sins are burned off ones soul. The ranking occurs in large groups and involves rebinding of vows under divine magic as well as the replacement of clothes with new clothes appropriate o their new rank. Excommunication involves the individual being flung from the temple by magic as the words of exile are spoken to the excommunicated. This will be preceded by a formal religious trial of the individual. Restrictions: The Priests of Nyx are bound to their vows, respecting all the gods of Iaras, respecting their world and respecting the dead Patron: Mist/ Artemis la Sol |
