Old Dominion: Archimandrite

When the Fall came, the vast majority of the clergy of Hazlia were wiped out with Capitas, the capital of the theocratic Dominion. Those who survive today and have taken up the mantle of the Last Creed are the spiritual descendants not of the central clergy, who were wiped out with Capitas, but of the monastic orders that flourished beyond the influence of Capitas. Among the oldest and most dangerous members of the Last Creed are the Archimandrites, each blessed by the vile power of the non-God and imbued with the mysteries and rituals of his dark church. Their monasteries abandoned in favour of cells deep beneath the rock of Capitas, these blasphemous creatures command the absolute loyalty of a dozen acolytes. These acolytes lead the depraved followers of the apocalyptic cults that are easily found in the dying lands of the north, as well as the many immortal legionnaires and monsters that their obscure arts allow them to control.
