Mystra has sworn to oppose him but she is an enemy that he would give almost anything to bring to his side. Clerical Information: Clericy Name: Main Temple Location: Clericy Description: Cyric is the youngest of the gods, and potentially one of the most powerful, having taken on the portfolios of Bane, Bhall, and Myrkul, as well as adopted their huge horde of followers and worshipers. This occured at about the same time as the fall of the High Kingdom, the priests of Cyric say that he had a pivital role in bringing down both the three gods and the Kingdom itself. Due to his relative youth as a diety, The "true priests" of Cyric dress simply in black or dark purple robes with hoods. All wear silver bracers on their wrists as a symbol of enslavement to their god. While the Banite custom of facial tattoos is ignored, priests of Cyric paint the symbol of their new god on their cheeks and / or forhead on high holy days. The priests of Cyric and the god himself have a great effort ahead of them. Not all the former followers of the Dead Three venerate or even recognize Cyric. The former Banites and Bhaalists are heavily factionalized among their own numbers and petty warfare is already erupting. As an evil god Cyric's temples and shrines are openly tolerated only in the most evil or most tolerant of cities. And the other evil gods (Tallos, Malar, Shar, Umberlee) are carefully watching this young usurper to see if he succeeds in commanding his godhood or stumbles. If Cyric stumbles, the other gods will certainly be there to pick up the pieces and rob the bodies. Requirements: Wisdom 13, Intelligennce 13 Weapons Allowed: All bludgeoning weapons and the long sword (Cyrics weapon of choice) Armor Allowed: Any Magical Items Allowed: Same as clerics. Clerical Extras: Priests of Cyric command undead as if they were two levels higher. Are immune to fear and other emotion-altering magic. They can be charmed and are subject to enchantment / charm magic, provided that the spells have no effect on the emotions. At 5th level they can summon an aerial servant (as per the spell). This servant will fight for the priest and can act as a magical assassin. Clerical Limitations:
