Black Martyr's Custodians (concept)
Sacred caretakers of the Black Martyr's mad husk, they dress their charge in black robe and attempt to divide his deranged but oftentimes oracular ramblings into those that are incomprehensible to our mortal ken and those that can be deciphered with great effort. However, these custodians are at the best of times inaccurate and have but rarely managed to predict future happenings. Most believe this is due to custodians' imcompetance, while some blame the Black Martyr as not posessing true prophetic abilties.
A more recent phenomenon has the Martyr's ramblings becoming almost exculsively about cataclysmic events, the Martyr itself growing more distressed by the moment.
