Mourners of the Slain Eagle (faith)
Parent: Ancient Religion
The followers of this isolationist cult are feared across the Isles for their fanaticism, their faith only known to a few traders and dusty shelves in Aversarian academies. Followers disdain the peoples of the isles, seeing them as complicit in the great betrayal that has haunted them ever since. They speak of a guardian eagle, protectors of a meak people blessed to live under its wings. They were safe, until a jealous Magi cut the throat of their guardian and left them to the terrors of the night. In time they grew strong, and when the time was right they set sail to find a home where they could mourn their protector in peace.
Since ancient times their isles have found peace, most never encountering an eagle banner in their lifetime. Once in a century however tales spread far and wide of a small fleet sailing the waves, slaying any Magi unfortunate enough to cross their path.
