[hider=The Weeping Widows]
[b]Faction Name:[/b][indent][color=silver]Brides of Daigon[/color][/indent]
[b]Alias:[/b][indent][color=silver]The Weeping Widows[/color][/indent]
[b]Government Type:[/b][indent][color=silver]Strictly hierarchical relgiious order based on obedience and indoctrination.[/color][/indent]
[b]Faction Specie(s):[/b][indent][color=silver]Led by a human-centric council, with the leaders of the order three human women who claim to be ancient immortals who were once betrothed to the Dark Lord. All races and species welcomed in the order, but only females are permitted to join the inner orders, with males acting as 'lay missionaries' for the faith.[/color][/indent]
[b]Species Descriptions:[/b][color=silver][indent]Although all races and species are accepted into the order, ordained Widows can be identified by the dark coloured veils worn covering their faces. Their clothing is often unadorned, and made from simple fabrics. Higher ranking ministers, known as Sisters, wear white gowns and veils, reminiscent of wedding dresses.

Male ministers of the faith wear simple robes and carry a symbol of their faith, usually in the form of a wedding band worn on the third finger of their dominant hand (dexterous ministers wearing the band on the right hand, sinister minsters on their left.)[/indent][/color]
[b]Territory Details:[/b][color=silver][indent]Their central monestary, known as the Fallen Keep, is located on a large island to the southeast of Nagath, surrounded by a body of water known as the Saltwater Sea. The tower itself is the ruined remains of one of Daigon's old fortresses, and legend has it that the large lake was filled by the tears shed by the order in mourning to the death of their Lord. However more recent cartographic studies have proven the 'sea' is linked with the Cursed Sea, explaining the saltwater for which the lake is named.[/indent]

[b]Faction Religion/Ideology:[/b][indent][color=silver]While on the surface the Weeping Widows present themselves as a peaceful order dedicated to providing aid and succour to all in need, their true motives are far darker. By using their missionaries to recruit and indoctrinate weak willed individuals, the Brides of Daigon spread their influence through the lands, infiltrating all levels of society through the slow spread of their beliefs.[/color][/indent]
[b]Faction Description:[/b][indent][color=silver]The Weeping Widows are a common sight throughout Nagath, with a few smaller outposts making their way into the Justinian Imperium in recent years. Their churches are often rustic and simple, doubling as both bunk houses and cantinas providing food and shelter for any who find themselves in need. Hidden basements contain the true altars to the faith where darker sacraments are formed with any volunteers willing to ake up the faith, although the true darkness of the order is only ever revealed to the most trusted of disciples.

Over the centuries, the Brides of Daigon have been slowly recruiting members, spreading over the land with followers and agents finding their ways into as many other factions as they can. Almost every major settlement has some level of their presence, ranging from wandering missionaries to established churches, and the order has eyes and ears throughout Nagath. While some have questioned the order's true motives, in truth the Brides have no true plans other than to establish themselves as a powerful faction hidden within the courts of others, able to influence events from the shadows without ever placing themselves in direct competition to those believing themselves in control.

The order is lead by three women known as the Triplets, who claim to be sister immortal by the Dark Lord many centuries ago when they were betrothed to him as his brides. Their grief in his death has sustained them through the ages, allowing them to continue the good works which were the true legacy of their lord.[/color][/indent]
[b]Faction History:[/b][indent][color=silver]Publically the Weepind Widows claim to date back to the earliest years of the Daigon's reign, representing the women who were sent as offerings to the Dark Lord and acting as both his harem and the source of his many brides. In truth the order was created over a century after the Dark Lord's defeat by a group of avaricious nomads who settled in the ruins of the Fallen Keep and who created the myth of their connection to the Dark Lord as a means to protect themselves from the predations of the hostile surrounding tribes.

Over the years, the myths and legends of the order spread, with the best being adopted by the nomads as scripture. Less than twenty years after their first arrival in the ruins the Triplets had managed to gain the fielty of the surrounding tribes, using the influence of the Dark Lord's name to levy favour with the chieftains. In the intervening centuries the followers of the Weeping Widows have spread the myths and lies of the nomads throughout the lands, allowing the rumours and stories of their deeds to be cartried by all in order to gain the respect and devotion of the gullible wherever they go.[/color][/indent]
[b]Important Characters:[/b][indent][color=silver]The Triplets are the joint leaders of the order, and often speak as one in perfectly timed unison when speaking in public.

Beneath them are the Council of Sisters, the highest ranking disciples of the order who are fully indoctrinated in the secrets of the Church. Each Sister is responsible for overseeing the different regions of Nagath, helping to co-ordinate the activities of their followers and collating reports and rumours from their followers.[/color][/indent]
[b]Relations to other Factions:[/b][indent][color=silver]As a religious order, the Weeping Widows have believers and followers in most other factions, ranging from casual devotees to full-blown apostles willing to place the will of the Widows above the word of their Lords.[/color][/indent]
