Brotherhood of the Eye

​

The Priests of the Eye are the backbone of the Church of Palanos. In the early days, it was the Titan Brome Tothus​ that was able to help the prophets of the other orders see the value in organization and cooperation. The Priests of the Eye are present all throughout society and in all provinces. They are well educated and well versed in the laws of the locale in which they dwell. Often they are appointed as judges for local administrations and as advisers to leadership. Priest of The Eye are well known for their advocacy in the education of all people; they often establish libraries or centers of knowledge.​

​With cool reserve and forward vision, Priests of the Eye are the glue that brings the various conflicts within the Church of Palanos together. If not for these priests, many hypothesize, the Church would not be possible at all. If a priest is present in a community but has no formal standing, they are often still consulted on matters of law and planning if available.​

Tenets of Faith
​Cultivate beauty in all that you do, whether you’re casting a spell, composing a saga, strumming a lute, or practicing the arts of war.​
​Seek out lost magic items, forgotten rituals, and ancient works of art. Caelym might have inspired them in the world’s first days.​
​Thwart followers of Lloth at every opportunity.​
​Seek the perfection of your mind by bringing reason, perception, and emotion into balance with one another.​
​Accumulate, preserve, and distribute knowledge in all forms. Pursue education, build libraries, and seek out lost and ancient lore​
​Be watchful at all times for the Highlords, who seek to control knowledge and keep secrets. Oppose their schemes, unmask their secrets, and blind them with the light of truth and reason.​
