The Dark Six

The Dark Six and the Sovereign Host are opposite sides of the same coin. If you believe it one you inherently believe in the other; the only question is whether you fear or revere the Dark Six. The principles of the faith are the same: just like the Sovereigns, the Six are with us at all times. They shape the world and speak to those who will listen.   In general, the Sovereigns represent values tied to civilization: Law, community, trade, industry, agriculture, and honor in war. The Dark Six embody dangerous concepts: Death, chaos and change, the destructive powers of nature, treachery in battle, dark magic and monsters, passion and madness. Those who worship the Sovereigns fear these things; those who revere the Six embrace them and don’t consider them to be evil. If you’re a barbarian, it’s the Fury who unleashes your rage. If you’re an assassin, you walk the path of the Mockery as opposed to that of Dol Arrah.   The creatures of Droaam generally revere the Dark Six. Humanity sees the Shadow as a villain who gave the harpy her voice and the medusa her gaze; to the harpy and the medusa, this makes the Shadow a hero.
