The Church of The Black Sun
The Church of the Black Sun is one of the faiths in The Continent of Amoth, particularly prominent among the scattered settlements of Blackfyre Gulf.
The Church is heavily influenced by the Blackfire phenomenon for which the Gulf is named, and the effects it has on those Born Under The Black Sun. The Church encourages its followers to exult in acts of cruelty and wanton destruction.
As a result of their exposure to The Black Sun many members of the church manifest abilities that allow them to exert influence over shadows, create Blackfire or summon or influence Shades. While parallels can be drawn with Black Knights of The Kingdom of Irogonie, the Black Knights' abilities are used as part of the balancing act of Dualism1, while the followers of the Church have no such end goals in mind, they perform acts of cruelty and destruction for their own sake.
Particularly powerful members of the Church are known to practice Shadebinding, a process by which a living person's Shade is bound into their own body.
