Church of Leira
Creed
The meaning of life lies in deception and falsity. To deceive is to live, and to manipu¬late through deceit is to triumph. Bald fact is mere existence, and even death can be an illu¬sion. If you believe nothing you see or hear, you embrace the Goddess of Deception and Illusion, and will succeed. Plain and whole truth must be spoken to fellow Mistshadowed—among the ranks of the Unmasked, there must be no deceit. Outside our holy fellowship, let untruth always swirl strong. Lie to someone every day. Weighty and well-told lies are better than merely frivolous ones. The best sort of lie is wholly believable and spurs those who believe it to do things they would not have done had they not heard it. Foster and pass on rumors daily, and revel in the delicious sharing of confidences and gossip that are untrue. The truth is worthless; falsehood is the allure and satisfying drink of life. Spread superior falsehoods and deceit and prosper thereby, for in your success, the Mist- shadow deepens, and the Lady succeeds, too.Secular Aims
The Mistshadowed (clergy of Leira) are expected to deceive outsiders as often as it is possible to do so well, and at least once daily. They are also expected to try to profit from their many deceits, and to share—without decep¬tion as to the amount—a tenth of what they make with the church of Leira. Fellow Mistshadowed are expected to aid in deceptions they deem el¬egant—for a share of the takings, of course. Deceiving a fellow clergy of Leira can lead to one being expelled from the church and victim¬ized by the Shunning of the Lady: Leira’s curse, which means no one will ever believe anything regarding the cursed one, even what they can see with their own eyes—which state of affairs usu¬ally leads to the accursed becoming an outcast or finding death through bitter fighting or a swift suicide. Priests of Leira will work together ruthlessly against anyone who deceives one of them, but otherwise tend to operate alone, working decep¬tion upon deception in every city of Faerun. Under multiple names, they accumulate prop¬erties and hide caches of wealth in many clever places. In one Leiran priest’s house, a cracked, filthy chamber pot was accidentally broken one day—and was discovered to have seventy gold pieces hidden in an unfired clay slurry lining that had been used to reseal and repair the pot. Mistshadowed never stop swindling and ma-nipulating and investing. As Exalted Mistcloak Irltobrand Zamrest of Ormpur puts it, “We like to feel the Lady’s smile.”Если вы хотите что то добавить или присоединится к команде редакторов - пишите комментарии
