The Church of Ilsensine
They represent the interests of Ilsensine and revere the deity. Rather than pursuing psionic achievement, a Venerator focuses its life's work on its devotion to the great brain. Venerators always hold a position of prestige in the colony.
Tenets of Faith
- To spread membership of the Creed to other cities for glory of Ilsensine.
- Illithids are meant to rule the multiverse, to enslave the "cattle" that overrun the lands, to use them, to consume their minds.
- The pursuit of knowledge, exploration of new territory, and the exploitation of knowledge gained through these explorations.
Granted Divine Powers
The main advantage presented to an illithid for joining the Venerators was the ability to use divine magic on top of their psionics. The second major advantage was that Ilsensine bestowed its clergy with knowledge. Gaining favor with the deity allows a priest to gain an answer to any question that Ilsensine could answer.
There are two major disadvantages. A Venerator was is allowed to join the elder brain in death. The other disadvantage is that an illithid's magic resistance was significantly reduced so they could utilize Ilsensine's power more effectively.
Illithid clerics can not turn undead.
