Pit Stalkers study the Pits, the Thread, and all the phenomena in between. This is a very small group associated with the Thaumaturge, and they are almost always adventuring types. Some would say a measure of insanity is also required, and although the rewards in terms of spells and power are great, the mortality rate of a Pit Stalker is roughly ten times that of a normal adventurer. They are currently based in the Castle Imjam Thaumaturge and are led by Racie Shelly and Jimman Ebbers. | Pit Stalkers study the Pits, the Thread, and all the phenomena in between.

Dragonlinks are associated with the Thaumaturge in [[Spellgard]] and are the world's second most sought after experts on [[dragon]] lore. While the Church of [[Aragen]] holds most of the limited knowledge regarding the great beasts that once ruled the skies of [[Layonara]], they defer in matters of the arcane and here the Dragonlinks pick up the slack. | Dragonlinks are associated with the Thaumaturge in [[Spellgard]] and are the world's second most sought after experts on [[dragon]] lore.

The head of this group is Rork O'Mallory who was part of negotiations with Black Plague and several other dragons around Layonara during the Dark Ages. He is also thought to have been one of the Dragon Called before [[Ozlo]]'s [[death]]. He chooses no title for himself and goes simply by Rork. | The head of this group is Rork O'Mallory who was part of negotiations with Black Plague and several other dragons around Layonara during the Dark Ages.

While generally accepted by Lucinda's church, the Risen are sometimes seen as being on the outer fringes of the faith due to their focus on the "darker" aspects of magic. No one will deny their benefit, as this group focuses on spells that raise living shells from the grave and those magics that call souls free from the mortal coil back to the land of the living, as well as those magics which protect against life-stealing spells. | While generally accepted by Lucinda's church, the Risen are sometimes seen as being on the outer fringes of the faith due to their focus on the "darker" aspects of magic.

Rumors have circulated, based on information from captured Mortis members, that there is research planned for tapping the power of souls that have not found the shelter of a god, but the degree of success of this effort and whether this is on-going is not known. | Rumors have circulated, based on information from captured Mortis members, that there is research planned for tapping the power of souls that have not found the shelter of a god, but the degree of success of this effort and whether this is on-going is not known. | ||

Lucinda and [[Ilsare]], friends in the heavens and both with a depth of passion for what they do, mirrors the other. This new gathering celebrates both faiths, freely mixing [[spellsinging]], [[spellweaving]], and archery in a potent mix. Begun by an Ilsarian sect called the [[Heartsong]] Archers, one of the founding members is Docet Ricketbarker who came to his faith in Lucinda through that group. He uses his position as head of the Spellgard Presage to spread the word when he can. With his visibility, the sect has gained acceptance and members. | Lucinda and [[Ilsare]], friends in the heavens and both with a depth of passion for what they do, mirrors the other.
