Headquarters: The church maintains no true central headquarters, although several outposts vie for the title. Bolstered by their evil deity’s new focus, the Cyricists work harder than ever to promote his goals. Since that time he has regained his senses, consolidated his power, and encouraged a renewed fervor in his church. The madness and megalomania this caused weakened him further. He later made the mistake of reading the Cyrinishad, a magical book of his own creation that caused the reader to believe that Cyric was the most important being in the universe. This weakened his power and the authority of his church. Through divine events he himself orchestrated, Cyric lost the portfolio of tyranny to Xvim, much of Myrkul’s portfolio to Kelemvor, and caused the destruction of Zhentil Keep, at that time one of the largest concentrations of his own worshipers. His meteoric rise from orphan to deity would eventually suffer several dramatic plummets before his power stabilized at its current level. During the Time of Troubles, he rose to godhood and inherited the divine portfolios of Bane, Bhaal, and Myrkul, the deities of tyranny, murder, and death. As a young adult, he fell in with a thieves’ guild and learned to fight during his travels. Likewise, its members are hard to predict and incorrigible in their evil, some willing to betray their fellows for their own gain, others more likely to lie their way through a situation until they can murder their captors and escape.īorn to a lower-class woman in Zhentil Keep (presumed by Cyric’s detractors to be a prostitute), the mortal Cyric never knew his parents and was sold into slavery after his mother was killed when he was very young. Because it is by and large a chaotic organization, its members often act independently or in small groups with little or no knowledge of each other, making the church very hard to combat. Others embrace this dark deity because they hope his philosophy of supremacy and power will empower them as well.Ĭyric’s church is a large cult with members in every city. Even loyalty to their church is tenuous at best in the face of destruction. Worshipers of Cyric include murderers, liars, spies, traitors, and assassins with no loyalty to anyone except themselves. The most devout followers of the Prince of Lies are willing to give their lives for their cause, and often do so if they can take others with them. The church of Cyric is a fanatical organization devoted to the deity of murder, treachery, and deception. Omitted information is available on request via private messages.

Trivia To fix this, rezone back into Talmark Wilderness without those players. However, it will be mostly deserted (there will be a short monologue about this once you enter the deserted camp).Īnomaly.If anyone in your party has unlocked Lion's Arch Keep, Salma, Evennia and Bartholos will not spawn, preventing progress in the War in Kryta content.
