Editing Doom of Daruma (section)

===The Seekers===

The Seekers are what remain of the true lore masters of Daruma. Little more than a handful of daring adventurers, they listen to the oracle and strive to collect the artifacts of the demiurges to stave off the doom. They alone possess the knowledge, albeit in riddles and stories about which they debate amongst one another, of the true gods who were banished. The demiurges locked away the gods, stealing the very divinity of Daruma, which the wise agree is the cause of the Falling. The moon’s course is now altered. Tempests surge and the earth trembles in protest. The Doom will yield to the Unmaking unless the wisdom and artifacts are unlocked to return divinity to the realms.

The beleaguered organization has been stymied by not only outside influences — the fall of many of its hereos, incursions by warlords, tyrants and usurpers who destroy or grasp antiquities from Seeker Temples for their own evil uses — but also from within. Spies from despotic realms undermine their efforts. The Seekers have dwindled to a miserable fraction of its once esteemed membership. The group now dances on the margin of oblivion. Furthermore, even the Seekers themselves sabotage one another’s efforts arising from a dissonance between a growing number of doctrines.
