Editing Lanbril (section)

==Nature of the Cult==
Lanbril is a cult of the criminal underworld in human societies across the world. Trolls, elves, and dwarfs do not often embrace Lanbril, but the god is not unknown among these races, especially by those who have been tainted by contact with humans. He is the deity to whom thieves and criminals may turn for concealment and improvement of skills. 

Lanbril, the patron of sneaks, criminals, and of the human underworld, is the expression of all egotistical and antisocial acts which must be done covertly. Any being, mortal or immortal, who acts in this manner may come under the guidance and protection of Lanbril. The nature of human society is such that Lanbril always finds followers. 

This covert cult exists in natural counterpoise to centralizing and ordering forces in society. The stronger the social order, the better the chances for Lanbril thieves. (This creates a natural conflict with Krarsht, who seeks the replacement of Order with Control.) Paradoxically, the Lanbril gangs often regularize the criminal element. Lanbril cultists do not advertise themselves, and are not known to society at large, except as thieves, who provide training in certain skills. The notorious Black Fang of Pavis was a Lanbril cultist during part of his mortal term. 

Lanbril supports any established legal and economic order which permits proper conditions for his cult. Therefore most rings do not work as revolutionary agents against an established hierarchy. Most thieves are vocally patriotic, and defend their tribe or town against enemies.

Lanbril likes secrecy, trickery, and treachery to be applied by his followers to established society. Lanbril is not pleased by internecine strife, or violence for its own sake, since many criminal endeavors require precise and trusting co-operation for their success.
