Editing Ksarul (section)

==Creating a Ksarulite Character==

All members of the Temple of Ksarul must take '''Secret 1''' as one of their defects - they must do their best to conceal their true circle number and be careful as to who they reveal their true sect to. It is not unknown for a person to profess alleigance to one sect while really being allied to another.

All members of the Temple must have at least a familiarity with the '''Deception''' skill. Telling lies to conceal the truth of their deities secret tenets is a religious duty to Ksarulites.

All Administrative priests must have '''Admin 1''', Scholars at least one Scholar skill and Ritual priests '''Ritual of Ksarul 1'''. At least a familiarity with the Theology of Ksarul is also a requirement.

Temple Guards are also expected to be at least partially literate with a familiarity in reading, '''Tsolyani: Written'''; certainly no one will be promoted beyond changadesha (private) without this skill, Ksarul is a god of knowledge after all. Ksarul favours the chidok and the crossbow as weapons, the former for its utility in enclosed spaces such as the Underworld, the latter for defending the often fortress-like temples from assault by the fearful and ignorant. Ksarulite soldiers are also often well schooled in the subtle arts of military engineering, artillery and seige warfare rather than in full frontal assault and set-piece battle.

Adherents may also learn the skill '''Scholar:Cryptography 1''', but the '''Tongue of the Priests of Ksarul''' is limited to members of the Inner Sphere. The GM will decide who starts the game as members of this august and subtle organisation. 

Also available is the skill '''Knowledge: Creatures of Ksarul''', which allows people to interact with servitor beasts such as Hra, Mrur, Qol, Thunru'u and Vorodla without fear.

There are several specializms of the '''Theology of Ksarul'''; ''Outer Doctrines, Secrets of the Refulgent Blue Curtain, Path of the Blue Light, Ndalu Clan Secrets''. The ''Inner Doctrines'' are only available to persons of 7th or higher circle, and the ''True Doctrines'' can only be learned by Inner Sphere members who know the Tongue of the Priests of Ksarul.

Higher circle scholars (12th+) may be able to learn '''Language: Sunuz''' and '''Scholar: Pariah Gods''' at the GMs discretion, but will not reveal such knowledge to those outside the temple, and to precious few within it if they value their lives!
