::  The Priest of Shadow is chagrined that his dark master has not exposed the coiling serpents in the Order’s midst, but dares not ask for aid in this matter for fear of appearing weak. Rumors among the Devout speculate that the Cabal is led by a council of the most ancient legates, greater legates long ensconced in undeath, and some even suggest that '''Beirial''' himself guides this inner circle from the depths of some black crypt. If the order’s founding father does indeed still walk upon Aryth, he has not been seen in two and a half thousand years, and '''his tomb lies empty not far from the ruins of Bandilrin'''. The crumbling monastery and its attendant catacombs are haunted by hordes of the Shunned Mother tribe and by twisted spirits and foul demons summoned by a dark and nameless force that has been master in the birthplace of the Order of Shadow for over a century. Sunulael suspects that Beirial does still exist and worse, has formed an alliance with his greatest rival, Ardherin, Sorcerer of Shadow.  <br> <br> Since its beginnings in the First Age at the remote monastery of Bandilrin, the Order of Shadow has spread like a poisonous cloud through the lands of Eredane: in its touch was corruption and where it passed suffering and death followed. During the First Age, the legates, led by Beirial the Betrayer, marshaled their forces in the secret places of the Highhorn Mountains and desolate wastes of the Northern Marches. They explored new vistas of power granted by the returning strength of their dark god, and their ranks were swollen with those who felt the call of evil in their blighted souls and followed its siren song into the north. In the war that ended the age, Izrador’s legates wielded his divine might to terrifying effect and the lands were scorched and defiled by black magics. Yet despite his dark power, their god was defeated at the Battle of Three Kingdoms and the order was fractured, the survivors fleeing into the hinterlands to rebuild their strength.
 
  
::  '''Beirial''':  It is rumored that the original founder of the Order of Shadow lairs in the ruins of Bandilrin as a lich. Ardherin believes that the first legate would make an excellent ally against Sunulael, and so has dispatched a contingent of powerful agents to scour Bandilrin and contact any Trapped or Lost there in an attempt to locate Beirial. Information leading to Beirial’s exact location would be strongly rewarded, and if contact can be made with the ancient priest, there are few prices Ardherin would not pay to bring the lich into his fold.
 
 
:: Keepers of Obsidian
 
:::  Masters of the Zordrafin Corith; Keepers of Forbidden Lore Grand Master of the Mirror:
 
:::  Guardians of the oldest grand mirrors, the Black Five have served Izrador since the time of Beirial and watch the clumsy machinations of their inferiors with cold amusement. The Black Five are amongst the most powerful of the Cabal and periodically purge the lower ranks of Devout infiltrators. The control of the grand mirrors in Cambrial and Sharuun by greater legates outside the Keepers of Obsidian is a source of concern for the Five, particularly as these high priests are of the Devout.
