Adjanite Order

• Also know as the Sisters of Ithaenc<ref name="Aerlinthe Record">2000/07 - To Raise a Banner of Flame - Aerlinthe Record</ref> , the Adjanite Heretics<ref name="Aerlinthe Record">2000/07 - To Raise a Banner of Flame - Aerlinthe Record</ref> and the Adjanite Sisterhood / Adjanite Sisterhood of Ithaenc<ref name=Textbook>2001/02 Lonely in the World - A Text Book</ref>.
• Founded by Lady Adja<ref name="Aerlinthe Record">2000/07 - To Raise a Banner of Flame - Aerlinthe Record</ref><ref name=DM>Dark Majesty--Harvestgain, PY 12 (Mid-October, 2001)</ref>
• Based in Ithaenc Cathedral<ref name="Aerlinthe Record">2000/07 - To Raise a Banner of Flame - Aerlinthe Record</ref>
• The priestesses of the Adjanite Order made a practice of taming and training the Moarsmen. A small army of Moarsmen guard the catacombs of Ithaenc Cathedral. They were present in the tunnels when the Catacombs first opened in Leafcull of P.Y. 11, implying that they have been performing the same role for centuries.<ref>AC:DM CD Lore/Bestiary/Derethian Bestiary</ref>
• The Adjanite Sisterhood looked upon the Light Falatacot or "Hidden Sisterhood" for inspiration ??<ref name="Luciana du Maki">2008/08 - Ancient Powers - Luciana du Maki#Lore & Dialog</ref>

• Also the Light Falatacot had a strong tie to the Moarsmen.<ref>2010/06 Shifting Gears - Moarsman (Town Network Painting)</ref>

There are a few hints in the records that the Adjanite Order did indeed practice Falatacot magics, even Blood Magic

• Lady Adja is accused by Rajael Fellarien of using dark (blood?) magic involving slaying creatures and using her own flesh seeking power.<ref name="Desinence">Desinence</ref>
• Lady Adja is also responsible for teaching Lady Maila, Asheron's mother how to transfer her life force to Asheron.<ref>2000/11 - Should the Stars Fall - Translated Letter (Tear-Stained Parchment)</ref><ref>AC:DM CD Lore/Late Dereth Texts/Communion</ref>
• Asheron's prolonged life is due to Falatacot magic.
• Some of their tales "were not told by the church and also heretical".<ref>2003/05 - Discoveries - Prophecies</ref>

• Destroyed by order of Nali Valind of the Northern Church in HE 347/348:<ref name="Aerlinthe Record">2000/07 - To Raise a Banner of Flame - Aerlinthe Record</ref>

Nali Valind decreed that the Sisters of Ithaenc were irreversibly contaminated by the teachings of the Falatacot and declared them heretics.<ref name=HistAubIII>The History of Auberean/Volume III: The Fall From Grace (-1,804 to -891)</ref> She called out for the extirpation of the Adjanite heretics, and Ithaenc Cathedral was sacked and desecrated.<ref name=AerlintheRecord>2000/07 - To Raise a Banner of Flame - Aerlinthe Record</ref> The pilgrims that answer Valind's call slaughtered the Sisters, putting some to the sword while others were burned at the stake. The only thing left behind by the crusaders was the shattered shell of the Ithaenc Cathedral.<ref name=HistAubIII>The History of Auberean/Volume III: The Fall From Grace (-1,804 to -891)</ref>

• The destruction of the Order led to the disappearance of the last Gromnatross, Aurlanaa, from Aerlinthe.<ref>2003/05 Discoveries - The Departure of Aurlanaa</ref>
