Nominis Umbrae

In the dark, shadowy alleyways and corners of the Realms lurk the Nominis
Umbrae, a dangerous, chaotic cult.  Having spent a nearly endless amount of 
time in study of The Void, or "The Shadow", as they often call it, they
proclaim their endless devotion to it.  Much like shadows "create" and
"destroy" things simply by moving and revealing or obscuring them, so the
Nominis Umbrae belive the void acts, revealing and obscuring ideas, people,
places, and even entire civilizations within a murky black grip.

Their beliefs hold that The Void calls for the recycling of blood back into the
Earth in order to create new life.  Further, they believe that while this is
a natural cycle that will complete itself on its own, that they can usher the
process along more quickly by increasing the flow, and will be rewarded by
The Void with high-priest positions within this newly-created world.  As their
sacred texts' predictions of the End of Days begin to align with the celestial
calendar of their sacred monument, they have begun to appear in full force to 
the point where sightings of them carrying out their gruesome tasks while 
chanting prayer "In the name of The Shadow" have become common enough to have 
earned them their nickname.
