Dark Lantern

Regional Trait: Dark Lantern

Special: Region of Origin: Breland, must not be illiterate or affiliated with a religion, Must swear loyalty directly to the Brelish Crown.

You are a member of Breland's intelligence and espionage agency, the Dark Lanterns. Having sworn loyalty to the crown of Breland above all else, the service you are sworn to has enabled you access to certain resources.

 You are given necessary forged identification papers and travel documents to complete your assignments abroad, as well as money to cover bare expenses such as food and shelter. You may take refuge in any Brelish embassy or Citadel safehouse. (Such safehouses are difficult to find and may require skilled tracking or information gathering.)

You can also tap into the intelligence network of Dark Lantern agents, hidden Brelish Nationals, and other sympathizers for use as informants and couriers. Finding one such party requires a check to gather information, the difficulty of which is based on the size of a settlement.

Dark Lanterns use a variety of potions, wands,  alchemical, and poisonous items to complete their missions. So long as they can locate a headquarters or safehouse in a settlement, you may purchase such items there.

Agents operating within Breland's borders also possess a Citadel signet ring or cloak pin that they may openly wear as a  badge of office when not working undercover.

The oaths of the Dark Lanterns are summarized below:

I hereby swear fealty to the Brelish crown and pledge my loyalty to the king above all.

I hereby vow to protect and serve Breland, its ruling monarch, and its citizenry and dedicate my life to thwarting those who conspire against them.

I hereby vow to perform my duty to king and country to the best of my ability, and not allow other duties, obligations, or loyalties to interfere with this duty.

I hereby swear to guard any and all secrets of the Brelish crown, the King's Citadel, and the King's Dark Lanterns until death takes me, and beyond into the next life.

I understand that by breaking any of these oaths, I sever my allegiance to the Brelish crown, whereupon I may be branded a traitor and rightfully incarcerated or executed for treason, by order of the king.
