LUCITES
An offshoot of the Skyholme Astromancers are the Lucties.
There are a much darker sort than their breathen and are
universally revivled for their practices. They claim to have seen
the “truth” in a falling star. That true power can only be gained
by inflicting pain and suffering onto others.
Darkside force useres of the worst sort, they act like the Sith
of Legend and spend their days exclusively exploring the
dark side of the force and the dangerous arts held within.
Their towers are known as horrid places from which few
ever return. A meeting with a Lucite is an easy way to meet
ones end.

must meditate for an hour to “prepare” their Force usage
for the day. They can make three “charges” for their “spells”
to last them the day. Using a spell without a charge results

Morality drops. (While a character can buy off this
drawback, it does not affect their existing Morality score).
CENDIARY PRIESTS
Operating out of Fume, Cendiary Priests are an order of
engineers who use the force in their duties. As knowledge of
how to maintence technology was lost to time on Weik, the
Cendiary Priest mastered an art that would allow them to
continue maintence throughout the planet.
To the Sith, they would be masters of Mechu-deru, the art

of using the force to alter and influence inanimate objects,
like machines. But, to the Cendiary Priests, they are simply
masters of “healing” the machines and helping them return
to their full “health.”
They are also known as master blacksmiths as anything they

force is better than anything made by normal hands. No
doubt, an effect of their Mechu-deru.
The main restriction on Cendiary Priests is that they may

not use their gifts for monetary gain. They must survive off
alms. It is common practice on Weik that any blacksmith
must house a Cendiary Priest for a week for a week’s work in
the Forge.
