The Faith of the Overseer is a religion centered in Martira Bay in Darkon. It is centered at the Temple of Eternal Balance, and led by High Cleric Derakoth, though he is merely a manipulated figurehead. In reality, the faith is an experiment in societal control by Tavelia and the Kargat.
History
The Faith of the Overseer was first established by the Kargat in 650 BC.[1][2] Tavelia was the one most responsible for its creation, having woven the dogma of the church from bits of various outlander religions and stuck them into the Doctrinae, the Faith's central text.[3]
At some point in the 8th century BC, Tavelia found Derakoth ambling about and eventually groomed him to be the figurehead leader of the faith.[3] By the time the second of the Doomsday Gazetteers was written, Derakoth has served this role for three decades.[4]
In 755 BC Tavelia attempted to take control of her former master Azalin Rex as his corporeal form was restored, but her attempt failed.[5] Following her fall from grace, Tavelia disappeared. Despite the loss of the Faith's secret founder and former leader, the Overseer's worship continues. High Cleric Derakoth, a deluded Lost One whom is the religion's only true believer among the clergy, holds genuine sorrow over Tavelia's apparent disappearance.[3]
