Disciples of the Gods

These people can only be called fanatics of the grandest sort. They believe in all the Gods, worship them all, and feel the Balance must be upheld to the strictest of standards. One day they may be aiding the side of Light and the next the side of Dark if they feel the Balance needs to be turned back toward the middle.

As contradictory as this may seem, they follow all the doctrines of all the Gods. Clearly some of these will chafe against others, but this clear fact doesn't seem to phase them. If one day they need to protect and innocent, they will cite Aiyana's doctrine. If the next they need to steal something, they cite Sircarius' doctrine.

Started in Ariella, they have become a thorn in everyone's side. They are, at best, mercenaries, at worst they are fanatics who would give their life for their beliefs, no matter how deluded.

A party of characters may come across them in their travels as enemy one time and a friend the next. Which side they appear to be on at the moment is up to you. I would make them Ariellan, though northern converts can be amongst them, mostly men, and the classes of fighter or priest (the title of Mage in my world).

The Disciples of the Gods sound like fun characters to read about since their allegiance is so flexible. Combined with the degree of their fanaticism, Disciples sound like very dangerous and unpredictable folks.
