======Adherents of the Great Cycle======

**Faction Leader(s):** [[Paavali|Paavali Kuomeni]]
**Headquarters:** No centralized headquarters but have lodges throughout the Dreaming
----
Adherents protect the cycle of life and death, the [[Aether]] and [[Erebus]], and watch over their communities. They are not as structured as other factions in the Dreaming but Adherents tend to fall into one of three paths:

//Wayfinders// keep the path of the soul safe and guard their communities against nightmares and other creatures that prey on the world. 

__Known Wayfinders:__

//Gardeners// tend to the health of the living and aim to ease their burdens so they will not one day become lost on the path to the Underworld. 

__Known Gardeners:__

//Shepherds// focus on the spiritual wellbeing of their communities and they often take on the role of advisor.

__Known Shepherds:__

**Oath of the Adherents:** “I swear to uphold Balance in all of its forms. I will stay true to the Great Cycle and the tenets of its Adherents. I will protect the souls of the living and the dead.”

The current tenets are:
  - Better the lives of communities and citizens within those communities.
  - The Balance between life, death, and everything in between is to be maintained and encouraged
  - All skills are useful and should be encouraged to grow.
