Profaners were once loyal clerics, who had more ardour for material wealth and pleasures of the flesh than they did in faithfulness. Cursed for their perfidy, they have become abominable creatures, repulsive to all who witness them, and despised by all the gods.
Profaners slither about their former temples upon loathsome tentacles, often still clothed in remnants of their religious finery and bearing their ceremonial objects and marks of their station. They radiate a strong aura of unholiness, which affects even followers of evil gods, and have mastery over many unholy creatures. Hooks:
