Category:The Iron Book

History The name the Iron Book comes from the acts of an early scholar, who sealed a Book of Hell by encasing it in molten iron. Given demon and devilkind's weakness to the hardy metal, this one act is rumored to have prevented a demon lord's return to Ea's surface, though the Book is uncertain who. They assume the event was successful.

Description The Iron Book is a low-key organization composed of members from around the globe. Composed of a mixture of the faithful, its purpose is the study of demon and devilkind (this means ranks in knowledge/the planes), with an aim towards their eradication. The Book delves into dangerous areas and power is seductive; what else led to the fall of Taara's Shadow Children? Actual practice of the arts they study then, is anathema. Without this missive, most temples would not allow them to operate.

Leadership and Ares of Influence The head of the organization is a Navosian monk. Her best friend and assistant is a sorcerer marked by demonic taint and student of the Temples. Her friend's condition actually spurred the monk's interest in the subject, with the goal of one day curing these sorts of taints. This sorcerer herself is in actuality a friend of Madame Gelfure, who eyes the friendship with amusement and some worry. The Iron Book is a secretive organization, devoted to research and the elimination of demons and devils from the earth. There are few formal gatherings, if any, and knowledge of it is more rumor than fact (it's not something brought up in casual conversation); it is unheard of outside of the Temples. Most of its "organizing" actually takes place via oversight--through the Sunguards, Hearthguards, or other oversight groups. This was developed early on as a safeguard, which means the order is essentially powerless.
