Fallen Bishop

The Fallen Bishops take their name from the title granted to them by the Cathedral upon their excommunication. The Bishops serve the Basilica as the mortal voices of their god. They have even been known to allow sacrificing their bodies, so that the spirit of their god my inhabit it and walk among the mortal. This is rare, because in mortal form, the god could easily be slain, and when this does happen there is usually a large honor guard of Nightfall Council as well as the gods most loyal servants. Since they can have no public presence in the world, the Bishops remain trapped in the Basilica using go-betweens and sorcery to communicate with their followers. They do however command a great deal of power and influence within the basilica and the direction of the faith.
