The Listeners - the Blues

Crew

The Listeners of the Voice is an expansive cult in Daria from which many of the city's more peculiar customs originate, revering an enigmatic eldricht god said to inhabit the bottom of the sea. The Listeners are those who are said to be able to hear the "voice" of the Thunder Sea, listening for warnings of danger from both the elements and the monsters inhabiting the depths of the ocean, performing strange rites and providing offerings for their unseen deity. Stemming from a renounced Hoan faith, their current leader, First Listener and Admiral Ora, nevertheless hails from the indigenous population after feeling the Voice's calling.

Sometimes known as 'the Blues' for the blue colour of their sails and the sashes given to the initiated Listeners of the cult, they have a long and established place in Daria as interpretters of the sea's omens and caretakers of history surrounding the honoured dead whose final resting place lies under the sea. Feared as much as they are respected, the secretive nature of the Listeners has inspired many horror stories of what their rites entail away from the eyes of outsiders and there are enough evidence to suggest at least some of it is true. 

While serving as spiritual guides and keepers of tradition the Listeners hold sway over the people of Daria in a way unlike the accepted clergies of Aranor does, they exist largely apart from Darian politics except to maintain the ways of the cit and focus inwardly on their own affairs. What exactly they do to appease the Voice from Below is only for outsiders to guess.
