-{{ wiki:kismet.png}} Kismet is said to have been the Lady of Magic since time forgotten. During the Sundering, she was trapped in stasis within the ShadowGate upon its activation and was believed to have died, with mere mortal taking up her portfolio. The rediscovery of the ShadowGate in 737SG led to her release and the Gate's activation, casting the old pantheon down from divinity. Retaining most of her powers due to activating the Gate herself, she maintained the stability of the weave and the fugue throughout the resulting chaos. She restored her claim to her domains of old, and ascended back to her status as guardian of knowledge and magic thereafter.+Kismet is said to have been the Lady of Magic since time forgotten.

 ===== Regards to Undead ===== ===== Regards to Undead =====
  
-No official stance upon undead and its use, or prohibition thereof, is given by the faith. Given that all knowledge and magic are part of Kismet's domain, undead are certainly considered acceptable by many within her church. +The Church of Kismet has no official stance on the use of undead, though it recognizes that the widespread use of such magic causes harm to all natural life. All knowledge and magic are part of Kismet’s domain, and so the use of undead may be considered acceptable by some and an afront to all life by others. Even those that make regular use of undead understand that it is a practice abhorred in most societies and will take care not to do so openly or wantonly to avoid persecution.

   * __Keepers of the Art__: The most accomplished arcanists within the faith gather to ensure the protection and evolution of magic in all of its forms. Many serve as teachers for young magi and sorcerers that show promise.   * __Keepers of the Art__: The most accomplished arcanists within the faith gather to ensure the protection and evolution of magic in all of its forms.

   * __The Enlightened__: Psionic spellcasters who seek to both further their own insight, and encourage that of their fellows. They look to inspiration from Auppenser's life and teachings, holding him up as an example of their aspirations.   * __The Enlightened__: Psionic spellcasters who seek to both further their own insight, and encourage that of their fellows.

 +  * __The Feathers__: An order of information brokers and covert scholars who work to ensure knowledge flows freely despite political or social barriers. They operate in the shadows to recover lost texts, liberate suppressed research, and make forgotten knowledge available to worthy seekers. While their methods may appear questionable to outsiders, they serve as Kismet's instruments for breaking down artificial barriers to learning and ensuring no knowledge is permanently lost to the world.
