The current leader of the kraul is a death priest named Mazirek.

Rites Physical and mental discipline are important virtues of the Path of Light. Martial arts and guided meditation become a form of devotion and prayer. A kalashtar priest conducts services
telepathically, using shrines designed to amplify psychic abilities and allowing them to share thoughts and images directly with the congregation. To an outsider, a service can appear silent and tranquil despite being an ecstatic experience for the faithful.

Gnomes “Five words can defeat a thousand swords.”
—Zil proverb
Gnomes possess a love of knowledge that many would describe as lust. Most gnomes hate physical violence and prefer to solve their
