- "He is that which is end. That which covets sin. The final god of pain—the purest light, the darkest hour. And He shall rise again. When the guiding shine fades and all seems lost He will call to you. Fear not. All He offers is not as dark as it may seem. For Nezarec is no demon, but a fiend, arch and vile in ways unknown. He is a path and a way, one of many. And his sin—so wicked, so divine—is that he will never cower when dusk does fall, but stand vigilant as old stars die and new Light blinks its first upon this fêted eternity."
- — Passage from Of Hated Nezarec [2]
The Acolytes of Nezarec are a cult of individuals from various species who worship and serve the ancient Disciple known as Nezarec.
History
The Acolytes of Nezarec have existed since long before the Golden Age, with Mykel's family having served him for many generations as of the post-Collapse era. The tome Of Hated Nezarec, which predates the Golden Age, was likely written by the Acolytes; Mykel's family is known to have possessed a large leatherbound book describing Nezarec, presumably none other than Of Hated Nezarec itself.[1]
Post-Collapse and City Age
When he turned eighteen, Mykel experienced a nightmare from Nezarec, and was inducted into the Acolytes by one of his family members, who instructed him to torture a Fallen prisoner in order to "extract its fear". At some point, Mykel became the leader of the Acolytes and came into possession of Of Hated Nezarec.[1][3]
Later on, the Psion Acasia[4][5], the Eliksni Koraxis,[6][7] and the former Lightbearer Briar[8][9] were conscripted into the Acolytes by a member bearing a large leatherbound tome; inferring to be Mykel.
At one point, the Acolytes had tracked the discovery of one of the disciple's scattered remains, which was enshrined in his titular Fourth Tomb. However, it would be stolen by the Drifter as part of a job.[10]
