Greetings, mortals,

I've been watching the Shaman's development from the First Days of their
inception. I am pleased at the progress they have made in Dark
philosophy, Dark theology, novice training, and other fields. Their
collective grasp of the Mysteries of the Dark Religion has amazed Me.
With this post, I formally recognize them as a lay organization of the
Dark Religion. The clergy, is of course, the members of My Order. Should
anyone have questions about the Mysteries of Darkness, I encourage you
to seek out a member of the Laity or a member of the Clergy.
Congratulations, Shamans!

In Darkness,
Lord Twilight, the Thrice Great
