Yabani Shepherds

The powerful Yabani Shepherds faction of the Eternal Brotherhood is the self-appointed arm of the moralist mosques of Yaban and their imams, a group that Sajal Narhan the Shadow Caliph must always at least appear to defer to if he is to retain the loyalty of his followers. In fact, Melina Helou, the moralist priestess who leads the faction, is a bit of a rogue. Most moralist priests are not willing to support the assassins who kill enlightened people in the name of their god; though the most rabid priests may cheer them in private, they denounce them publicly. A number of the faction's members are priests, though most of the citadel guards are also loyal to the Shepherds (insofar as anyone cares about their opinion), usually because their officers are supporters.
Helou's faction includes six priests around twenty five warriors, all darkly tanned from hours spent staring from the ramparts at the horizon. The warriors of the have high self esteem, excellent training, and an unbreakable loyalty to Meliq Isban, Helou's closest ally and chief enforcer. Many of them crossed the desert with Helou, but their loyalty to Isban has been forged in battle against the desert tribes.
