Designer Notes: This race was to be part of a novel I wanted to write but it never got past the world development stage. I just wasn't sure what the story was really about outside a "hero's journey". Expect an edit to this post in the near future where I provide the race with some much needed fluff.
The Sect are designed for use in Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition by Wizards of the Coast.
