This order is purported to espouse the cause of the indigenous peoples of the Reaches as the rightful rulers of the land, claiming superiority of that race above all others, and embracing evil as the only hope of achieving its ends. Supposedly the Dark Path is the fruition of these aims. Brothers are reportedly hiding as trusted advisors or henchmen in many courts and castles in the Reaches, spying for their master and ready to strike. The Dark Path is tripartite according to tales told, with thieves, assassins and monks in their ranks. The leader of the thieves is known as the Elder Cousin with other thieves known as Cousins. The leader of the assassins is known as the Foster Uncle with his henchmen known as Nephews. The temple and monastery of the Dark Path is supposedly a fortress and walled town unto itself, guarded by soldiers which are being readied for future conquest.
