Kardis
Characteristics
- Theme: Sorrow
- Opposition: Adendra and the Sul-Gali Priests
- Race Restrictions: Half-Orc, Half-Ogre, Half-Troll, Tiefling
- Class Restrictions: Thieves, Warriors, Augurers
- Align Restrictions: Neutral or Evil only
I'm not actually 100% sure how the Align restriction works, if it applies to devotion or just gaining favor. The help file states:
Kardis only offers favor to those who keep closely to the line of neutral and evil.
I'll test it eventually.
Benefits
| Deity | Sigil Stat (+1) | Max Favor Resist | Max Favor Affect | Mid Favor Affect | Low Favor Affect | Sigil Rename | Super Sigil | Extra Crap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kardis | Str | Pierce | DetInvis | Sneak | ? | Grievance | Strife | Kardis's potion of black vapors |
Favor
- Gain Favor: Kill, Dig Up Corpses
- Lose Favor: Sac Corpses, Bury Corpses, Flee.
So, traditional 'kill & sac' deity most likely.
You can try the bury/dig corpse method similar to A'enari, just have another char do the burying and then dig it up.
However, the help file does say "Killing is the only way to appease this dark goddess" so I bet the 'dig' method takes longer.

Notes:
The Naos is easier to get to, and should probably be the primary site for devoting to Kardis.
Priest
The Revisionist
Help File: REVISIONIST REVISIONISTS 'THE REVISIONISTS'
The mob is actually named 'a Priest of Sorrow'
The man is thin as a rail and not a single trace of emotion seems to have ever crossed his face. He wears a cloak of deepest black without so much as a single speck of dust to be seen on it. One of the Revisionists, this dour priest's presence can only bode ill for any who come into contact with him. A priest of Sorrow is in perfect health. A priest of Sorrow is using: <used as light> Strife <worn about body> the black cloak of Sorrow <wielded> (Glowing) A short sword named 'Sorrow'

Room Entry: He repeatedly casts this "sinners curse" on you.
[sinners cur;-004 LCK ; 1185 rds] [sinners cur;-004 STR ; 1185 rds] [sinners cur;-004 DEX ; 1185 rds]
This spell is non-dispel'able. You must let it expire naturally, or suicide to get rid of it. Dispel amulet, potions, etc, will not remove it.
