Caligni Caller
Although the mysterious demigods known as the Forsaken disappeared eons ago, many calignis continue to follow their ancient traditions of worship. Owbs, once the Forsaken's servants, still respond to caligni prayers. Caligni callers serve as the priests of their communities, calling upon these shadowy owb patrons for guidance, favors, and power. Their most important ceremony, the blanching, determines the potential of most newborn calignis and shapes their eventual forms.Due to their close ties to the malevolent owbs, most callers exhibit cruel and inscrutable natures. They often lead caligni enclaves alongside caligni stalkers as spiritual advisors. Callers tend to be highly superstitious, seeing omens everywhere, and they avoid revealing details of their rituals even to other calignis.

Caligni
Source Monster Core pg. 48 1.1Calignis lurk in subterranean cities, with each caligni growing into a specific role and form determined by supernatural influences in caligni society. Regardless of their size or role, all calignis are gaunt, with pale flesh and white eyes. Many relish the chance to creep above ground at night to steal
Caligni Faiths
Some calignis have abandoned their traditional faith in favor of more active deities; evil individuals favor Norgorber or Zon-Kuthon, while the less malevolent might follow Nocticula or Pharasma. Perhaps unexpectedly, Desna also has a small caligni following, particularly among those who frequently travel.
Darkening Poison
Many calignis keep several doses of darkening poison, an uncommon injury poison made from Darklands spider venom, on hand to incapacitate foes. A dose of darkening poison costs 5 gp, is of light Bulk, is held in 2 hands, and has the following statistics.Saving Throw DC 16 Fortitude; Maximum Duration 6 rounds; Stage 1 1d6 poison (1 round); Stage 2 1d6 poison and creatures you can see only with darkvision are concealed from you (1 round); Stage 3 1d6 poison and creatures you can see only with darkvision are hidden from you (1 round)
The Caligni Legacy
The calignis are descendants of humans who, millennia ago, fled underground to escape a devastating cataclysm and begged for salvation from malevolent, shadowy demigods known only as the Forsaken. The Forsaken warped the refugees into tough survivors, but at a price: every caligni that dies transforms into energy as a scrap of their soul feeds the Forsaken. The Forsaken themselves later vanished despite these offerings, leaving shadowy proxies to shape calignis and their culture.
