Black Scripture

漆黒聖典 · World & History · Organizations

The Slane Theocracy's strongest unit: 12 (13) members, all hero-class and equipped with gear left by the gods, tasked with countering the Catastrophe Dragon Lord's revival and guarding World Items; nearly anyone in the Theocracy who reaches the realm of heroes is recruited here.

They wear magic masks to disguise their faces in action; their overseer, Earth Cardinal Raymond, is a former 3rd Seat (Vol. 10)
Extra Seat "Zesshi Zetsumei": the half-elf Antilene, the Theocracy's strongest; 1st Seat (Captain): a godkin awakened to "player" blood, carrying a shabby spear
Known seats: 3rd "Four Great Spirits", 5th Quaiesse (Clementine's brother; "One-Man Army" is his Web novel title), 7th "Thousand Leagues Astrologer", 8th "Giant Shield Myriad Walls" Cedran, 9th "Divine Domain Binding Chains" Beaumarchais, 10th (a barbarian; "humanity's strongest" in the Web novel), 11th "Infinite Magic"; the 12th is an assassin more skilled than Tia and Tina
In Vol. 3 they escorted Kaire and Downfall of Castle and Country and encountered Shalltear; 2 members died (later revived) and Kaire was gravely wounded
In Vol. 10 the Thousand Leagues Astrologer despaired after watching the Katze Plains massacre and shut herself away; her ability let the Theocracy detect the Sorcerer Kingdom's invasion of the Kingdom (Vol. 15)
In Vol. 14 the 5th, 10th, 11th, and 12th Seats infiltrated the Kingdom to poach skilled adventurers; Clementine is the defected former 9th Seat "Swift Strider"
Infinite Magic was once arrogant about being a hero, but after the Extra Seat beat him badly in the name of training, he became fearful and servile toward her

Notes

In the story of the mobile game OVERLORD: MASS FOR THE DEAD, the Black Scripture was wiped out after failing a mission concerning the "Rift" anomaly, and some members could not be revived (game setting).
