* The Adjanite Sisterhood looked upon the [[Light Falatacot]] or "[[Hidden Sisterhood]]" for inspiration ??<ref name="Luciana du Maki">2008/08 - [[Ancient Powers]] - [[Luciana du Maki#Lore & Dialog]]</ref>
::* Also the [[Light Falatacot]] had a strong tie to the Moarsmen.<ref>2010/06 [[Shifting Gears]] - [[Moarsman (Town Network Painting)]]</ref>
::There are a few hints in the records that the Adjanite Order did indeed practice Falatacot magics, even [[Blood Magic]]
::* Lady [[Adja]] is accused by [[Rajael Fellarien]] of using dark (blood?) magic involving slaying creatures and using her own flesh seeking power.<ref name="Desinence">[[Microsoft Zone Archive/Asheron's Lore/Desinence|Desinence]]</ref> 
::* Lady [[Adja]] is also responsible for teaching [[Lady Maila]], Asheron's mother how to transfer her life force to [[Asheron]].<ref>2000/11 - [[Should the Stars Fall]] - [[Translated Letter (Tear-Stained Parchment)]]</ref><ref>[[AC:DM CD Lore/Late Dereth Texts/Communion]]</ref>
::* [[Asheron]]'s prolonged life is due to [[Falatacot]] magic.

* Destroyed by order of Nali [[Valind]] of the [[Northern Church]] in HE 347/348:<ref name="Aerlinthe Record">2000/07 - [[To Raise a Banner of Flame]] - [[Aerlinthe Record]]</ref>
::Nali [[Valind]] decreed that the [[Sisters of Ithaenc]] were irreversibly contaminated by the teachings of the [[Falatacot]] and declared them heretics.<ref name=HistAubIII>[[The History of Auberean/Volume III: The Fall From Grace (-1,804 to -891)]]</ref> She called out for the extirpation of the Adjanite heretics, and [[Ithaenc Cathedral]] was sacked and desecrated.<ref name=AerlintheRecord>2000/07 - [[To Raise a Banner of Flame]] - [[Aerlinthe Record]]</ref> The pilgrims that answer Valind's call slaughtered the Sisters, putting some to the sword while others were burned at the stake. The only thing left behind by the crusaders was the shattered shell of the [[Ithaenc Cathedral]].<ref name=HistAubIII>[[The History of Auberean/Volume III: The Fall From Grace (-1,804 to -891)]]</ref>
* The destruction of the Order led to the disappearance of the last [[Gromnatross]], [[Aurlanaa]], from [[Aerlinthe]].<ref>2003/05 [[Discoveries]] - [[The Departure of Aurlanaa]]</ref>
