准神力Quasi-Powers
亦被呼作 神子the Godson 和 班恩之子the Son of Bane 的 伊亞契圖Iyachtu 充當着 班恩Bane 在 諸國度the Realms 中的一件工具、執行着其「父」的意旨。他要麼呈現為一位瘦骨嶙峋、手持一把大彎刀的裸男，要麼是一團雙眼發光的黑雲。伊亞契圖·希維姆貌似是在 動盪之年Time of Troubles 期間宣告獨立的，儘管這發生在其「父」隕落之前還是之後還不清楚。希維姆在 東域the East、尤其是 賽爾Thay 最為強大，但他的教徒分佈於費倫各地。他未直接參與動盪之年，並且從那之後就再未與任何神發生聯繫，但如果當前這些准神力中有誰將晉升中等或強大神力的話，那麼你可以下注神子（以及下文提及的 殷紅騎士Red Knight）。
Also called the Godson and the Son of Bane, Iyachtu has served as Bane’s instrument in the Realms, carrying out the will of his 「father.」 He appears either as a gaunt, naked man with a great scimitar or a black cloud with glowing eyes. Iyachtu Xvim apparently declared his independence with the Time of Troubles, though whether this occurred before or after the death of his 「father」 is unknown. He is strongest in the East, particularly in Thay, but his cultists can be found throughout the Realms. He had no direct part in the Time of Troubles, and has had no relationship with the gods since, but if any of the current quasipowers could be considered soon to become an intermediate or greater power, the bets are on the Godson (and the Red Knight, see below).

新款聖徽
據說，伊亞契圖·希維姆Iyachtu Xvim（讀作「Ec-YAK-too ZVIHM」）是 黑色君王the Black Lord，班恩、與某隻高等塔納厘或真塔納厘之間結合的結晶，班恩之血在他的血管中流淌着。（另一個傳言說，他是黑色君王與某位墮落聖武士的結晶。）在 諸神之戰the Godswar 前，希維姆是班恩在 諸國度the Realms 的工具，執行着其父的意志。他隨着 動盪之年Time of Troubles 公開宣告了獨立（不過未知這發生於其父死前還是死後）。在動盪之年期間，希維姆發現自己被詭秘地困進了 費倫大陸Faerûn 的地下（更準確地說，散提爾堡Zhentil Keep之下）深處。這使這位半神力從動盪之年落幕就一直受困，直到散提爾堡毀滅才得以逃出他的泥土監獄，並在 焦炎地獄Gehenna 建立了基地。（傳言報告稱，在希維姆從散提爾堡下逃出前，他在 月影島Moonshaes 被目擊過，不過這應歸因於班恩教派召喚了一隻使用了類似於希維姆的形態的塔納厘或巴特祖，以此巧妙地嘲諷了不能親至的希維姆。）在他露面後不久後，希維姆利用一支篤信的教徒組織將自己的地位提升到弱等神祇，現在，他自恃已是這個位面一位羽翼豐滿的神力。
Iyachtu Xvim (Ec-YAK-too ZVIHM) is said to he the result of a union between the Black Lord, Bane, and a greater or a true tanar'i, and thus the blood of Bane runs through his veins. Another tale says he is the spawn of the Black Lord and a corrupted paladin.) Xvim served as Bane's instrument in the Realms, carrying out the will of his father prior to the Godswar. He apparently declared his independence with the Time of Troubles, though whether this occurred before or after the death or his father is unknown. During the Time or Troubles, Xvim found himself mysteriously confined to the subterranean depths of Faerûn —specifically, under Zhentil Keep. It took the demipower from the end of the Time of Trouhles until the destruction of Zhentil Keep to escape his earthen prison and establish a base in Gehenna. Rumors reporting that Xvim was sighted in the Moonshaes before his escape from beneath Zhentil Keep are attributed to the Cult of Bane there summoning up a tanar'ri or baatezu who took a form resembling that of Xvim in sly mockery of Xvim, since Xvim was unable to come himself.) Shortly after his emergence, Xvim was able to use a group of devout cultists to boost his stature to that of a lesser deity, and he now considers himself a full-fledged power of the planes.
希維姆徹頭徹尾地邪惡。正如其一貫的那樣，他虛榮而自負，還是個仗勢欺人的暴徒。然而，在被監禁後，他看上去比之前更聰明、謹慎和狡猾，並採取了一種更巧妙的手段，來比早前傳說對他的稱讚更接近力量。在希瑞克遭受的挫折之時，希維姆設法從希瑞克那裏奪取了他的父親，班恩從前某些方面的神職。他的計劃最終包含他父親的全部神職和在費倫神祇中的地位。
Xvim is evil through and through. He is vain, arrogant, and a bully, just as he has always been. However, after his incarceration he seems smarter, cagier, and cannier than before and has taken a more subtle approach to power than earlier legends give him credit for. With the setbacks that Cyric suffered, Xvim managed to snatch away from Cyric some aspects of the former portfolio of his father, Bane. His plan is eventually to fully subsume his father's portfolio and status among the deities of Faerûn.
舊版聖徽
希維姆對所有費倫神祇都懷有恨意，無論陣營。他不清楚是誰將他塞進了地下（有條傳聞聲稱是 艾歐Ao。）希維姆為他的不幸遭遇指責整個費倫神系，並密謀採取相應的報復。希維姆將 希瑞經Cyrinishad 事件視為一個契機，一個向班恩從前的信徒展示暴富的凡人希瑞克只是個廢物，而只有班恩或他的血裔才真正值得服從的機會。他想要完全抹去希瑞克，但就目前來說，能見證希瑞克力量減少他已感到滿意。
Xvim has a hatred for all the deities of Faerûn , regardless of alignment. He is unsure of who it was that put him in the earth. (One report claims it was Ao.) Xvim blames the entire Faerûnian pantheon for his misfortunes, and he plots his revenge accordingly. Xvim sees the Cyrinishad incident as an opportunity to show the former worshipers of Bane that the upstart mortal Cyric is incompetent and that only Bane or one of his blood is truly worthy of obedience. He wants to eliminate Cyric completely, but for now he is satisfied with seeing him reduced in power.
除去散提爾堡崛起的希維姆教會，希維姆在 東域the East、尤其是 賽爾Thay 最為強大，但他的教徒分佈於費倫各地。當下，希維姆正忙於構建他的神職人員。他在散提爾堡的殘餘事物中集中心力。如同這座正在重生之中的城堡，希維姆明白他的教會同樣會有一個全新的開始。希維姆認為，這座城堡的重建與他自身的權勢是聯繫在一起的。
Apart from the rising church of Xvim in Zhentil Keep, Xvim is strongest in the East, particularly in Thay, but his cultists can be found throughout the Realms. Currently, Xvim is busy building up his clergy. He is centering his efforts in what's left of Zhentil Keep. Just as the Keep is in the middle of its rebirth, Xvim sees his church as having a fresh start as well. Xvim considers the Keeps comeback and his own ascendancy to be linked.
伊亞契圖·希維姆的化身Iyachtu Xvim's Avatar
（戰士Fighter 24，巫師Mage 16，牧師Cleric 14）
在他的天然形態中，伊亞契圖·希維姆是位瘦削、但肩寬的12英尺高男性，有着褐黑色、鱗片般的皮膚，通常衣不遮體。他有着發光的綠眼睛和不羈的黑色長髮。事實上，雖然他據稱是班恩與某隻塔納厘的結晶，但他看上去相當像只大型巨魔。他能以強大的爪子攻擊，但他偏好使用 靈魂彎刀Scimitar of Souls。希維姆是個虛榮的存在，並最常展現為一種他能以隨意使用的天賦 形體變化shape change 變身的形態——一位黑膚黑髮、30年華的男性，中等身高，有着放蕩的姿色與明亮的翡翠色調眼睛（相較於人類眼睛來說，每隻看起來都有着不自然的明亮與鮮艷）。
Iyachtu Xvim, in his natural form, is a gaunt but broad-shouldered 12-foot-tall man with brown-black, scaly skin who often goes scantily clothed. He has glowing green eyes and long, unruly black hair. In fact, he looks rather like large troll, though he is said to be the offspring of Bane and a tanar'ri. He can attack with his powerful claws, but he favors using the Scimitar of Souls. Xvim is a vain being, and most often appears in a form he can naturally shape change into at will—that of a dark-skinned, black-haired man in his thirties, of average height and possessing rakish good looks and eyes of a brilliant emerald hue (which look unnaturally bright and vivid for human eyes).
他熱衷殺戮和毀滅。他需要支配周圍的所有存在，並樂見於凡人的奴顏婢膝和祈求寬恕的嗚咽乞求。他能從任何學派或領域提取法術，但對扭曲凡人的意志為他服務或造成長期傷害的那些尤感興趣。
He delights in slaying and destroying things. He needs to dominate all beings around him, and he enjoys seeing mortals grovel and sobbingly beg for mercy. He can draw spells from any school or sphere, but particularly enjoys those that twist mortals to his service against their will or cause lingering damage.

特殊攻擊／防禦Special Att/Def：
在他的天然形態中，希維姆可以以每隻爪子每輪攻擊1次，或以 靈魂彎刀Scimitar of Souls 每2輪攻擊5次。在他的類人類形態中，希維姆以 靈魂彎刀 攻擊。靈魂彎刀 是柄守序邪惡陣營的黑刃 +3彎刀，能劈開所有已知魔法屏障（例如，虹光法球prismatic spheres 或 力場牆wall of force）而令持有者不受傷害，而它的每次命中都將從活物身上吸取2生命能量等級或毀滅（無生命的）不死生物。
In his natural form, Xvim can attack with each claw once a round or five times every two rounds with the Scimitar of Souls. In his humanlike form, Xvim attacks with the Scimitar of Souls.The Scimitar of Souls is a lawful evil-aligned, black-bladed scimitar +3 that can cleave all known magical barriers (for example, prismatic spheres or walls of force) without the wielder taking harm, and whose every strike drains two life energy levels from living beings or destroys (nonliving) undead creatures.
在任一形態，隨意使用，希維姆能夠使用 真知術true seeing、暗示術suggestion、以及創造一個環繞他本身 黑暗術，15英尺半徑Darkness 15' 球體。每個其他輪，除了他正常的攻擊和法術數量，僅以一個念頭，希維姆便能夠投擲 剝奪之刃reaving blades（如同4級祭司法術詳情見後）。
In either form, Xvim is able to use true seeing, suggestion, and create a sphere of darkness, 15' radius about himself at will. Every other round, in addition to his normal number of attacks and spells, Xvim is able to fling reaving blades (as the 4th-level priest spell described below) with but a thought.
在希維姆是位較現在更弱的神力的那段時期，銀質武器能傷害他，但其沒有額外的效果。現在符合命中他的資格的是附魔等級能夠傷害一位弱等神力的魔法武器。希維姆免疫幻術和法術、類法術效果或能力的恐懼或魅惑。
When Xvim was a weaker power, silver weapons were able to damage him, but this no longer applies. Magical weapons of the level of enchantment needed to damage a lesser power are now required to strike him. Xvim is immune to illusions and fear or charm spells, spelllike effects or abilities.
其祂顯現Other Manifestations
伊亞契圖·希維姆經常展現為一團沉重、油膩的黑雲，黑雲被兩隻綠色、發光、大如一個男人頭顱的眼睛點亮。這個雲團能說話、施展法術或投擲閃電般的黑矢（而不是放電），黑矢每次命中造成5d6點傷害（通過豁免傷害減半）。交替地，希維姆偶爾會顯現為一條粗估70英尺長的蛇類，有着大四輪載重馬車的直徑、一隻寬蛇般的扁頭、以及熾熱燃燒的綠眼睛。在此形態，希維姆移動5，零級命中率5，生命值72（有效生命骰16），每輪齧咬1次，造成5d6點傷害。他沒有毒牙，但擁有一條骨質的尾釘，刺戳造成8d4點穿刺傷害；然而，因為希維姆尚未習慣使用這個形態，它的命中受到-2懲罰。
Iyachtu Xvim usually manifests as a heavy, greasy black cloud lit by two green, glowing eyes as large as a man's head. The cloud can speak, cast spells, or hurl black bolts of lightning that burn rather than discharging electricity and deal 5d6 points of damage per strike (save for half damage). Alternately, Xvim occasionally manifests as a black snake roughly 70 feet long, with a diameter the size of a large wagon, a flat adderlike head, and blazing green eyes. In this form Xvim has a MV of 9, a THAC0 of 5, 72 hit points (effectively 16 HD), and bites once per round for 5d6 points of damage. He has no venom, but possesses a bone tail spike that can stab for 8d4 points of piercing damage; however, it strikes at a -2 artack penalty since Xvim is not yet used to this form.
希維姆也藉由眼魔和類眼魔生物、利齒龍fang dragon、綠龍、藍龍、棕龍、地獄犬、蛇雞獸、火眼蛇雞獸、小魔鬼、暗納迦、劫掠者、tso、nyth（詳見《FA 1 至高王國之廳Halls of the High King》）以及某些不死生物的形象或存在行動。他更常派遣蝙蝠、黑狗、綠眼黑貓、黑綠色飛蛾、蒼蠅、黑色星藍寶石、輝光、祖母綠、血玉髓以及禿鷲展現他的眷顧或冷落並作為激勵他信徒的符號。
Xvim also acts through the appearance or presence of beholders and beholder-kin, fang dragons, green dragons, blue dragons, brown dragons, hell hounds, cockatrices, pyrolisks, imps, dark nagas, reaves, tso, nyths (detailed in FA 1 Halls of the High King), and some undead creatures. More commonly he sends bats, black dogs, green-eyedblack cats, black-and-green moths, flies, hematites, black star sapphires, sheens, emeralds, bloodstones, malachites, blood hawks, and vultures to show his favor or disfavor and as a sign to inspire his faithful.

All clerics, specialty priests, and crusaders of lyachtu Xvim receive religion (Faerûnian) as a bonus nonweapon proficiency.
伊亞契圖·希維姆吸引着同樣殘忍、渴望權力、信仰班恩的族群。一些人為在他的存在之內感受到的敬畏和恐懼着迷，一些人在嚴苛的規則、以及人族憑力量將戰勝一切、馴服整個費倫的承諾中得到慰藉，而其他人則是在 黑暗教會the Church of Darkness 無休無止的無情陰謀中才感覺真正活着。希維姆的追隨者、祭司以及修士被稱作 希維姆教徒Xvimist，與此同時，神子the Godson 的祭司被稱作 希維姆教士Xvimlar，該教的精英專屬祭祀被稱為 奧斯林authlims。
lyachru Xvim attracts the same sort of cruel, power-hungry folk who worshiped Bane. Some are fascinated by the awe and fear they feel in his presence, some take comfort in the rigid rules and the promise that humankin will prevail over all through might, taming all Faerûn , and others feel truly alive when engaged in the ruthless intrigue that is unending in the Church of Darkness. Followers of Xvim, priests and lay folk, are called Xvimists, while priests of the Godson are known as Xvimlar, and the elite specialty priests of the faith are known as authlims.
希維姆教士狂喜毀滅和壓迫他人，並喜歡造成痛苦。在他人通過的時候踢一腳，門裏有人的時候狠摔，以及往繁忙的街頭丟石頭，這些行為對希維姆教士來說並不罕見。一些希維姆教士是前 班恩教徒Banites，因為在他們的 殘暴主人Cruel Master 的統治下，希維姆教士們積極地尋找班恩教的神職成員並使他們皈依。希維姆教士視希維姆為班恩的繼承人。
Xvimlar exult in destruction and in oppressing others and enjoy casually dealing pain. Kicking folk they pass, slamming doors on people, and hurling stones down busy streets at random are not uncommon acts for Xvimlar. Some Xvimlar are former Banites, since Banite clergy members were actively courted and converted by the Xvimlar under orders from their Cruel Master. Xvimlar see Xvim as Bane's heir.
希維姆教士戲弄地給予他們的初修士頭銜「害蟲Vermin」，而第3級或更低者適用頭銜「壓迫者Oppressor」，「可憎主人Hatemaster」則予第4到8級神職人員，「毀滅領主Ruinlord」予第9到15級者，而「暴君Tyrannar」予第16或更高等級的神職人員。頭銜在這個教會中不分性別，且神殿是以嚴格的等級運轉，而該信仰由一位 至高暴君High Tyrannar 領導。該信仰的護教軍迄今為止還沒有幾個，直接隸屬於某個神殿的高級祭司（通常是一位毀滅領主或暴君），以及直屬於至高暴君處置下的一個護教軍和久經沙場的武士單獨單位。
Xvimlar jolkingly title their novices 「Vermin" and apply the title 「Oppressor」 to those of 3rd level or less, 「Hatemaster」 to clergy of 4th through 8th level, 「Ruinlord」 to those of 9th through 15th level, and 「Tyrannar」 to clergy of 16th or greater level. Titles in the church are the same regardless of gender, and temples are run in a strictly hierarchical manner, with the faith being led by a High Tyrannar.Crusader of the faith, of which there are few as of yet, report directly to a temple's high priest (usually a Runinlord orTyrannar), with one exclusive unit crusader and battle-hardened warriors directly at the Higjh Tyrannar's disposal.
迄今為止，希維姆展現出了對地下神殿、尤其是從廢棄的班恩神殿轉化的地下神殿的偏好。然而在塞爾，有一些宏偉的神殿專注或獻身於他，尤其是在「千殿之城City of a Thousand Temples」拜占圖城Bezantur，在那裏黑暗教會維護着 伊亞契圖·希維姆之邸the House of Iyachtu Xvim，一座有着寬敞的中央大廳、兩條長尺寸的廂房、以及充裕的生活和存儲設備的新建石質建築。
Thus far, Xvim has shown a preference for underground temples, especially ones converted from abandoned temples of Bane. However, some grand temples have been dedicated or rededicated to him in Thay, most notably in Bezantur, City of a Thousand Temples, where the Church of Darkness maintains the House of Iyachtu Xvim, a new stone building with a large central hall, two long wings, and ample living and storage facilities.
教義Dogma：
希維姆為死亡與毀滅愉悅，並鼓勵他的獻身者們效仿他。在希維姆黑暗而扭曲的心智中除了毀滅外沒有值得做的事情。那些將跟隨希維姆者必須承諾去毀滅，去壓迫，去虐待，就像他所做的那樣。希維姆偏好以一個破碎的「啄序」，獎酬推開身邊人獲勝者。那些食物鏈頂端者掠食着位於底端者。那些身處底端者要不活下來（並變得強壯）或滅亡——在這種情況下，他們是軟弱的且不再屬於希維姆的任何營地。
Xvim delights in death and destruction, and encourages his devoted to emulate him. In Xvim's dark, twisted mind, nothing worthy is accomplished without the destruction of something else. Those who would follow Xvim must be as committed to destruction, oppression, and cruelty as he is. Xvim favors a crushing pecking order that rewards those who shove others aside for personal gain. Those at the top of the food chain prey on those at the bottom. Those at the bottom either survive (and become stronger) or perish—in which case, they were weak and did not belong in Xvim's camp anyway.
資深神職人員將希維姆教初修士作為一般追隨者管理：「服從，或在痛苦中死去並徹底地毀滅。去奴役或殺戮弱者，並確保他們知道他們的苦難是以希維姆之名與他的意志。無論何時，都當謹慎地製造他人痛苦和哭泣的服從。成為一個殘酷、無情的暴君吧，希維姆將被取悅。每當你能不被其他人發現，就殺掉所有其他神的祭司。綁架暴君並將他們帶給資深神職人員成員以交予希維姆。抓住所有法師並為教會提供他們的魔法——或者帶他們給希維姆最資深的僕人，以便把他們轉化為作為守衛服務於希維姆的生物。將希維姆的恐懼傳播到所有地方。毀滅所有阻礙他的意志者，無論那是何物，無論那是何人，從而見證他權能之言的傳播，但除了信奉他的凡人，沒有誰能留下活着詳述你的事跡。要毀滅秘密行動的所有目擊者，但在散佈隨意的破壞時，就讓活着的倖存者去述說希維姆的力量吧。這是一種毀滅的歡愉——去感受它，去放縱它。」
{{sp|sp = Novice Xvimlar are charged as follows by senior clergy members："Obey or die in pain and utter destruction. Enslave or slay the weak, and be sure that they know their suffering is in Xvim's name and by his will. Cause pain and tearful obedience in others whenever prudent. Be a cruel, heartless tyrant, and Xvim shall be pleased. Slay the priests of other gods whenever you can do so without being identified by others. Capture tyrants and take them to senior clergy members to be delivered unto Xvim. Capture all wizards and bring their magic to the church —or bring them to Xvims most senior servants so that they can be transformed into creatures who will do service to Xvim as guardians. Spread fear of Xvim over all the lands. Destroy whatever and whoever bars his will and see that word of his power spreads but that no one survives to describe your deeds in detail except mortals who worship him. Destroy all witnesses to secret acts, but leave alive survivors to tell of Xvim's power when spreading casual destruction. There is a delight in destruction——feel it and indulge in it."
日常活動Day-to-Day Activities：
希維姆教士忙於漫遊費倫，為他的殘忍的主人脫困、晉為顯露的神性而激勵。無論他們去哪都會挑戰和殺死希瑞克的神職人員（他們公認的敵人），並鼓舞依然忠誠者。班恩教祭司加入到希維姆的信仰——或在他們的手中毀滅。班恩教徒視希維姆擁有繼承班恩最正統的申索。
The Xvimlar are busily roaming Faerûn, inspired by the coming out of their Cruel Master into open godhood. Wherever they go are challenging and slaying clergy of Cyric (their ac-knowledged enemy) and urging still-faithful.Banite priests to join in worship of Xvim —or perish at their hands. For the most part, they have been successful at converting the remaining ultra-orthodox. Banite, who see Xvim as holding the most valid claim to succeed Bane.
在這個「轉化」工作中是的領導者和密探是奧斯林——雖然，他們的首要任務，是去綁架特別是統治者和有權勢的人（暴君）獲取他們的靈魂獻給希維姆作為他的食糧。希維姆兩類的祭司的第二使命都是屠殺所有不信希維姆的其他信仰的祭司和神職人員，使恐懼蔓延，並用殘忍和暴虐行為讓希維姆的聲望提升。然而，消滅其他祭司必須在秘密進行，以免所有信仰一同起義反對並壓倒希維姆的教會。
The leaders and spies in this 「conversion" work are the authlims— whose primary mission, though, is to kidnap especially ruthless and powerful people (tyrants) to take their spirits to Xvim for him to feed upon. Both sorts of priests of Xvim have as their secondary missions the slaughter of the priests and clergy members of all other faiths than Xvim's, the spreading of fear, and the enhancement of Xvim's reputation by acts cruelty and tyranny. Eliminating other priests must be done covertly, however, lest all faiths rise up together against the church of Xvim and overwhelm it.
聖日／重要慶典Holy Days/Important Ceremonies：
迄今為止在希維姆的教會中沒有已知曆法相關的節日，雖然一些神殿會慶祝他的到來神臨，儘管選擇的日子不同。（一些教令期望在不久的將來固定一個確定日期。）希維姆期望他的祭司無時無刻地向他祈禱、以他的名義活着（即使在爭鬥或飛行中被擊中也要繼續），並在晨禱和晚禱中向他跪拜，最好是選在一座高大的祭壇前。
There are as yet no known calendar-related festivals in the church of Xvim, though some temples celebrate his Coming, albeit on different days. (Some decree is expected to fix a firm date for this in the near future.) Xvim expects his priests to pray to him whenever they take a life in his name (even it the beat of battle or flight continues) and to bow down to him in prayer morning and evening, preferably in front of a high altar.
高級儀式包括令人毛骨悚然的智能生物獻祭和在被驅趕、飢餓的野獸與手無寸鐵的絕望俘虜之間墮落的角鬥戰斗（由一眾祭司觀看），在過程中遞入能被弄碎製造武器、而對持有者與目標同樣造成傷害的脆弱玻璃制物品。該教會被傳言，在其中的祭司使他們自己陷入瘋狂並在那時徒手和腳踢瘋狂地攻擊奴隸和低級祭司時，進行詠唱的舞蹈，直至至少一個戰鬥出血（於是敲鐘結束這戰鬥和儀式）。在這個年輕的信仰中，儀式仍然在迅速發展和變化。
{{sp|sp = High rituals involve horrific sacrifices of intelligent creatures and depraved gladiatorial combats (observed by the assembled priests) between goaded and starved beasts and desperate unarmed captives, conducted amid fragile glass items that can be shattered to yield weapons that harm both the wielder and targets. The church is also rumored to conduct chanting dances wherein priests work themselves into frenzies and then attack slaves and lesser priests wildly but barehanded, kicking and fighting until at least one combatant falls bleeding (whereupon bells are struck to end the strife and the ritual). In this young faith, rituals are still developing and changing quickly.
主要崇拜中心Major Centers of Worship：
希維姆教會的最高首腦是至高暴君 傅佐爾·徹伯瑞Fzoul Chembryl，他，由 毀滅領主「舊日殉難者」熱娜Xana the Once-Martyred 輔佐，以神子之名統治着 掌中之心the Heart from the Hand，一座散提爾堡殘骸下方的地下神殿。在塞爾的幾座神殿的力量正在迅速增漲，但是傅佐爾可鄙的忠心、卓越的計劃、奧斯林間諜，以及眼魔盟友讓他保持在新生之暗的頂峰，並將繼續如此。希維姆通過定期徹底地勘測他的思想與記憶來確保傅佐爾的忠誠——並高度重視他教內傾軋與陰謀詭計方面的狡猾經驗。
The supreme head the church of Xvim is High Tyrannar Fzoul Chembryl, who, assisted by Ruinlord Xana , rules in the name of the Godson from the Heart from the Hand, a subterranean temple beneath the remnants of Zhentil Keep. Several temples in Thay are growing rapidly in power, but Fzoul's abject loyalty, brilliant schemes, authlim spies, and beholder allies have kept him at the pinnacle of the faith of the New Darkness, and continue to do so. Xvim ensures Froul's loyalty by possessing him at regular intervals to thoroughly explore his thoughts and memories —and highly values his cunning experience with religious infighting and intrigues.
從屬組織Affiliated Orders：
黑暗教會只有一支隸屬的騎士團——黑拳兄弟會the Brothers of the Black Fist，這是一支隸屬於該信仰、仍在成型的護教軍組織，並指揮着被紀律和希維姆的勢力的果斷領導所吸引的戰士。既然傅佐爾•徹伯瑞已是它的至高暴君，所以假若黑暗教會不是 散塔林會the Zhentarim 的同盟，也很可能會與其發展友好關係。
The Church of Darkness has only one affiliated knightly order, the Brothers of the Black Fist, a still-forming order which the crusaders of the faith belong and which commands fighters attracted to the discipline and decisive leadership of Xvim's forces. With Fzoul Chembryl as its High Tyrannar, the Church of Darkness is also likely to develop intimateties to the Zhentarim if it is not so allied already.
祭司的祭服Priestly Vestments：
奧斯林的儀式法衣是：一頂弄黑的金屬無檐便帽與一頂黑色皮方巾（戴在斗篷上），帽上有着輕薄、鮮艷的綠色滾邊或鑲穗；一件修長的黑色教士服，衣袖上附加着綠色拭巾，所以當祭司做手勢時他們的黑色服飾會散發出綠光。該服飾被暗繡以希維姆的徽記。普通希維姆教士的儀式服飾是在一襲樸實的黑色教士長袍上，穿着一件胸前裝飾着希維姆徽記的綠色白法衣。這副行頭在戶外的儀式遊行中又會有所增添一件黑色的大圓衣（罩袍），其背面繡着希維姆的徽記、黑色手套（複數），和一頂鑲嵌了兩顆象徵着希維姆之眼的綠色寶石的主教冠。
Ritual vestments for an aurhlim are a blackened metal skullcap and a black amice (overmantle) with thin, bright green piping or braidwork worn over a long, black cassock with green maniples attached to its sleeves, so they flash green out of the black garb when the priest gestures. The garb is completed by green ecclesiastical stole embroidered with the symbol or Xvim. Ritual garments for rank and file Xvimlar are a green surplice adorned on the breast with the symbol of Xvim worn over a plain black cassock. This outfit is augmented out of door in ritual processions with a black cope (overcloak) embroidered on the back with the symbol of Xvim, black gloves, and a black miter set with two green gems to represent the eyes of Xvim.
[譯註：拭巾amice，在祭司拿取教會的聖物時，要先用它蓋在雙手上。拭巾是亞麻布做的，在兩端綴着簡單的流蘇。]
冒險裝束Adventuring Garb：
希維姆的祭司冒險者穿着類似於任何武裝牧師，而偏好有着綠色配件的黑色盔甲。日常穿着黑色服飾（通常是黑色長袍），並以綠色滾邊作為修飾，又或以手套、腰帶或飾帶以及色調鮮亮驚人甲袋。奧斯林穿戴着威風的黑色帶刺戰鬥盔甲，並誇耀着巨大黑色頭盔，頭盔為模仿怪物之首風格並以綠色的寶石作為其眼睛。
The adventuring priest of Xvim dresses like any armored priest, favoring black armor with green accessories. Everyday wear is black (often black robes) with green piping as trim, or with gloves, belts or sashes, collars, and pouches of a startlingly bright armor hue. Authlims wear spiked and imposing black battle armor and sport black great helms fashioned into the likenesses of monsters' heads with green gems for the eyes.

希維姆教派法術Xvimlar Spell
在侍奉其父期間，伊亞契圖·希維姆學會了如何將其父的許多強大法術，授予他覺得得力的信徒。地下城主們可能希望允許一些或全部班恩教會的獨有法術伊亞契圖·希維姆教會也能使用。當傅佐爾·徹伯瑞加入希維姆信仰時，戰潮battletide 法術的知識被他帶入了教會，詳述見後。
Iyachtu Xvim learned how to grant a great many of the spells his father was capable of granting to his followers while in his father's service. Dungeon Masters may wish to allow any or all of the spells exclusive to the church of Bane to he used also by the church of Iyachtu Xvim. The battletide spell detailed below is a spell brought to the knowledge of the church by when Fzoul Chembryl he joined Xvim's faith.

持續時間Duration：5 輪round
施法時間Casting Time：5
影響區域Area of Effect：特殊Special
豁免檢定Saving Throw：特殊Special
這道法術在施法者手中憑空創造出一柄生命短暫的發光權杖，擊打有+3攻擊獎勵，每次命中造成1d12+2點傷害，並破碎所有被擊中的物品成功通過對抗破壞擊打或粉碎的物品豁免骰。如果這柄權杖脫離了施法者的持握將消失，並不會被任何其他存在揮舞。所有魔法物品和附魔物質或表面施加了一道咒文的物品，在對抗這柄權杖的粉碎力量時的豁免上獲得+4獎勵。任何物品一旦通過了對某柄特定 希維姆之權杖的豁免，即便它在反覆攻擊，也不需要再次進行豁免。
This spell conjures up a shorrt-lived glowing mace in the caster's hand that strikes with a + 3 attack bonus, deals 1d12+2 points damage at a strike, and forces all struck items to succeed at an item saving throw vs. crushing blow or shatter. The mace vanishes if it leaves the possession of the caster and cannot be wielded by any other being. All magical items and enchanted substances or surfaces bearing a dweomer get at +4 bonus to their saving throws against the shattering power of the mace. Any item that succeeds at its saving throw once against a particular mace of Xvim need not do so again, even if struck repeatedly.
這柄權杖有5英尺觸及，但卻幾乎沒有重量；任何體型和力量的施法者都能輕易揮動它。它以一柄黑色、帶刺、鈕頭、連體杆的外形展現，並被一抹黯淡、閃爍的藍色光輝包裹着。
The mace has a reach of 5 feet but is almost weightless; casters of any size and strength can easily wield it. It appears as a black, spiked, knobheaded, one-piece rod surrounded by a dim, flickering, blue radiance.
這道法術的材料成分是一根鐵或鋼質的釘、裂片或碎片。
The material component of this spell is an iron or steel nail, sliver, or fragment.

剝奪之刃reaving blades
（塑能Evocation，死靈Necromantic）
領域Sphere：戰鬥Combat
距離Range：10碼/級yards/level
組件Components：言語V，姿勢S，材料M
持續時間Duration：2輪round
施法時間Casting Time：7
影響區域Area of Effect：特殊Special
豁免檢定Saving Throw：無None
這道法術創造了兩道旋轉的力場黑刃，旋轉着以18 (B）的飛行速度在空氣中飛行，直到因擊中了施法者希望它們希望打中的隨便什麼目標而結束——無論那是兩個單獨的存在，又或是一個單獨的敵人。力場刃在第二輪結束消失且不會對無生命物品造成傷害，但每一片都會在不死和有生命事物上、一輪無聲地切割兩次。剝奪之刃的擊打使用施法者的零級命中，但獲得+6攻擊獎勵，並在成功命中時造成2d12點傷害。剝奪之刃攻擊的存在物品不會因為傷害損壞或挪動，雖然易碎物品，如果被某次擊打的目標掉落，還是能被損壞的。
This spell creates two whirling black blades of force that spin end over end as they fly through the air at MV FI 18(B_) to strike at whatever targets the caster wills them to — either two separate beings or a single foe. The blades of force vanish at the end of the second round and do no damage to inanimate objects, but each one silently slices twice during a round at undead and living things. The reaving blades strike with the caster's THAC0, but with +6 attack bonus, and deal 2d12 points of damage on a successful strike. Reaving blades does no damage to items worn or carried by attacked beings, though fragile items could well be harmed if dropped by a struck target.
這道法術的材料成分是兩根渡鴉的羽毛和整件或刃器的碎片。
The material components of this spell are two raven's feathers and a fragment of or an entire bladed weapon.

戰潮battletide
（轉化Alteration）
領域Sphere：戰鬥Combat
距離Range：0
組件Components：言語V，姿勢S，材料M
持續時間Duration：6輪round
施法時間Casting Time：8
影響區域Area of Effect：20英尺半徑foot radius
豁免檢定Saving Throw：特殊Special
這道法術使得施法者為中心、20英尺球形半徑內的所有存在陷入緩慢。被影響的存在移動和攻擊為半速。（這道法術影響在施法時已效果半徑範圍內的存在，而非之後在這道法術持續時間期間進入施法者範圍內的生物。）被該法術影響的存在將持續緩慢，即便他們移出了該法術效果範圍外。
This spell slows all beings within a 20-foot spherical radius centered on the caster except the caster. Affected beings move and attack at halfspeed. (The spell affects beings within the radius of effect at the time of casting, not creatures who later come within range of the caster during the duration of the spell.) Beings affected by the spell remain slowed even it they move beyond the original area of effect of the spell.
該魔法將從其受害者身上竊取的能量輸送給施法者，他將在法術持續時間內被加速，而免受法術 加速術haste 的任何老化影響。施法者以他或她通常移動速率的兩倍移動、以快一倍的速度發動物理攻擊（那意味着，某一輪可以攻擊1次的存在將可以攻擊兩次——在一輪開始和結束時）。戰潮並不允許施法被加速。
The magic transfers the energy it steals from its victims to the caster, who is hasted for the spell duration without any of the aging effects of a haste spell. The caster moves at double his or her normal movement rate and makes physical attacks twice as fast (that is, a being who attacks once per round would attack twice—first in the round and then last). Battletide does not allow spellcasting to be hastened.
該施法者緩慢範圍內的所有存在，需通過每輪1次的法術豁免檢定以避免，通過將立即擺脫戰潮。該法術將隨着最後一位受害者逃脫它的影響或持續時間結束而終結。在第1輪，避免戰潮效果的豁免檢定造成-6懲罰；在第二輪，為-5懲罰；在第三輪，為-4懲罰，以此類推。
All beings within range the caster are allowed to make saving throws vs. spell once a round to avoid, or instantly break free of, the battletide. The spell ends entirely when the last victim escapes its effects or at the end of its duration. On the first round, the saving throw to avoid battletide's effects is made at a -6 penalty; on the second, at a -5 penalty; on the third, at a -4 penalty, and so on.
這道法術的材料成分是足有施法者手臂長的一片蛛網、人類的頭髮或絲線。
The material component of this spell is a piece of cobweb, human hair, or silk thread as long as the casters hand.
