K'nauth

A k'nauth (plural knauth'i) is a person who is so dedicated to a deity that they permit the god to openly take over, without effort. The word derives from the Infernal word for "puppet".

The unidentified cleric of a Betrayer God that Cerrit Agrupnin killed was determined by Zerxus Ilerez to be a k'nauth. Said individual had received so much power so quickly from his god that he had begun to grow tumors in his throat, as mortals are intended to more slowly gain that power through experience and understanding rather than receive it all at once.

The k'nauthi that attacked Avalir were dedicated to Betrayer Gods and had carved Infernal runes into the flesh on their arms. They had also cut off their lips and their eyelids. Some of them attacked the Ring of Brass, while others attempted to destroy and deface the city's eldritch batteries. They were capable of casting cleric spells such as Spiritual Weapon, as well as healing spells.
