Order of Dust
The Order of Dust is a special priesthood that follows the goddess Kalivasha. They are unlike other priesthoods in that they gain special divine power as they go up in levels other than spells. The Order of Dust is given great power from their goddess. They are an exclusive group and all initiates are hand picked by a member of their Order. The Duskbrothers give the Order of Dust anything they ask for. A Dustbrother should even be willing to lay down his life to protect a member of the Order of Dust. Unlike the Duskbrothers, the Order of Dust has a rigid hierarchy. The greatest of the Order are called Hands of Fate. The Hands of Fate are seldom seen by anyone outside of their Order.
The Order of Dust also has a handful of mountain strongholds. These fortresses are in remote areas of the world and are protected by the Order of Ash. Adventuring groups that happen across these remote fortresses are never seen again. The Hands of Fate are rumored to have great treasures hidden within these halls.
Kalivasha demands that her priests follow a strict code:

Deathwatch: The Order of Dust has the ability to see the status of creatures within their sight. This ability is always active and acts just as the spell Deathwatch.
Dust Mephit Companion: At 10th level, the Order of Dust members are granted the service of a Dust Mephit. Kalivasha uses the Dust Mephits as handmaidens and allows her priesthood to befriend one as a companion. These Mephits are not controlled by the members of the Order but are instead inclined to befriend them. The DM should create these Mephits as Cohorts or friends of the priest. If they are abused or mishandled, they will leave and the disfavor of the goddess is sure to follow.
Dust Form: Members of the Order have the ability to take the form of a living cloud of dust. The cloud flows across the ground like smoke and can flow between cracks or under doors. The priest may stay in this form up to 2 hours per day.
Goddess Blessing: This is the greatest ability granted by Kalivasha. The Hand of Fate focuses the pure power of the goddess into a pool of water. The water becomes sanctified and carries the essence of Death. This water is deadly to the touch and is a poison that is instantly fatal to those unfaithful to the goddess. These pools are guarded by all the resources of the Order of Dust and the Order of Ash. The pools are almost always found only in the Order's Fortresses.
