When she’s not working as a barmaid, Emerane becomes the Night, the most wanted thief in Umber. But when the Furie, Umber’s self-proclaimed champion, declares himself her enemy, she’s soon penniless and desperate. Her only recourse is to join the Bard and his ragtag team of rogues as they infiltrate the Cult of Uhlume’s tower in search of untold riches. The tower is not as it seems, however, and our heroes—if we dare call them such—may find more than they bargained for in its murky depths.

Not all is at it seems in the temple that houses the Cult of Uhlume in Night’s Dominion #2. It seems even the priests of this cult, have a dark secret lurking inside the bowels of their temple. I’m curious to see if that secret will be spread in hushed whispers around Umber. Will the city use that to fight the church, or will they do nothing?

The art in this issue by Ted Naifeh (who’s also the writer) is much darker than the previous issue. It helps showcase more of the occult side of the Cult of Uhlume. It’s clear that Naifeh has made the large statue in the temple as a clear focal point of everything else. I wish they gave a little better-viewing angles, but I doubt this will be the last time it appears.
