The Sisterhood

The uniform of members of the Sisterhood.

The Sisterhood is an ancient Zamorakian order dating back to the Saradominist kingdom of Hallowvale in the Second Age. Originally an order of Saradominist healers (whose name is not known), they converted to Zamorak after seeing Phosani, the Justiciar of the Lion, turn away from Saradomin's teachings. Those who refused to abandon his teachings were either killed or given to the vampyres as blood tithes.

After the order was "enlightened", the order became known as the Sisterhood, with Phosani as its leader (who they refer to as 'Mother'), and founded the town Slepe in eastern Morytania. Soon after, they began expanding underground, constructing a large sanctuary beneath the town, where they were free to perform their rites and offerings in relative peace.

One day, Otrava, a high-ranking member of the Sisterhood and its divine healer, managed to create a formula known as the Elixir of Everlasting, which halts the aging process and heals the drinker's scars and wounds as if they were never there. Phosani, wanting to live as long as her vampyre allies, drank the elixir alongside other high-ranking members of The Sisterhood.

However, the elixir had a side effect that the elders were not fully aware of: though it did indeed allow them to live longer in their prime, the drinker sleeps for longer and longer periods of time, until they eventually become trapped in an eternal slumber, never to wake up. All those who had imbibed the elixir succumbed to the side effects, and in accordance to the laws set by Phosani, the townspeople moved the sleeping members of the Sisterhood deep into the Sanctuary with all their possessions and hid the formula itself away to prevent others from suffering its side effects.

In recent years, the members of the Sisterhood has become occupied with the return of the "Sleeper Plague", whom the elder members of the Sisterhood fell victim to all those years ago. Though the townspeople falsely accused and executed the Painted One for causing the plague, it was later discovered to be caused by the vampyre noble Damien Leucurte and his assistant Kroy, who recreated the elixir and gave it to the townspeople through their Bloody Bracers, Slepe's local drink. The afflicted people has been brought to the Zamorakian church in Slepe, where members of the Sisterhood attend them.
