====Exarches of Shadow====
In 5th edition, Clerics of the Exarches require the use of Green Ronin's ''Book of the Righteous'' (Corruption Domain) and ''Book of Fiends'' (Fear, Pain, Ruin Domains) - the exception is Ulasta, whose Death domain comes from the Dungeon Master's Guide.

'''Gravicarius''', the Frozen Star, Lord of the Tower, is exarch of pride, the strongest, most cunning, most beautiful and powerful first-born of his kind. It is Gravicarius who united his siblings against the Primordials and sought to usurp their power, covering the whole world in Shadow, and he will not rest until his—strictly temporary—defeat at their hands is corrected. Gravicarius is primary patron of the occult and the hubristic misuse of arcana. Clerics of Gravicarius have access to Corruption and Tyranny.

'''Tyrexxus''', the Black Horn, the Thundering Drum, is exarch of wrath and rage, the bestial overlord of bloodlust and war. Were it not for a need to ally with the other exarchs towards a common goal, Tyrexxus would almost certainly war against them as well. He is the patron of murderers, berserkers, and all driven by blind, red rage. Clerics of Tyrexxus have access to the domains of Madness and Ruin.

'''Ulasta''', the Great Skull, the Green Flame, and Queen of the Burning Eyes, is exarch of envy, and patron of the unliving, who envy and cling to life, even to the point of existing solely in a corrupt, pale imitation of the living. Those who secretly covet and want what others have call upon Ulasta, asking her to give them the secrets they need to attain their desire. It is said that Ulasta created the first unliving to thwart Selene’s Great Wheel and gave the secrets of lichdom to the Shadow Lords. Clerics of Ulasta have access to the domains of Corruption and Death.

'''In’nassi''', Sovereign of the Crimson Petals, is exarch of lust—not love or even desire, but a carnal hunger that cares about nothing save selfish satisfaction heedless of the cost to others. In’nassi and its fiends appears in a multitude of forms, male, female, both, and neither, all desirable and wanton. “Buried seeds of desire can blossom into crimson petals of lust,” as the old saying goes. Aldins believe this means to express desire in a healthy manner. Some Purists interpret it as the need to root out corrupt desires before they can take root. Clerics of In'nassi have access to the domains of Corruption and Pain.

'''Viasta''', the Broken Seal, the Unbalanced Scale, is exarch of sloth. Although associated with idleness, Viasta is in truth quite an active force, but he is devoted to finding shortcuts, clever cheats, and other ways of avoiding honest dealings of all kinds. He is the patron of the con-artists, the unscrupulous merchant, and the thief as well as the wastrel and the layabout. Clerics of Viasta have access to the domains of Corruption and Fear.

'''Yungo''', the Yawning Maw, the Bottomless Pit, is exarch of gluttony, a grotesque mountain of flesh, fed by a never-ending hunger. Yungo turns the pleasures of life into curses of excess, destroying body and mind, heart and soul in the process. Its adherents often believe greater understanding and power is found through excess. The most mad cultists of the Yawning Maw believe they can receive its blessings and obtain the qualities of others by consuming their victims’ flesh or organs. Clerics of Yungo have access to the domains of Corruption and Madness.

'''Mytaxx''', the Golden Miser, Old Iron Grip, is exarch of greed, the force that gathers and hoards all manner of wealth and resources for no purpose other than to claim them as his own. Some stories say Mytaxx is not even the original exarch but the greediest of the Shadow Lords who literally bought his way into godlike immortality with his vast wealth. Although most dismiss it as fancy, the very attractiveness and persistence of the idea is a testament to Mytaxx’s power. Clerics of Mytaxx have access to the domains of Corruption and Ruin.
