Every inhabitant of the brass realms that is afflicted with madness or mental illness in some way is a follower of Delirium, willing or not. Most however are unaware that they feed the god of insanity. However they came upon their affliction, delirium whispers to them in their dreams and grants power and insight to those that embrace their madness, though most do not remember it come the morning.Those that worship delirium willingly and aware can become true priests of madness. Priests of delirium are powerful but unpredictable and thus dangerous. They preach madmen's knowledge and every sermon they hold risks turning its listeners insane. They use madness as a weapon along with trickery and deceit, attacking the sanity of their enemies in every way.
Clerical mandates:
Many followers of delirium keep to personal rules and patterns of behavior as islands of stability amidst their crumbling sanity.This merely delays the inevitable.
