Any of your good friends or enemies can be a Black Flame follower, but you will never discover it.. and if you do both you and the Black Flame follower will surely die (true death). As Ebonwumon said: You do NOT talk about the Black Flame. The BF followers are not organised like other religions. They have no priests, regular meetings and gatherings. They infiltrate all parts of society to slowly corrupt it. For all we know even Sharven or the Octarch might be one of them..
So, how to worship the Black Flame? Do it in uttermost secrecy, not necessarily by praying or ceremonies, but in all your actions. By infiltrating other religions, political societies, merchants and mercenaries. Trick them into doing the biddings of the Black Flame, without them knowing that they do so. The Black Flames goal is total destruction of Yliakum, not by raising an army to do the work, but by pitting other armies against each other. Luring friends to become enemies, lovers to become haters and family members to betray each other.
Back in the days when I was a GM we killed off a character who was openly Black Flame. The player was asked to delete the character, as he was poisoned by other BF members.
