Dragon Cult of Doresh Sol
The cult of Doresh Sol isn't just some small group of crazed cultist but an entire community in the tens of thousands based around the leadership and tribute to Doresh Sol based in the Kher Mountains and many outstretching areas.
Structure
The cult of Doresh Sol is a collective of cities, towns, villages, and settlements in the Kher Mountains that all pay tribute to their dragon master offering prayers and offering in turn for protection and power. Doresh Sol is tributed as the king or high lord to many and to some even heralded as a demigod. Doresh is the law and ruler and his appointed offering collectors and military leaders are to be shown just as much respect in his absence.
Culture
The cult is founded on the worship of Doresh however an idea is permeated amongst it's citizens that is reflected largely in their work ethic and how they view outsiders: "Only the strong may rule, through strength we rise and in weakness we perish."
Public Agenda
The cults primary goal is keeping Doresh Sol appeased and working for his constructed purposes and agendas. Outside of that it is to grow as a society into the strongest version of themselves they can be, to be a part of the cult is strive for greatness and those with no drive have no place under Doresh Sol.
History
The actual cult has been going for as long as Doresh Sol himself has lived and has roots in the mountains denizens who would praise and offer him gifts in exchange for safety and protection.
The start of what the cult would come to be in modern day came when High Lord Octavian after his exile from Central first came to the Northlands roughly 800 years ago to settle the mostly untamed area. He set up residence, keeps, and a significant city in the Kher Mountains that he would name Dominus. The city would stand for 500 years before Doresh Sol unamused by the High Lord's progeny refusal to pay tribute for living in his territory would take the city and surrounding areas for himself renaming it Kher Keep. Numerous assaults by Lords and angered dissenters would see Doresh Sol expanding his domain and consequently increasing the size of his cult until finally his cult and military forces grew so large that many finally understood the futility and would either join themselves to the cult for the sake of survival or pay tribute to avoid destruction.
