The Remnants

In a time long past, a powerful archmage known as the Whispered One attempted to ascend to godhood by conducting the Ritual of Seeding from high atop the citadel of Thar Ampala in the realm of Shadow. The Whispered One surrounded himself with a cult of fanatical mages and empowered murderers to protect him during his ritual of apotheosis. Yet the cult was shattered, and the Whispered One defeated, at the hands of Yos Varda and the Army of the Just. Defeated, ruined, and their Whispered One destroyed, the cult seemingly vanished from the world. Even in apparent death, this dark mage left instructions with his most devoted, allowing for the possibility of his defeat—and the promise of rebirth. The remains of the cult dubbed themselves the Remnants and began laying the groundwork for the Whispered One’s eventual return. With each passing generation, his will grows ever stronger.

Public Agenda

Goals
Following the instructions left behind, the Remnants seek to slowly infiltrate and indoctrinate elements of society to prepare for the next stage in the Whispered One’s plot. Each separate sect of the cult is named as a part of his body, and acts independently to pursue their assigned tasks. These sub-factions are called the Eyes, the Voice, the Blood, the Hand, and the Heart. Each splinter cult is tasked with infiltrating and corrupting a respective societal core, and it’s said that when the time for their dark master’s return is nigh, they shall rejoin as one for the ritual.

Foreign Relations

Relationships

The Remnants are largely unknown, and wish to remain so. Those who are aware of their presence are either members, or have uncovered their insidious existence and seek to stamp it out wherever it may appear. Thus, there are rarely any alliances made by or with the Remnants.
