Cult of the Fallen

The Cult of The Fallen is a secret religious organization, one which worships and works too free the Fallen Deity Sa'Vahn. The original memebers where those of The Fallen's imperial administration, those who helped to keep the people well under the control of Sa'Vahn and inline with his plans. It was thought that nearly all memebers where destroyed when the Capital was ripped to the Astral Sea, and those few who survived where quickly hunted down by the Knights Vigil. It took nearly a millienia before the first cult memebers were seen again. Coinciding with the return of corruption, The Immortal sought out its source and finding it within his own nation. To most the memories of this cult were nearly forgotten so few took serious note.

Although a singluar entity in name, the Cult of the Fallen is an unorganized group. Each chapter operates independently, with no knowledge of any other. Although this may seem counter to their culmantive success, the goals of the Cult of the Fallen are those which do not require great efforts nor orginaztion. A small numbers in the right positions could tip the scales in favor of The Fallen, and the actions of a few although great in deeds could release him from his binds.
