Bleak Cabal
The Bleak Cabal are a faction who believe that the multiverse has no ultimate meaning, it just is. Any meaning has to come from the individual, not from the outside.
History
7th century BFHR: The Bleak Cabal was founded approximately this time ("more than nine centuries" before 127 YFHR). 374 BFHR: The Bleak Cabal take over the city's asylum, renaming it the Gatehouse, based on a rumor has it that it sits at the edge of the Lady's Mazes. 371 BFHR: A man emerges from the Maze in which he was trapped, and seems confused. He's taken to the Gatehouse where he's placed in a cell. The Bleak Cabal name him Gifad. 27 YFHR: Around this time, the Bleak Cabal open up an almshouse at the Gatehouse, and open it to the poor and lost. 30 YFHR: "Modern" records begin at the Gatehouse. Bleak Cabal Factol Tollysalmon personally notes that Gifad is the oldest resident, and perhaps the first in the Gatehouse's Criminally and Irretrievably Insane wing. 97 YFHR: The last known mass Grim Retreat -- the strange illness which impacts Bleakers -- happens around this time. 124 YFHR: Half-orc Lhar becomes factol of the Bleak Cabal. 130 YFHR: Factol Lhar succumbs to the Grim Retreat, and places Sruce in charge. In the wake of the Faction War, the Bleak Cabal remove their faction insignia and continue in their role of ministering to the needy, operating out of the Gatehouse.

Philosophy
The multiverse ain't supposed to make sense; there's no grand scheme, no deep meaning, no elusive order. The only truth worth finding lies within.
Role
The Bleakers look after the Gatehouse, an asylum in Sigil's Hive Ward. Although it's long looked after the mad, in the last century the Cabal have started ministering to the needy, and have set up an almshouse and an orphanage within.
