Followers of the Deceased
About a week's march with a good pace to the east of Shagar, there is a set of caves suspected to be the home of one of the few cults that are banned and actively hunted in the Empire of Dercia.
The Followers of the Deceased are believed to have been behind a series of murders on mid to high-level officials in the south of Dercia, the reason members of the cult have given when caught is that they are paving the road for the ancients to return and bring their Ancient Empire with them and with that bring back order to the world.
The cult was placed on the list of watched cults once it became known that the cult was behind the murders and other crimes against the social order in place but it was banned after an attack on the Duke of Ragoons palace in 956 I.C when one of the leaders was caught and to avoid the gallows the cult member spoke about the origins of the cult and their goals.
From around 1280 I.C it has been rumoured that the cult is having a presence in the caves near Shagar but every time the local law enforcement sends a group to investigate the caves are always empty and without traces of being occupied.
While it has not been confirmed but some drunken locals in the local tavern have been known to say that some people in hoods have frequented the site near Shagar where lightning regularly strikes a large round stone.
Public Agenda
What little is known about the public agenda of the cult is that they want to bring back the Ancient Empire that used to rule Mirateia.
Assets
Its believed that the cult is well funded but its not known if the group is using the funds to only stay in the shadows or if they are trying to build an underground army with the goal of overthrowing the governments of the world.
