The
Divine's Folly is a group lead by
Rasha Amann. While their existence remains a secret, those aware of the group know their goal is to aim for the destruction of all gods.
History
Early Origins
First founded aroung 690 AR, Divine's Folly was primarily created to be a counterpoint to fervent religious worship that was happening at the time, particularly in Ossalimar. Zeron Shadelance, a grassfolk with a prickly history surrounding the gods, formed the group from people who felt equally as unheard and unwelcome by the gods. He wrote up a small book that would become the founding creed and code of Divine's Folly for the next sixty years and beyond.
After Zeron's death in 711 AR, there was a scramble for the power that the death of the founder had led to. While several people were hoping to gain the power of the position, Otra Nythual was the only serious candidate, with a significant amount of physical and arcane strength, his devotion to the cause was unwavering and bordered on divine in nature itself. He assumed the position of command and swore an oath on the book written by Zeron Shadelance as a focused devotion to the group's ideals and mission.
Rasha's Arrival
In 737 AR, Rasha Amann first approached Divine's Folly enquiring about joining their ranks. The leaders at the time were concerned by how quickly she was able to find them and her true alliegences. However, she was slowly able to convince them with her actions over the next year. She was able to convince them by slaughtering a cleric of Goldhammer who had been her divine charge for many years.
Over the next ten years, Rasha would climb the ranks until she was a commander under Otra Nythual. After Otra was attacked and killed by a member of the Divine's Folly who was cursed by
The Dark Prince, Rasha was chosen to be his successor. At this point Rasha assumed command and expanded the organization's base to form the
La Margal compound. She also focused on forming ties with powerful organizations in the continent to develop their mutual goals.
The Destruction of La Margal
In 754 AR, the La Margal compound was mostly destroyed during
The Star of La Margal. The source or result of the shooting star is unclear, however it caused enough destruction to warrant the main base of Divine's Folly being abandoned and its main commmanders and leader leaving for new locations.
Now, the organization remains decentralized and focused on their goal in their new scattered state. This however, has allowed the commanders and Rasha even more annonimity than before, with each finding a way to mask themselves among other groups that are wishing to invoke chaos, destruction, or grab power.
What an interesting and eclectic group of people. I think I'm most interested in the children of the founder, considering they are both now no longer part of the organisation (albeit for different reasons). I don't really agree with the organisation's goals. Seems a bit all or nothing to me!
