Magebreaker Cult (/mayge:brak:er / kult/)
Overview
The Magebreaker Cult is a powerful sect of occult practitioners employing some of the most vile Old Magics to ever exist on Marus. They were first founded in opposition to Caydon Rel's coming ascension and rose to prominence when a dark conclave completed a decade-long ritual resulting in the necromantic raising of a Depth Titan's corpse. This Elemental Monstrosity was their ultimate weapon and the pinnacle of their dark arts, with its mighty power they began their centuries-long war against Caydon Rel and his Relic Arts. They are the dreaded reapers that come to harvest whole islands of their populations; Where they abduct the young, the adults are butchered, and the strong are fed upon like prized cattle. They are the all-consuming maw... annihilation made manifest... their threat is a looming dread over all of Marus, both mortal and divine.
When the mighty rulers of the mountain that loomed at the heart of Death’s Basin commanded it to move, Krakoa's great corpse had no choice but to rise to its feet... One part mountain, one part crustacean, and one part serpent... its massive rotting underside was on a scale of its own, the stench wafting off it was like a palpable aura that turned the air for miles into death itself. Putrid blood rained down to stain the land and sea, marking the creature's passage as it lumbered off like a traveling earthquake in search of its next meal.
History
The exact events that culminated in the great Crone conclave that began the seed of the Magebreaker Cult are a mystery to even its highest members. All that is known is twelve ancient and powerful Crones, each a respective master of the Old Magics, gathered in secret beneath Death’s Basin in response to Caydon Rel's terrifying rise to power. They worked carefully over the next decade to remain undetected as they amassed suitable servants, prepared powerful Old Magics, and built the vast ritual circle required to resurrect the greatest of Depth Titans. Blightwaith finally rose for the first time three years after Caydon Rel became the Lord of Magic. It became the flagship in the now-public cult's open war against seemingly every Sophont on Marus.

There are no Gifted among the members of the Magebreakers. The group actively shuns the Relic Arts and willfully slaughters those among them who experiment with their Veils. They instead rely entirely on their grasp of the darkest Old Magics.
