Mândri's Prideful Few

The Cult of Pride

Do you wish for power?
Do you hope for solace?
Do you want even a sliver of self-pride?
Then all you need to do is take my hand.

- Mândri, the Fegnaór of Pride

Within the depths of Mândri's frightful crawling palace lies a group of individuals who have completely given in to their own prideful and selfish desires. Perhaps one wishes to gain strength, another wealth, and yet another knowledge, but all of them have sacrificed everything to get what they want, no matter the cost. They have turned to Mândri, the Fegnaór of Pride, to feel pride themselves. In the end, they are simply robbed of everything good within their souls. Members of Mândri's Prideful Few scour the land, strategically destroying all in their wake. This is the doing of Artukos: the only way that they can feel pride in their lives is to destroy the lives of those around them.

Structure

At any given time, the cult of Mândri's Prideful Few has a number of high cultists ranging from four to seven individuals. Although Mândri himself oversees the operation of the cult, his high cultists act as his voice, directing the cultists one way or the other. However, if Mândri becomes even slightly irritated with one of his high cultists, they will promptly disappear and a suitable replacement will be chosen.

Culture

In secret, every member of Mândri's Prideful Few hates all of their compatriots. So is the way of pride: it is one of the most potent poisons known throughout all the Wraith Globe. Because of this, some cultists may even murder one another, all to satisfy their unquenchable pride.

Tenets of Faith

In all senses of the term, the Cult of Mândri's Prideful Few is religious anarchy. The only individual that is spared from this anarchy is Mândri himself, for he is the puppet master holding all of the strings. The only thing that defines this cult is the insatiable lust for power, knowledge, or wealth; anything that one can take pride in. This lust is not natural. It is a seed planted by Mândri when an individual is initiated into the cult.
