Public Agenda

The goal of the People of the Pendulum is to slay good people of the world and release fiends into the mortal world in order to correct their perceived imbalance between good and evil.

Assets

Because of how the cult is organized, each regional leader is largely responsible for their own branch's assets. Some branches can be well-funded, whereas others may be severely underfunded.

Tenets of Faith

The People of the Pendulum believe that the universe operates best when good and evil are perfectly balanced. Furthermore, they are of the opinion that the number of good beings in the world greatly outnumbers the number of evil beings.
