Category:Bounty Hunters: The Blood Cultists: Difference between revisions

Known to themselves and the general public as Neo-Alexandrians.

The nefarious entities behind the thefts of the books from Wydmoor University, they're pretty creepy and have some alarming theological ideas. The Bounty Hunters are tasked with investigating and, maybe, ending their threat.

Details from the Azure Geese

What is known is that the cult showed up in Moyria's Crossing, which is how the Geese and Dutchess came to found out about them.

Their agenda is unknown, but it's almost certain they are the ones behind the book robbery.

The only connection all the books have is a connection to the earliest days of New Wydmoor, so the cult is interested in the Refounding, but doesn't care about pre-war history.

Most of the cultists are human, and seem to come from areas around the Northern Coast.

The cult operates as cells with three person leadership.

The cult is spreading a heresy of the Second Coming of Alexandria, who has already arrived on the mainland.

They appear to despise warlocks.

The overall goal of the cult seems to "Install Alexandria on her Earthly Throne"

They were unaware of the shapeshifters or the depth of the cults presence in Wydmoor proper, so the cult is very good at hiding and blending in so might be more entrenched in positions than they appear.

The cult seems to be made up of an amalgam of races. Humans, unsurprisingly, but followed by a substantial number of Dwarves.

Halflings don't seem to be super huge on joining the cult, but in areas where they operate more openly they honor the Concord of the Highways, so the cult gets along okay with them.

They seem to have a broad castes or ranks or whatever in their cells.

Scribners, Castigators, and Glossillalists you've already met, but there seems to be a sort of "low officer" known as the Evangelist who is likely some sort of cleric.

Evangelists: Antipaladins

Evangelists: Martial Bards

Castigator: Mage Slayer Monk

Glossilialist: Dexterity Rager

Scriber: The Only Acceptable Warlock

The notes also do give inormation about all the cult locations and activity known about in Moyria's Crossing.

We also know:

• At least two of the administrative units within the organization. Modeled after Alexandria's Stand of long ago, they are headed by members of a small circle of advisors who support her strategically and emotionally.
  • The Mosites, lead by Mose the Traveled, who came with the Avatar from the West but was originally from Gildenhome. His sub-sect is modeled after the Blackguard Paladins, Arek's storied counterparts of the original Paladins (who were bodyguards to the child oracles the original gods spoke through). They are the militant arm of the Neo-Alexadrians, directing and executing its expressions of military strength.
  • The Blood Scribes, in charge of distributing literature. Presumably also headed by a confidant of the Avatar, although who that is is still unknown, as are more specifics of their raison d'etre (although it is presumably magical in nature).
• The Wydmoor cell's three lieutenants:
  • Drakaar the Mosite
  • Katalin the Blood Scribe
  • Wan-wu of the West
    • The party has met this one. He's an asshole.
• The cult is based in Nia-Agliare, following a figure called The Lady, who may or may not also the person they believe is the second coming of Alexandria.
• They are able to target a teleport very precisely, which implies big-league caster support and some form of prepared target or high-resolution communication.
• They have diligent scryers (or one very diligent scryer).
• Their rituals are heavily blood-based.
