<p>Individual members do of course have it as their personal goal to make sure their rightful place is as high up in the social hierarchy as possible. The Cabal often uses promises of granting people a specific position in their new envisioned future as a way to help convince them to join their cause. This most typically takes the form of promising them the position of the superior which the individual believe to have unjustly denied them something they see themselves as having rightfully deserved. The Cabal is in constant need of recruiting new members to expand their reach and influence, and thus always have numerous schemes ongoing that aim to either convince someone to join them as a faithful member, or force someone to serve the Cabal through coercions and threats.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Cabal are accurely awaare thaat they'll stand little chance should all the other influential actors in Marcandria unite against them-which is one of the primary reasons as to why they put so much emphasis on operating from the shadows, with their schemes remaining unnoticed. Accomplishing all of their other goals without their schemes being discovered is a goal in an of itself.</p>
<p>General strategy in regards to other influential actors are to recruit those they can to their cause - either willingly or forcefully. The rest they aim to turn against each other, to keep them occupied-with their sights away from the Cabal's endeavors - as well as to drain their resources. They thus seek to consolidate and expand their own influence, coverrtly, while keeping their adversaries divided and pitied against one another. They also seek to create internal conflict in severaal of the faactions. Generally want adversaries to be roughly evenly matched, so thaat insteaad of one stomping their other, they end up in a prolonged attritional conflict that leaves both sides so weakened thaat they pose no threaat to the Cabal's plans.</p>
<p>The road to this ultimate goal is complicated and multi-faceted, involving the manipulation and ulitlization of all the other powerful actors within Marcandria. Below are the overarching aims regarding each of these actors:</p>
<p>(Factions: Nobility, Marcenguard, Golden Navy Caavaliers; Meranzeum, Greenwardens, Joybringers, Seaspeakers; Vessaia, Fulcrum, Wayfarer's Union; Pirates, Montars, Virtue's End, Canary Chateau, Ciprian Ring, Crimson Weave)</p>
<ul>
<li>Use Vessaia to undermine Nobility's authority, to have it escalate into open armed rebellion, and thus ruin what remains of stability within Marcandria.</li>
<li>Take control of as many of the Fulcrum and Union's resources as possible. Those they cannot turn to their own benefit, shall be aimed at themselves through instigating infighting within these factions.</li>
<li>Montars will eventually either me made to serve, or will be eliminated.</li>
</ul>

<p>Shar, their enigmatic and mysterious guide, possess an entirely different set of goals than those the Cabal have. She has grown tired of the others deities' ploy - who sought to isolate the world from the realms beyond, leaving all of the deities unable to interfere with the world. Luckily for her, the seal is imperfect, and slowly deteriorating, with more and more cracks slowly appearing. Shar seeks to undo the seal those deities placed upon the world, in a way that is favorable to he, by making sure the biggest cracks that appear when the seal shatters are linked to where Shar herself is strong - the Shadowfell. With this, she aims to have an upper necessary to make the world fall to entropy - to crumble and succumb, leaving only disorder, darakness, and loss.</p>

<h4>CHATGPT REWRITE:</h4>
<p>"Driven by their unwavering devotion to their enigmatic guide and fueled by a deep sense of personal injustice, the Castigian Cabal is resolute in its goal to dismantle the prevailing power structures they perceive as corrupt and unfair. Their ultimate aim is to construct a society they deem fair and just, where every individual is accorded their rightful place. To achieve this vision, the Cabal firmly believes in the absolute commitment and unwavering loyalty of its members.</p>
<p>Thriving in secrecy and manipulation, the Cabal operates from the shadows, utilizing covert tactics and embracing the sacrifices and dark paths necessary to pave the way for their envisioned future. Guided by Shar, they navigate a complex web of influence, confident in their destined role to reshape the world in alignment with their beliefs.</p>
<p>Recognizing the potential threat posed by united opposition, the Cabal places great emphasis on maintaining secrecy. Their goal is to ensure that their plans and existence remain unknown and unnoticed. Operating covertly enables them to accomplish their objectives without interference, while also striving to keep adversaries divided and in conflict with one another. The Cabal seeks to recruit influential individuals from other factions, often enticing them with promises of prominent positions in the envisioned future. For those who resist, the Cabal employs coercion and threats, using their resources and power to bring ruin upon anything the individual holds dear.</p>
<p>The Cabal seeks to control those who cannot be swayed through infighting or conflicts with other factions. By weakening adversaries or diverting their resources, the Cabal aims to usurp their positions or render them too preoccupied to interfere with their plans. Each major faction presents a unique challenge, requiring tailored strategies from the Cabal to achieve their objectives effectively.</p>
<p>While individual members strive for personal advancement within the social hierarchy, the Cabal leverages promises of specific positions in their envisioned future to entice potential recruits. Those who join the cause are seen as vital for expanding the Cabal's reach and influence. Consequently, the organization perpetually engages in schemes to persuade individuals to become faithful members or to coerce and force others into serving their interests.</p>
<p>In contrast to the Cabal's aspirations, Shar, their enigmatic guide, harbors distinct goals. Discontented with the deities' ploy to isolate the world from the realms beyond, she seeks to dismantle the seal that restrains them. Shar aims to ensure that the seal's eventual shattering aligns with her own strength in the Shadowfell, allowing her to exert dominion over the ensuing chaos and darkness, precipitating the world's descent into entropy."</p>
