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.

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.

-

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.

-

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:

-

(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)

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.
