<p>The Cabal has a hand in almost everything that goes on in Marcandria, and boast to themselves that they have planned for every eventuality and every possible outcome. They believe that even if a few of their endeavors goes awry, they have their hands in so much that they view it as not making a difference. “In a web of a thousand threads, plucking one thread makes no difference”, as they might say. They try to convey to their members that so long as they let Shar guide them as they traverse these dark paths they are destined to reach this new dawn with a fair and just society, where they are all given what they justly deserve. Most of the Cabal's larger projects and endeavors are credited to exist because of Shar's guidance - that her guidance has told them that this project/endeavor is part of the best path towards their goals. The most devoted members have absolute confidence in Shar's guidance, and absolute certainty achieving their envisioned future.</p> <p>The Cabal has a hand in almost everything that goes on in Marcandria, and boast to themselves that they have planned for every eventuality and every possible outcome.

<p>The Castigian Cabal comprises individuals who worship, devote themselves, or follow (depending on their level of devotion) an enigmatic goddess known as Shar. To them, Shar represents the revealer of hidden truths and the patron of hidden wisdom. It was through her subtle machinations and manipulative words that the Cabal was formed. Their ultimate goal is to topple the existing power structure and replace it with their envisioned future—a future they believe to be fair and just, albeit one where they must hold the most crucial positions of power to maintain fairness and justice.</p> <p>The Castigian Cabal comprises individuals who worship, devote themselves, or follow (depending on their level of devotion) an enigmatic goddess known as Shar—whom even they themselves know next to nothing about her true nature. To them, Shar represents the revealer of hidden truths and the patron of hidden wisdom, and to be the one who opened their eyes and exposed the flaws and hypocrisies of the world and its existing power structures. It was through her subtle machinations and manipulative words that the Cabal was formed. Their ultimate goal is to topple the existing power structure and replace it with their envisioned future—a future they believe to be fair and just, albeit one where they must hold the most crucial positions of power to maintain this supposed fairness and justice.</p>
<p>The Cabal firmly believes that the current system, encompassing both society and the world's workings, is deeply flawed and unjust. They perceive it as a pervasive corruption that plagues all. Many members of the Cabal harbor a personal sense of injustice, having been unjustly denied something they rightfully deserve. This denial could manifest as the denial of a prominent position, the struggle of a hardworking individual who remains impoverished while their superiors thrive in wealth, or any situation where they feel the status quo denies them their just deserts. In their eyes, the current structure perpetuates inequality, injustice, exploitation, and widespread suffering, except for those who created and perpetuate it. The blame for this corrupt and unjust reality, as masterfully conveyed by Shar, extends not only to those who hold power but are not members of the Cabal but also to the deities themselves. Consequently, the Cabal regards other deities, such as the Diostri, as architects of the corrupt status quo.</p> <p>The Cabal firmly believes that the current system, encompassing both society and the world's workings, is deeply flawed and unjust.

<p>Shar has effectively convinced Cabal members that only unwavering commitment and absolute loyalty to their cause can pave the way to their envisioned future. They view half-measures and compromises as destined to fail, which is why they advocate for the complete dismantling of the current structures, regardless of the cost. They believe that one must be willing to go to any length, employing any means—no matter how gruesome or sinister—to achieve their goals. Unyielding dedication and loyalty to the cause are paramount. Progressing toward their objectives necessitates substantial sacrifice and immense cost, even to the point of compromising ones own morality. The Cabal firmly believes that they alone can bear this burden and that traversing the darkest paths stained with blood is necessary to achieve their ultimate goal: a new era characterized by their envisioned fairness and justice. In their perspective, all the sacrifices, terrible deeds, and inflicted suffering will be justified once their fair and just age comes to fruition—a time when the suffering they have caused will be finite, whereas the unchanged current system will continue to perpetuate it.</p> <p>Shar has effectively convinced Cabal members that only unwavering commitment and absolute loyalty to their cause can pave the way to their envisioned future.

<p>Operating from the shadows is a fundamental principle for the Cabal, mirroring their enigmatic patron, Shar. They consider secrecy of paramount importance, even among their own ranks, to safeguard their endeavors from adversaries. Consequently, most members possess minimal knowledge of their fellow associates. This anonymity serves to shield the Cabal as a whole in the event of a member's compromise or betrayal. Furthermore, they believe that subterfuge and manipulation are their most effective tools, whether it involves persuading individuals to join their cause or covertly forcing their support or unknowing contribution to their efforts.</p> <p>Operating from the shadows is a fundamental principle for the Cabal, mirroring their enigmatic patron, Shar.

<p>The shadows grant the Cabal the ability to perceive the truths of the world. They believe that people's true nature is most evident when they believe themselves to be unobserved. Likewise, the Cabal perceives the injustices of the current order most clearly when it believes it operates without scrutiny. By skillfully manipulating events from the darkness, the Cabal not only witnesses individuals' most vile and self-serving tendencies, reinforcing their belief in the inherent corruption of the current order but also exercises its influence while remaining unseen.</p> <p>The shadows grant the Cabal the ability to perceive the truths of the world.
