<h2>Goals</h2> <h2>Goals</h2>
<p>Driven by unwavering devotion to their enigmatic guide and fueled by a profound belief in their cause, the Castigian Cabal is determined to <strong>dismantle the prevailing power structures—both in society and in the world's workings—</strong>that they perceive as corrupt and unfair. Their <strong>ultimate aim is to replace these structures with a society they deem fair and just—a society where those who uphold it does not limit, deny advancements, or hinder an individual's pursuit of personal aspirations</strong>.&nbsp;</p> <p>Driven by unwavering devotion to their enigmatic guide and fueled by a profound belief in their cause, the Castigian Cabal is determined to <strong>dismantle the prevailing power structures—both in society and in the world's workings—</strong>that they perceive as corrupt and unfair. Their <strong>ultimate aim is to replace these structures with a society they deem fair and just—a society where those who uphold it does not limit, deny advancements, or hinder an individual's pursuit of personal aspirations</strong>.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Cabal aims to accomplish this <strong>by first seizing control of a wide array of resources and influential positions</strong>. <strong>Simultaneously,</strong> they strategically work towards <strong>degrading the integrity of institutions they do not intend to control, as well as undermining the endeavors and wealth of influential individuals who are not part of their ranks</strong>. They aim to<strong> orchestrate the collapse of institutions and powerful entities outside their control</strong>, and as the unfolding chaos ensues, the Cabal intends to <strong>position themselves into all key positions, with an extensive network of resources and influential positions, ensuring their members collectively dominate what remains and what will be built after</strong>. With this consolidation of power, they will embark on a comprehensive reconstruction, molding the world according to their envisioned future, where they hold positions of unrivaled authority.</p> <p>The Cabal aims to accomplish this <strong>by first seizing control of a wide array of resources and influential positions</strong>. <strong>Simultaneously,</strong> they strategically work towards <strong>degrading the integrity of institutions they do not intend to control, as well as undermining the endeavors and wealth of influential individuals who are not part of their ranks</strong>.

<p>The Cabal is acutely aware that they stand little chance in reaching their goals should all the other influential factions in Marcandria decide to unite against them. <strong>Maintaining secrecy is a goal in itself for the Cabal. </strong>They go to great lengths to ensure their plans and schemes remain unknown, and that the existence of their organization remains unnoticed. While their actions may elicit reactions within Marcandrian society, they meticulously avoid leaving evidence that could point back their members, or evidence that could indicate the action to have been part of a larger scheme. The Cabal <strong>strives to keep their adversaries divided and in conflict with one another</strong>. The Cabal is always seeking to expand its membership base, and are therefore always on the lookout for people who could prove useful to the Cabal, and who has something the Cabal can use to subtly indoctrinate them into their ranks. Likewise, they constantly aim to find new secrets they can exploit in order to coerce people into serving their cause.</p> <p>The Cabal is acutely aware that they stand little chance in reaching their goals should all the other influential factions in Marcandria decide to unite against them. <strong>Maintaining secrecy is a goal in itself for the Cabal. </strong>They go to great lengths to ensure their plans and schemes remain unknown, and that the existence of their organization remains unnoticed.

<p>Most of the Cabal's schemes revolve around either elevating their members' positions or diminishing their adversaries'. These schemes encompass increasing members' influence and available resources, securing higher positions within other factions where they also hold membership, or bringing adversaries to ruin to open up coveted positions that a member of the Cabal may fill. <strong>These endeavors collectively aim to enhance the Cabal's relative influence and resources, ultimately contributing to the fulfillment of their overarching goal—bringing about their envisioned future. Individual members also harbor personal aspirations, primarily centered on securing the highest possible positions in the Cabal's envisioned future</strong>. The Cabal, and its members, thus tend to display highly opportunistic tendencies.</p> <p>Most of the Cabal's schemes revolve around either elevating their members' positions or diminishing their adversaries'.

<p>The Cabal's enigmatic guide, the Nightsinger, has her own aspirations, for which the Cabal is but a tool. Discontented with the other deities' ploy to seal off the world from the realms beyond, thus rendering beings from those places, including the deities themselves, unable to directly influence the world,<strong> the Nightsinger seeks to exploit the seal's imperfect and deteriorating nature. Her aim is to create a significant breach in a location closely aligned to a place where she holds great strength—the Shadowfell—with one such place being conveniently located in the ruins of the old Concalian capitol of Sion, just south of Marcandria's borders</strong>. Through this breach, <strong>the Nightsinger intends to make herself the dominating influence in the world, causing it to fall into entropy—to crumble and succumb, leaving only disorder, darkness, and loss, where all are ultimately forced under her sway</strong>. This goal is entirely unknown to both the Cabal and the Nightsworn Concalians who aid them as Shades and Veiled Enforcers, with all ultimately being nothing but puppets in the Nightsinger's grand scheme, to be discarded when no longer of use.</p> <p>The Cabal's enigmatic guide, the Nightsinger, has her own aspirations, for which the Cabal is but a tool.

<h2>Organization</h2> <h2>Organization</h2>
<p>The Castigian Cabal operates under a strict hierarchical structure, where each member is expected to dutifully carry out the orders of their superiors without question. Deviation from these orders is only permissible when the requested actions contradict the Cabal's core interests and could be considered treasonous. The Cabal places great importance on the unwavering commitment and loyalty demonstrated by its members, especially when executing morally challenging tasks. Successfully completing assigned missions, as directed by the Cabal, is regarded as a testament to one's competence, dedication, and eligibility for advancement. Advancement when it comes to the Cabal is thus almost entirely based on merit. The Cabal will reward good service by improving and expanding on what the person's been promised in the Cabal's new world order, operating as a motivator where ultimately those who have aided the Cabal the most are promised the most prestigious positions. The Cabal will likewise reward those who serve them well by facilitating events so that they're given a more prestigious position within current Marcandrian society, typically close to what they've been promised in the Cabal's envisioned new order. This acts both as further motivation to stay loyal to the Cabal, and to place the member in a position where they're well equipped to properly usurp the promised position further down the Cabal's plans.</p> <p>The Castigian Cabal operates under a strict hierarchical structure, where each member is expected to dutifully carry out the orders of their superiors without question.
