<h3>Specific efforts, schemes, and endeavors</h3>
<p>The Cabal acts as an unseen hand, a puppeteer. It has a hand in every major decision that goes on in Marcandria, and is either responsible for or at the very least been involved in all the major events and tragedies that have befallen Marcandria since the early years of the 14th century. Their most infamous scheme is no doubt the assassination of the entire Marcandrian royal family in the winter of 1349, which cast the Marcandrian nobility into a succession crisis, fracturing their unity as the major houses bicker about whose to become the new monarch. The fact that none but the Cabal knows who was behind the assassination has further caused a divide among the nobility, each constantly questioning who among their peers might've been involved in the assassination. The Cabal's aim with this scheme was simple: United, the nobility hold the most powerful hand in Marcandria. But, fractured and divided, they can be turned against each other so that they may tear each other apart.</p>

<li>Assassination of royal family</li>
<li>Controlling Ravanelli family</li>
<li>Test ritual beneath Alatri</li>
<li>Instigate orc invasion of brevora to occupy “The Bear”</li>
<li>Di Vesci's aim at becoming new monarch</li>
<li>Go through plans and status for remaining nobility<ul>
<li>What their plans are for each major family.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Infiltration and stealing resources from Meranzeum. Want its eventual collapse. Long term plan, since Meranzeum is the most stable out of all the influential factions.</li>
<li>Fulcrum - take control, have Fulcrum use resources to unwittingly aid Cabal, then bring non-cabal members of Fulcrum to ruin, so that it is left firmly in the hands of the Cabal.</li>
<li>Ritual spanning entirety of Sion<ul>
<li>Gathering and fusing of Concalian Power Cores to act as batteries and conduits.</li>
<li>Gathering of magical items and things with high levels of magic to charge up the power cores and ritual.</li>
<li>Transport of everything that's needed. Done by pirates. Taken to NE shores of Ruins of Concalia, before being transported the last bit by members loyal to Cabal.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Remember to add ex Enforcer Veiled Hierarch that assassinated Ari's sister. Still does assassinations from time to time due to enjoyment of it. Has a memento of every kill? Killmonger style perhaps?</li>

<p>&lt;Chapter on Shades and chapter on Enforcers next&gt;</p>
<p>Shades:</p>
<ul>
<li>Basically shadow operatives. Planting evidence, stealing documents, etc are their forte.</li>
<li>Also does communication and distributes orders.</li>
