Shar aliases: The Veiled Mistress, The Mistress/Lady of the Night.
The Castigian Cabal are a mix of worshippers, devotees, and followers (depending on their level of devotion) of the goddess Shar, though they know not her name nor much about her true nature. To them, she is a revealer of hidden truths and a patron of hidden wisdom, the one who opened their eyes and exposed the flaws and hypocrisies of the world and its existing power structures. It is through her subtle machinations and manipulative words that the Cabal was formed, with its goal of toppling the existing power structure in order to replace it with their envisioned future - one that is fair and just, though also one in which it is necessary for them to hold the most important positions of power in order to keep it fair and just.

They believe that the current system - both their society and the way the world works - is deeply rooted with flaws and injustices, like a corruption that plagues all. many of its members are people who believe they themselves have been subjected to this, having been unfairly and unjustly denied something they justly deserve. This could be a more prominent position which they were denied; it could be a worker who still struggles after many years of hard work, while their superior “bathes in wealth”; or it could be just about any other scenario where they individual believes the status quo is denying them something which they deserve.
