  1. The Assassination of the entire Marcandrian royal family: The Cabal were responsible for the Royal Family's Assassination at the Royal Estate in the Marcandrian capital of Vessina. While by no means the Cabal's first scheme, it can generally be seen as the point where the Cabal went from quietly growing its forces, to actively trying to degrade and take control over Marcandrian society. The Cabal quietly infiltrated the Royal Estate at night, assassinated the King, Queen, and their children, before setting the estate aflame. With no clear heir to the Marcandrian throne, Marcandria entered a several years-long succession crisis, creating schisms between the other great noble Houses as they all vied for the Marcandrian throne.
  2. The Grand Scheme / Breaching the Seal: The Nightsinger seeks to create a breach in the seal that protects the world from the influence of otherworldly beings, aiming to use the breach to become the dominating force on the planet. The Nightseer, and the Nightsworn Concalians, have been convinced by the Nightsinger that this is the only way for them to escape their current predicament and return permanently to the material plane. This scheme involves a grand magical ritual performed at the old Concalian capital of Sion, capitalizing on the damage already made to the seal there to force a breach through blasting it with extreme amounts of magical energy. Several of the Cabal's other large schemes are designed to help prepare for this scheme/ Much of the Cabal is kept unaware of this endgame, with the Nightseer slowly preparing them to make sure they accept it as a necessity.

The Castigian Cabal very much operates as puppeteers. They prefer other factions having no knowledge of the Cabal's existence, while infiltrating and eventually taking control of them from within. The Cabal despises what they see as part of the current corrupt order, which includes the Marcandrian state (royalty and non-aligned nobles), its religious organizations, and powerful individuals not aligned with the Cabal. This feeling of despise would likely be mutual had the beforementioned had any knowledge of the Cabal's existence.

The Cabal has a few factions which they've more or less propped up to serve specific functions. This includes the privateer captains of the Krakenbone Archipelago, who they instigated into taking control of the archipelago through a coup. The Cabal use these privateers to discretely transport goods, so that it can not be traced back to members of the Cabal should a shipment be compromised. The Cabal are also behind the Vessaia movement, being behind it's very creation. They use the Vessaia to undermine the non-aligned rulers in Marcandria, acting as rebels who also want to get rid of Marcandria's current inequality and unfairness. While this goal is very similar to what the Cabal itself wants, the Cabal itself sees the members of the Vessaia as simple fools not worthy of becoming members, that the Cabal can use to preoccupy and distract the Marcandrian nobility.

 

// hates current order, so the Marcandrian State (royalty, non-aligned nobility), and other highly influential people not aligned with the Cabal tends to be disliked greatly. This feeling would likely be mutual should they also have known of the Cabal's existence.
