<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 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 be of use to the Cabal itself.</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.

<p>Members within the Cabal hold the titles of Veiled Initiate, Veiled Magistrate, and Veiled Hierarch. In addition are the Shades and the Veiled Enforcers, primarily Nightsworn Concalian servants of the Nightsinger who have been sent by her to serve as specialized operatives for the Cabal. They are thus not part of the Cabal's main hierarchy, but rather forces at its side that performs specialized tasks on behalf of the Cabal's members. The Shades act as the Cabal's information network, while the Veiled Enforcers act as its military force. Lastly there's the Nightseer, the de-facto leader of the Cabal whose responsible for leading the discussions held the Veiled Hierarchs, and whose responsible for acting as the Nightsinger's voice when the Veiled Hierarchs discuss and coordinates the Cabal's future plans.</p> <p>Members within the Cabal hold the titles of Veiled Initiate, Veiled Magistrate, and Veiled Hierarch.

Initiates, magistrates, and Hierarchs may all have their own servants, employees, and mercenaries, typically connected to the individual's position outside of the Cabal. These will rarely have any insight into the Cabal's existence. They'll often have a varying degree of knowledge into the specific member they serve's endeavors, as the Cabal member will rarely be able to perform all aspects of the schemes they've been assigned personally, though these servants are never told anything tangible about a larger force being behind it all.</p>
<p>All new members start out as a Veiled Initiate, who work under a Veiled Magistrate or directly under a Veiled Hierarch, whom in both cases they very rarely know the identity off. When the execution of one of the Cabal's schemes have been delegated to the Initiate's Magistrate or Hierarch superior, that superior will delegate out tasks to themselves and their subordinate Veiled Initiates in accordance with each person's position and suitability for each aspect of the scheme. The Cabal will evaluate their competency, i.e. value to the Cabal, and loyalty through how they execute the tasks assigned to them. While all members start out as Veiled Initiates, those who already hold much resources and influence will typically rise up to a Veiled Magistrate a lot quicker simply due to all the means they have available to mete out the parts assigned to them. The Cabal simultaneously sees their already existing levels of resources and influence as proof of their competency. As the criteria for advancement is competency and loyalty, they've thus effectively already fulfilled the competency requirement, meaning the only hurdle left for them to rise beyond the rank of Veiled Initiate is for them to prove their loyalty. The Cabal will typically ensure that a person's been tasked with, and have dutifully executed, at least one morally difficult assignment as proof of their absolute loyalty and devotion to the Cabal's cause and beliefs before their advancement to Veiled Magistrate.</p> <p>All new members start out as a Veiled Initiate, who work under a Veiled Magistrate or directly under a Veiled Hierarch, whom in both cases they very rarely know the identity off.
