   <li><strong>Protective Security:</strong> The Veiled Enforcers serve as a protective force for the Cabal's valuable assets, leadership, and individuals coerced into cooperation. Often disguised as ordinary servants or unassuming figures, Veiled Enforcers blend seamlessly into the background, maintaining a constant watchful presence. Their vigilant eyes and heightened situational awareness enable them to detect potential threats and swiftly neutralize them without drawing attention. Veiled Hierarchs, in particular, are always accompanied by a retinue of seemingly unremarkable attendants who double as Veiled Enforcers. These hidden protectors are strategically positioned to ensure the safety of their assigned Veiled Hierarch, ready to intervene at a moment's notice. By assuming roles as trusted servants or inconspicuous members of the entourage, Veiled Enforcers remain unseen and unsuspected, creating an added layer of security for the Cabal's leadership.</li>
   <li><strong>Training and Skill Enhancement:</strong> Veiled Enforcers fulfill the vital role of training and honing the skills of new recruits and selected Shadow Initiates who are being groomed to become Veiled Enforcers themselves. They impart their specialized knowledge and expertise to these individuals, ensuring they acquire the necessary skills for covert operations, combat techniques, surveillance, and maintaining discretion. Veiled Enforcers mentor and guide these aspiring operatives, instilling a sense of loyalty, discipline, and commitment to the Cabal's cause. Through rigorous training exercises, simulations, and real-life mission experiences, Veiled Enforcers prepare the recruits to operate with precision and adaptability in high-stakes situations. Additionally, Veiled Enforcers continuously enhance their own skills by engaging in intensive training sessions with one another, honing their combat abilities, refining their techniques, and exchanging knowledge and strategies. This ongoing training and skill development within the ranks of Veiled Enforcers ensure the Cabal's operative force remains formidable and capable of executing their objectives with ruthless efficiency.</li>

 <h2>Locations</h2>
 <p>The Castigian Cabal, being a clandestine organization that would like to keep their existence a secret, does not have any overall stylistic features in their bases of operations.&nbsp;</p>
 <p>While any property owned by a member of the Cabal can in a sense be seen as a base of operation, the Cabal itself tends to have only a select few and highly secure areas where they keep documents and other types of proofs of what the Cabal is up to. Spreading such proof to numerous locations is in their eyes just an unnecessary risk of discovery should one of them be compromised. The few areas they do use to store records and documents tend to be highly secret areas procured by the Veiled Hierarchs themselves for their own and the other Hierarchs. Security around these locations tend to be highly tight, and always include safety features to either extract or destroy all records on a short notice should the need arise.&nbsp;</p>

 <p>Members of rank Magister or Initiate are not given records about the Cabal's other endeavors, with the only written information they're given being written parts of orders given to them through the Shades, and documents given to them to use in a specific scheme assigned to them. They will therefore not have any specific “Cabal location”, but may have a personal hidden location from which they plan and coordinate their part of the Cabal's schemes. What these look like are entirely based on the individual member themselves.</p>
 <p>The Castigian Cabal, being a clandestine organization that would prefer to keep its existence secret, does not have any overall recognizable stylistic features in the bases of operation. They will have some commonalities based on their similar function, though they will avoid creating commonalities beyond what they deem important for the functionality of said location. One of these commonalities is the fact that they tend to have a rather extensive archive section. They'll also have living and work space for their security personnel, which predominately consists of Veiled Enforcers. A common feature is also large blackened mirrors with purple brims, that they use to communicate with other Veiled Hierarchs without having to meet physically. These blackened mirrors are seen as gifts from the Nightsinger to aid their endeavors, given to them through the Nightseer.</p>

 <h2>Relations with other factions</h2>
 <p>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 <a href="/HBW/Eirus/Marcandria/Factions/Golden-Armada">navy</a> and religious organizations (<a href="/HBW/Eirus/Marcandria/Factions/Greenwardens">1</a>, <a href="/HBW/Eirus/Marcandria/Factions/Joybringers">2</a>, <a href="/HBW/Eirus/Marcandria/Factions/Meranzeum">3</a>), 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.</p>
 <p>The Cabal has a few factions which they've more or less propped up to serve specific functions. This includes the<a href="/HBW/The-Wayfarer's-Sea/Krakenbone-Archipelago/Factions/Sea_Barons_of_Krakenbone"> privateer captains of the Krakenbone Archipelago</a>, 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 <a href="/HBW/Eirus/Marcandria/Factions/Vessaia">Vessaia</a>, being responsible for its 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.</p>

 <h2>Stance on succession crisis</h2>
 <p>Cabal were the instigators that caused the succession crisis to happen, seeking to use the chaos and schisms in its wake to make their move and take control over Marcandria.</p>
