<p>The Cabal is acutely aware that they stand little chance in reaching their goals should all of the other influential factions in Marcandria decide to unite against them. They thus place great emphasis on maintaining secrecy, and go to great lengths to make sure their plans and schemes remain unknown and their existence remain unnoticed. The acts they commit may cause a lot of reaction within Marcandrian society, but they always make sure that no evidence points back to them, and that there are no indicators that an event is part of a larger scheme. Maintaining secrecy is thus a goal in and of itself for the Cabal, one that they go to great lengths to maintain. The Cabal also strives to keep their adversaries divided and in conflict with one another. This aims tie down and expend their adversaries' resources, both to reduce the risk of discovery, and to prevent them from being able to interfere with the Cabal's schemes.</p>
|
||||
<p>The Cabal constantly aims to recruit influential individuals from other factions, and often entice them with promises of prominent positions in their envisioned future to help persuade them. Those who are approached but refuse to join the cause are either killed off or forced to cooperate through the use of coercion and threats. Anything the person holds dear, be that possessions, reputation, or loved ones, may be threatened—with the Cabal having both the means and a history of following through on such threats if necessary.</p>
|
||||
<p>The Cabal seeks to control those who cannot be swayed through infighting or conflicts with other factions. By weakening adversaries or diverting their resources, the Cabal aims to usurp their positions or render them too preoccupied to interfere with their plans. Each of the major faction presents a unique scenario, due to organization and how deep the Cabal is able to infiltrate their existing ranks, thus requiring tailored strategies from the Cabal to achieve their objectives for each of these factions effectively.</p>
|
||||
<p>Many of the members seek to place themselves as high up the social hierarchy as possible in the Cabal's envisioned future, with the Cabal leveraging promises of specific positions in their envisioned future as a way to entice potential recruits.</p>

<p>Individual members do of course have it as their personal goal to make sure their rightful place is as high up in the social hierarchy as possible. The Cabal often uses promises of granting people a specific position in their new envisioned future as a way to help convince them to join their cause, with those who feel they have been unjustly denied advancement by their superior often being offered their superior's position in the envisioned future.</p>
|

<p>This most typically takes the form of promising them the position of the superior which the individual believe to have unjustly denied them something they see themselves as having rightfully deserved. The Cabal is in constant need of recruiting new members to expand their reach and influence, and thus always have numerous schemes ongoing that aim to either convince someone to join them as a faithful member, or force someone to serve the Cabal through coercions and threats.</p>

<p>Their schemes are also constantly aimed at elevating the influence of their existing members, consequently increasing the Cabal's influence and resources in the process. The organization perpetually engages in schemes to convert members who joined due to opportunism into faithful members fully dedicated to the Cabal's cause.</p>

<p>Shar, their enigmatic and mysterious guide, possess an entirely different set of goals than those the Cabal have. She has grown tired of the others deities' ploy - who sought to isolate the world from the realms beyond, leaving all of the deities unable to interfere with the world. Luckily for her, the seal is imperfect, and slowly deteriorating, with more and more cracks slowly appearing. Shar seeks to undo the seal those deities placed upon the world, in a way that is favorable to he, by making sure the biggest cracks that appear when the seal shatters are linked to where Shar herself is strong - the Shadowfell. With this, she aims to have an upper necessary to make the world fall to entropy - to crumble and succumb, leaving only disorder, darakness, and loss, where all are ultimately forced under her sway.</p>

<p>While individual members strive for personal advancement within the social hierarchy, the Cabal leverages promises of specific positions in their envisioned future to entice potential recruits. Those who join the cause are seen as vital for expanding the Cabal's reach and influence. Consequently, the organization perpetually engages in schemes to persuade individuals to become faithful members or to coerce and force others into serving their interests.</p>
|
||||
<p>In contrast to the Cabal's aspirations, Shar, their enigmatic guide, harbors distinct goals. Discontented with the deities' ploy to isolate the world from the realms beyond, she seeks to dismantle the seal that restrains them. Shar aims to ensure that the seal's eventual shattering aligns with her own strength in the Shadowfell, allowing her to exert dominion over the ensuing chaos and darkness, precipitating the world's descent into entropy.</p>
