 <p>Driven by unwavering devotion to their enigmatic guide and fueled by a profound belief in their cause, the Castigian Cabal is determined to <strong>dismantle the prevailing power structures—both in society and in the world's workings—</strong>that they perceive as corrupt and unfair. Their <strong>ultimate aim is to replace these structures with a society they deem fair and just—a society where those who uphold it does not limit, deny advancements, or hinder an individual's pursuit of personal aspirations</strong>.&nbsp;</p>
 <p>The Cabal aims to accomplish this <strong>by first seizing control of a wide array of resources and influential positions</strong>. <strong>Simultaneously,</strong> they strategically work towards <strong>degrading the integrity of institutions they do not intend to control, as well as undermining the endeavors and wealth of influential individuals who are not part of their ranks</strong>. They aim to<strong> orchestrate the collapse of institutions and powerful entities outside their control</strong>, and as the unfolding chaos ensues, the Cabal intends to <strong>position themselves with an extensive network of resources and influential positions, ensuring their members collectively dominate what remains and what will come after</strong>. With this consolidation of power, they will embark on a comprehensive reconstruction, molding the world according to their envisioned future, where they hold positions of unrivaled authority.</p>
 <p>The Cabal is acutely aware that they stand little chance in reaching their goals should all the other influential factions in Marcandria decide to unite against them. <strong>Maintaining secrecy is a goal in itself for the Cabal. </strong>They go to great lengths to ensure their plans and schemes remain unknown, and that the existence of their organization remains unnoticed. While their actions may elicit reactions within Marcandrian society, they meticulously avoid leaving evidence that could point back their members, or evidence that could indicate the action to have been part of a larger scheme. The Cabal <strong>strives to keep their adversaries divided and in conflict with one another</strong>. The Cabal is always seeking to expand its membership base, and are therefore always on the lookout for people who could prove useful to the Cabal, and with something the Cabal can use to subtly indoctrinate them into their ranks. Likewise, they constantly aim to find new secrets they can exploit to coerce people into serving their cause.</p>

+<p>Most of the Cabal's schemes revolve around either elevating their members' positions or diminishing their adversaries'. These schemes encompass increasing members' influence and available resources, securing higher positions within other factions where they also hold membership, or bringing adversaries to ruin to open up coveted positions that a member of the Cabal may fill. <strong>These endeavors collectively aim to enhance the Cabal's relative influence and resources, ultimately contributing to the fulfillment of their overarching goal—bringing about their envisioned future. Individual members also harbor personal aspirations, primarily centered on securing the highest possible positions in the Cabal's envisioned future</strong>. The Cabal, and its members, thus tend to display highly opportunistic tendencies.</p>
+<p>The Cabal's enigmatic guide, the Nightsinger, has her own aspirations, for which the Cabal is but a tool. Discontented with the other deities' ploy to seal off the world from the realms beyond, thus rendering beings from those places, including the deities themselves, unable to directly influence the world,<strong> the Nightsinger seeks to exploit the seal's imperfect and deteriorating nature. Her aim is to create a significant breach in a location closely aligned to a place where she holds great strength—the Shadowfell—with one such place being conveniently located in the ruins of the old Concalian capitol of Sion, just south of Marcandria's borders</strong>. Through this breach, <strong>the Nightsinger intends to make herself the dominating influence in the world, causing it to fall into entropy—to crumble and succumb, leaving only disorder, darkness, and loss, where all are ultimately forced under her sway</strong>.</p>

 <p>The Cabal seeks to control those who cannot be swayed through covertly instigating infighting or conflicts between them and 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 how each of them are organized and how deep the Cabal is able to infiltrate their existing ranks. A tailored strategy for each of the other major factions is thus required in order for the Cabal to achieve their aims for each of these factions.</p>
