[QUOTE="Someone, post: 2929300, member: 5656"] I´ll upgrade this to a full fledged proposal is you like the idea: The cult of Arrhim is a spreading philosophy exalting personal power and dominion over the weak. Arrhim is not a god, but the starter of the cult: he rules over a fortress located somewhere deep the mountains of ?????*. He´s grown to legendary status, an wild rumours run about him: some say he´s a devil of the higher echelons, maybe even a pit fiend. If he´s actively seeking divine ascension –if that´s possible- is also unknown. The cult basic premise is simple: the strong must rule over the weak. “Strenght” is not limited to personal martial or magical power: solid alliances, organizational skills, wealth or a silver tongue are valued too. The cultists are convinced that might make right: those who have the power aren´t, by definition, bound by anything else; systems that rely on artificial limits on what the ruler can do are doomed to be destroyed from within, sooner or later. According to the cult´s dogma, power over another sentient being is demonstrated making him suffer; weaker rulers are constantly forced to appease those under him. Therefore, cruelty and slavery are the natural, most stable states of society, and every ruler must strengthen his grip over those under him to reach that desirable status. Arrhim´s cult isn´t really very popular, but works with detailed, reasoned and apparently compelling descriptions of it´s dogma are are spreading and serve as justification for unscrupulous slavers and warlords. A greater concern for the good people in ENWorld are those who, wielding actual divine powers derived from the cult´s philosophy, offer their help to those same cruel individuals. Almost always the “helped” ends his career under the cleric´s cuel boots, but that´s of little consolation for those that must serve the cult´s follower. *I´m open to suggestion about where exactly would this be.
