As you take a few more minutes to observe the area you notice that great sections of the rocky landscape are given over to gardens and orchards. Mule teams haul logs and deadfall from the nearby woods. Sheep and cattle are herded into rough stone corrals as dusk falls. At different sites, construction is evident, new living spaces being reclaimed from the ruins. Fires begin to spring up. The smells of roast meat and woodsmoke drift toward you on the breeze. There easily looks to be around five hundred of these cultists, including women and children, in the area. They all are wearing dark black robes that the other cultists you've encountered were wearing.
You also see a group of a half-dozen men moving out of the camp, weapons are carried and it seems that these men are likely patrolling the area.
