Legend 2014 - Cults of Sheoloth: the Killer (DONE)

[The Wolf]

I'm outlining the relationship between the people and the Killer's cult at the moment, offering some advice on how to integrate the cult into a city or campaign with a couple of facets. Such as a support mechanism, or as an aloof group of highly trained warriors.

 

[The Wolf]

The book's coming together now, after adding even more content. I'm writing the Killer's interactions with the surface world, and then I'll be just statting NPCs

 

[The Wolf]

Here's the defacto leader of the Killer's cult.

Jezdivyn Urklaar (Dark elf, Decadent, Noble Warrior)

This dark elven warrior is lethal in combat, eschews magic of any kind and prefers the strength of his weapons and skill to the chanting cant of priests and ritual. He fights ferociously and gives no quarter, never backing down from a challenge.

Daily update!

So, we're getting there. This time I've decided to give GMs options in regards to how they want to use the Killer's Cult and the Tavari Assassin Order.

So to that end I've actually created a 2nd cult entry as an option, so you can use either the Killer's Cult for the Assassins or you can use the Tavari Order cult.

Also, just doing the Theatre Diabolic NPCs.

Options options options!

 

[The Wolf]

All Major NPCs are done, only the Minor NPCs left and the BOOK is done!

And we're entering the home stretch here:

Runners

The flow of information and objects through the city is carried out by runners, these talented individuals can move around Sheoloth either on the ground, or by the rooftops using their agility and skill. They are also taught to handle the Shalwri since many dark elf houses like to target the runners and steal their information or cargo. The Killer’s cult uses runners a lot, training them to higher standards of ability.
