Cultists

A group of necromancers whose goal it was to release the Dark Lord from the citadel in Mos Einsam. While acting as a collective at many times, the individuals that constitute this group do not form a single orgonization. Two major sects of cultists have made themselves known at this time: the true worshipers of Dark Lord, and the followers of Orcus, Prince of Demons. A thrid faction, worshiping Vecna, is suspected to exsist; though no evidence has been found of their involvement, it is not surprising to proponents of this theory, given the secretive nature of the religion.

The cultists are the ones who hatched the plan to extract the Dark Lord from the Heart of Darkness.
