Followers of Agonizel is a recently formed branch of the cult Coven of Tears. It was formed with the blessing of Agonizel Silvermask giving Aluthari Barbsong her blessing to lead a new base for the cult. Aluthari has proven herself as a loyal and capable leader after helping to form the cult in its beginnings, the mission in Gnarlwood and campaign for the crown of the Fire King.
History:
In the beginnings Followers of Agonizel were but a small group of cultists in the cults campaign to establish herself. While the campaign was successful the number of remaining cultists was minimal leaving only few of the most capable. The now predominantly Daemon cult was starting to question its need for these mortals but Agonizel wanted to let them prove themselves. Rumours spoke of great treasure found in the not so far forest of Gnarlwood and that was their chance to prove themselves: get me any magic items from this treasure to power up our Despair claiming process and you will be well rewarded.
Gnarlwood expedition:
-While the remaining cultists were only the best Gnarlwood was a great test in and of itself. Not only were the conditions hard many warbands have set off to claim said treasure with each encounter culling their numbers. Having nothing to show during their expedition except for falling numbers they temporarily cut communications with Agonizel hoping to not cause any anger by reporting only with promised loot.
-They found the promised treasure only to learn it was protected by a mighty dragon. They would have most likely been killed if the other warbands rushed in first giving them time to grab some magic items and make a run for it. In the end only three remained... Aluthari Barbsong, Sinal Blacktorn and Libidash Blacktorn. Returning with powerful magical items Agonizel chose to ignore their sudden week long silence in communication. The three were rewarded and given the position of leaders in the now forming mortal regiments.
Campaign for the crown of the Fire king:
-The campaign for the crown was the first time the Followers were at a conflict in higher numbers. Half of Agonizels forces were of mortals a big jump up from the small group of cultists last time. Though most battles didn't end in victory Followers held their ground more than once and when needed the most pulled their weight in the last fight earning Agonizel the magic from the crown.
Agonizel´s Blessing:
-Over the ten years the cult has been alive Followers of Agonizel only grew in strength. Agonizel knew she needed to expand but she couldnt be at two places at once. She thought long and hard about it before decidid that Aluthari Barbsong was a good enough magician and deserved a reward for ten years of hard work. She was to lead this new settlement and start another despair gathering operation with the only person she would need to respond to was Agonizel. Aluthari gladly accepted taking Sinal Blacktornand Libidash Blacktorn as her right and left hand men. She was sent to Ravaged coast quickly getting to work building Chasm of Despair. Now all she needed was to find people to do Agonizels dark ritual on...
