The Cult of the Bloody Tongue is a shadowy and malevolent organization dedicated to the service of Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos. This cult has established its stronghold at the Mountain of the Black Wind, supposedly a foreboding peak in the northern part of the Island of Moog. The Mountain of the Black Wind is a place of dark power, where the cultists gather to perform their most important rituals, invoking the terrible might of their eldritch master. The mountain itself is shrouded in mystery, with whispers of ancient evils and unspeakable horrors lurking within its depths.
The primary focus of the Cult of the Bloody Tongue is the cultivation and harvesting of the Black Lotus, a rare and dangerous flower that serves as the key ingredient in the production of Black Milk, the potent narcotic that has decimated the city-state of Al-Strahal. The cultists have taken to clear-cutting the dense jungle of Moog, transforming the once-thriving wilderness into vast, uniform fields of Black Lotus crops. This destructive practice not only ravages the natural landscape but also enhances the cult’s ability to produce the flowers on an industrial scale, ensuring a steady supply of Black Milk to feed the insatiable demand of Al-Strahal's elites.
Although the Cult of the Bloody Tongue operates far from Seregon, their influence is increasingly felt within the city. The rare goods that flood Seregon’s marketplaces, imported from Al-Strahal, often carry the taint of the cult's sinister activities. These items—whether they be antiquities stripped from the decadent elven city or rare luxuries infused with the dark essence of Black Lotus—serve as a constant reminder of the cult's far-reaching presence. The influx of such goods has led to a subtle yet pervasive spread of The Veiled Ones influence within Seregon, as those who indulge in these luxuries unwittingly draw closer to the dark god's grasp.
The cult’s activities are a growing concern for Seregon's authorities and citizens alike. The clear-cutting of Moog’s jungles threatens to upset the delicate balance of the island’s ecosystem, while the spread of goods tainted by the cult’s dark magic has begun to corrupt the city’s social and economic fabric. As the cult’s power grows, so too does the fear that their malign influence will continue to spread, bringing with it the chaos and destruction that The Veiled One embodies.
