The Slaving Lords

The Slaving Lords, or Cult of the Slave, believe that by gaining adherents they will increase the cult's control over the deity [spirit] himself. Their magickal power is a product of their control and manipulation of the deity.

The Slaving Cult was founded during the early days of the Eschlatli Empire, when tensions were still high between Maetah and Chlendi ethnic groups. The cult began as an offshoot of the Thedine faith who sought to understand the Chlendi cosmology. They joined the ethnic struggle of their brethren against conversion, but quickly lost ground as the Chlendi pantheon began to dominate. They were primarily sorcerors and mystics, whose devotion kept them in the good graces of the Clan of the Black Earth. Once their attention turned towards a target, they found their incantations could counter and control divine forces.

While the cult is generally feared and distrusted, the are primarily known in the south for inciting labor riots and disrupting the slave trade. In the north, they have long fought a guerilla struggle against the Argaevaligne government.
