Corruption Cultists

Deity Worshipped:
Zaroth, God of chaos and corruption.

Overview:
The Corruption Cultists are a fanatical group dedicated to reviving Zaroth, the god of corruption. They seek to spread his influence across Valora, hoping to bring about the return of the Shadowed Age by unleashing chaos and disorder wherever they go.

Leadership:
The High Corruptors lead the cult, each wielding the dark power of Zaroth to spread chaos and undermine the order of Valora.

Beliefs:
The Corruption Cultists believe that chaos is the natural state of the world and that order is a false construct imposed by the weak. They seek to tear down the established kingdoms and replace them with the rule of Zaroth.

Practices:
They perform Rituals of Corruption, where they taint the land and people, turning once-prosperous areas into wastelands. They also attempt to summon Zaroth’s spirit back into the physical world through dark magic.

Hostile Behavior:
The Corruption Cultists use chaos magic to warp reality, unleashing unpredictable effects that destabilize their enemies. They also spread corruption through the land, poisoning the ground and turning the environment into a twisted version of itself.

Common Locations:
They are most often found in hidden temples and ruined fortresses, deep in forgotten places of Valora, where they prepare for the return of Zaroth.

Appearance:
The Corruption Cultists wear dark robes and masks marked with symbols of chaos. Their bodies often bear the signs of corruption, with twisted limbs or disfigured features caused by prolonged exposure to dark magic.

Equipment:
They wield chaos-infused weapons like corrupted swords and staves. They also carry Tomes of Corruption, which allow them to cast powerful spells that destabilize their surroundings.

Weaknesses:
Corruption Cultists are vulnerable to strong order-based magic and purification rituals, which can cleanse the land of their taint and undo their chaos-based spells.
