Marching From D23; The Green-Eyed Prophecy (Working Draft)

As I populate my dungeon, I think about what impact those denizens would have on the area surrounding the dungeon. Are they encountered outside of the dungeon? Are communities around the dungeon aware of it's inhabitants? In the case of this Grippli cult, They could be encountered for dozens of miles around the temple they have converted into their home.

The cult emerged from among the Upach Gripilli in Qir's Ziggekh Prefecture; Dulöltü Rarch, the cult's founder, sought refuge in an abandoned temple during a storm. A voice called to Rarch from the coral that composed the temple appealed to Dulöltü's frustration and sense of justice. The "civilized" peoples of Memory keep encroaching on the wild places of the world

The Prophecy is a cult that players can ally with or make their mortal enemies. The Gamemastery Guide's optional Reputation system helps to power a living organization for West Marches campaigns. This cult is an extrapolation of a society based on a Grippli Witch.  The Founder of the Green-Eyed Prophesy, Dulöltü Rarch, is a charge of a powerful elemental entity known to the Grippli as Shunöchu Föch.
