CONQUEST CHARTER


A tribe of Morlocks found their way into the mostly abandoned Undercitadel of Szitrag. The Spirit of Sythevex terrorized the lost tribe until they pledged loyalty to her. Dretha empowered their chieftain with a cursed familiar in exchange for their fealty. This Familiar became the fetish of a tribal cult that worships at an altar built in the image of the Fanged Queen.


The Fanged Queen 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 Morlock Witch.  The Founder of the Cult of the Fanged Queen, Daarkh Ghust, is a charge of a powerful spiritual entity known to the Morlocks as Goebikeintrem. 

Cult Goebikeintrem. is a Curse Patron fueled by her anger and unforgiving nature.

Reputation is built by accumulating Favor or Disfavor with organizations. Religious organizations tend to wear a measure of their desires on their leaves. The edicts of a religious group strongly imply what kind of actions would be considered favors by the order, while Anathema's Identify behavior will draw the order's ire.

Edicts create undead (particularly incorporeal undead), feast upon carnivores that have recently feasted upon others.

These are benefits reserved for Bards, Clerics, Champions, and Witches that have joined the order.
