Cult of Soahc

The Cult of Soahc is a religious sect which praises that Soahc the Deceiver is the one true god. Going further than simply worshipping the Demigod, practitioners of the Cult of Soahc hold that, as Soahc is the only god known to walk the earth and therefore the only provably real god, there are no gods other than Soahc. These cultists believe that the likes of Tyrrus and Janus were simply made up by humans who were unable to accept the true nature of reality, fables told to one another to justify their rebellion against the only god there is. The Cult of Soahc is generally a mixture of religious fanatics, dejected loners and dabblers within the dark arts wishing to seek sanctuary. Those who are exiled from society or on the run from the law can often find themselves welcome within the Cult of Soahc.

The Cult of Soahc, although a forbidden religious sect within the Free Kingdoms and Tyrannian Empire both, with the penalty of execution a guarantee for any known worshipper of the forefather of demons, has existed for millennia and is made up of many different communities spread around Engelain. They form small communities with clear ranks, though there is no ultimate authority within the cult. Although dedicated to the worship and aid of Soahc, the Demigod of Chaos himself more often than not does not involve himself with the cult, simply leaving them to their own devices as they can conduct his will without his guidance.

Some sections of the Cult of Soahc are supposedly more benign than others, simply formed of the misguided and the faux-intellectual, though others are cutthroats of the most deplorable nature, held together by their passionate disregard for human life and loyal to the cause only so as to justify their own hateful nature. They are xenophobic, they have been known to kidnap children, sacrifice maidens and consort with demons.

Most recently, a certain section of the Cult of Soahc, headed by the cult leader Molloran, was chosen by Soahc to accompany the father of evil on a campaign of destruction. In the Onslaught of Oakfoot, Molloran was killed, and so was later replaced by a Grand Priest of Soahc from the Church of the Unified God, who happily defected to the cause.
