Death-Obsessed Cultists
A group of 25 cultists from a plague-wracked Tveland hovel, encamped about half an hour's walk from the Death Ziggurat depression in Sarkash. They have felt the deathly vibrations in the forest and are searching for the source, in a vain hope that it can provide the keys to the golden afterlife — the Shimmering Fields.
They wear strange headdresses signaling rank, have tattooed faces, and wear thick furs dangling with skeletal parts. They speak slowly with an unusual, almost inhuman dialect. They have found the rotting mouth in the woods but not dared to enter. They are not aware of Akünh or her Rot Priests.
The highest-rank cultists wield a Power called Deathlike Silence — all within earshot must test Presence DR14 or be deafened for d10 minutes, all hearing/balance tests +4 DR while affected.

Their plague-wracked Tveland hovel is unnamed. The "almost inhuman dialect" is unspecified. The cult's leader and internal hierarchy beyond "high rank" are blank. Whether they share theology with the Two-Headed Basilisks' Shimmering-Fields doctrine, or follow a parallel heresy, is open.
