Tazandam the sexless and formless god of plots, gambits, treachery, politics, trust, and hope .

His cult is made up of politicians, tricksters, and generally anyone who is trying to increase their status and power via plots, complicated or otherwise. All cultists wear mask and heavy robes so as to not reveal their identities. Tazandam grants boons or powers to those who greatly wish to be powerful or just involves him or her self in great of plots of intrigue or gambits of elegant complexity. The worship of Tazandam is both secret and known. Most people only know Tazandam as a god of trust and hope. Only the cultist know that his true aspect is that of treachery and plots. All are welcome to join the cult, but most do not last long as the cult itself is known for killing its own members for incopetence or because it would be good for a cultist's plot or gambit.

I hope that serious enough. I can't really explain it that well right now.


EDIT: SO MANY NINJA

"While my lords are discussing to whom we shall dedicate the faithful, I will prepare a listing of personnel and supplies."

The adviser shuffles off and returns after a few moments to provide a handwritten report.

EDIT: SO MANY NINJA

Seconding this, also seconding the cult's need for many ninja. Ninja's? Ninjii? Ninjae?

Ninjae

And of course the cult will need a large number of ninjae, how else will we further our duplicitous schemes?

[forsaken1111]

(Executive decision make!)

"Ahh, Tazandam the Treacherous! An excellent choice lords, though the literature may cause some cultists confusion on the point of which pronouns to use as the god is traditionally sexless and neuter. I suggest we identify the deity as female for the benefit of the less intellectually inclined among the faithful. The scribes are preparing a situation report for you now lords, I will return soon."

The adviser begins to leave but pauses before walking out, "Oh... and I shall pass on your request for 'more ninjae'."

[forsaken1111]

The adviser returns, gliding over the marble floor. He bows and lays a few more papers upon the large table.

"My lords, we are currently hidden in the quaint community of Bree. Our supplies are divided and hidden amongst the homes of the cultists. We control the library through the archivist but have no other influence among the shops and businesses. The community is quite ordinary, and the Cult is not yet established here. We could choose to move elsewhere if you wish. Your chambers and ruling hall are directly beneath the town square, under the fountain. The details are on the paper there lords. I will remain should you have any questions. If you require more information about any of the locations here, you have but to ask. Please let me know how you wish to proceed. I have made arrangements to have at least one cultist present at the Inn at all times. It acts as a waystation for travelers of all sorts and should prove a good source of information."

Bree is the largest settlement within Bree-land, and is mostly populated by humans. It serves as a hub of trade and travel for Bree-land. It is a very ancient settlement, and is where our Cult was founded. We found ancient writings within a deep catacomb beneath Bree which detailed the worship of Tazandam the Trecherous and began forming the cult in order to explore these teachings. The catacombs are extensive, and we have not fully explored them.

So far we have recruited 10 cultists as well as the archivist and his scribes. Thus far we are undetected within Bree.

Locations of interest within Bree:

Bank - No Cult Presence
Library - Cult Controlled
Stable - No Cult Presence
Metal Smithy - No Cult Presence
Hall of Arts - No Cult Presence
Hall of Crafts - No Cult Presence
Tinkery - No Cult Presence
Town Hall - No Cult Presence
Prancing Pony Inn - Minor Cult Presence

[Firelordsky]

 I say we must take control of the Prancing Pony Inn so we can get Hobbits and Dwarves to join us.

[forsaken1111]

"Of course Sir, I shall send several more cultists to the Inn and I will begin looking into the owner's affairs."

The adviser writes out a quick note and steps out for a moment before returning.

"Do you have any other orders my Lords?"

[Firelordsky]

"How about we try and plant a cultist into the militia?"

[micelus]

Plant some cultist in the government. Bree shall be ours with the right schemes and ploys.


Also I agree with planting a cultist in the local militia. Where else shall our !!NINJA!! learn the ways of combat?

Politics Ho!

[Dwarmin]

Dwarmin strokes his beard "Lets send our members out yonder to find some meeting place away from prying eyes.

Maybe the nearby Barrow Downs? No one goes there without a very good reason. As long as we take precautions, we should be safe from the Wights..."

He produces a handy map. "In case any one of you is unfamilar with this land."

[micelus]

Where'd you get the map? Make it yourself?

[Dwarmin]

HaH

I wish I could actually draw. No, plugged it off the internet. Looks like its from the LOTR MMO.

[micelus]

Eh. I doubt anyone on this subforum can draw any good. I have to use hexographer to get anything impressive
