Location: Godmere > Cynders Adjacent Buildings: Assassin Brotherhood, The Devil and the Sinner
Description
Hidden beneath the streets of Cynders lies a secret that even the district’s criminal element knows nothing about - a Cultist Hideout where followers of dark powers conduct their forbidden rituals. The entrance is cunningly concealed, accessible only to those who know the exact location and proper methods of entry.
Below ground, chambers have been carved from the bedrock or repurposed from ancient cellars and forgotten passages. The walls bear disturbing symbols painted in various substances, some of which glow with unholy light. Altars dedicated to dark entities occupy central positions in the main chambers, stained with evidence of rituals best left unexamined.
The cultists who gather here pursue agendas that would horrify the city above. Whether they serve demons, dark gods, or pursue forbidden magical practices, their activities threaten the safety and sanity of Godmere’s citizens. They operate in absolute secrecy, knowing that discovery would mean death or worse.
