The '''Cult of the Black Flame''' is an obscure sect of fire worshippers who seek the freedom and apotheosis of an unnamed ancient evil elemental being or beings thought long driven from the [[Oerth]] (see [[Elder Elemental God]] for a list of such beings). They revere the ''[[Crystal of the Ebon Flame]]'' as a holy relic of their faith.

Once the cult was powerful and influential, but they were so vile that their practices led to popular outrage and the persecution of their followers. The devout few that remain practice their faith in secrecy. Knowledge of the cult has been transformed into myth and legend in the popular imagination, and the truth of this cult remains blurred.  
It is clear that the Cult of the Black Flame once, about a hundred years ago, thrived in the Hool Marshes under the leadership of their high priest [[Ohjos]] before being driven to a country in the far south where they remain today.

Template:Greyhawk Organization The Cult of the Black Flame is an obscure sect of fire worshippers who seek the freedom and apotheosis of an unnamed ancient evil elemental being or beings thought long driven from the Oerth (see Elder Elemental God for a list of such beings). They possibly revere the Crystal of the Ebon Flame as a holy relic of their faith.

The Cult of the Black Flame are chiefly known for their use of a magical ebon fire that burns cold and drains the lifeforce from its victims, leaving them empty husks unmarked by any visible signs of their deaths. Primarily chaotic evil in alignment, they summoned guardian daemons, demons, and beings from the Paraelemental Plane of Ooze called vitrioli.

History

It is clear that the Cult of the Black Flame once, about a hundred years ago, thrived in the Hool Marshes under the leadership of their high priest Ohjos before being driven to a country in the far south where they remain today.

Relationships

The efforts of the cult are seen as dangerous and perverse by the Silent Ones, who have become their foes.
