Cult of the Black Flame
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 revere the Crystal of the Ebon Flame as a holy relic of their faith.
History
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.
Relationships
The efforts of the cult are seen as dangerous and perverse by the Silent Ones, who have become their foes.
