Corvus Cabal
The Corvus Cabal are assassins, thieves, cut-throats and shadow stalkers whose home is on top of the mesas of the Carrion Reach in the Realm of Ulgu.[1]
Contents
Beliefs
They worship an aspect of Chaos known as the Great Gatherer who they depict as a vast prey-bird, its feathers black and perched atop a mound of stolen treasure. Archaon is seen as an avatar of the Gatherer and he will be sated with his endless wars. To gain his favour, their best killers are sent into the Bloodwind Spoil raising shrines made of their victims with offerings of looted wargear. [1a]
If on a hunt, a warrior of the Cabal must return with a suitable offering to the god or be thrown from heights of the Reach. [1a]
Communication
They have their own language of sharp cries and complex hand gestures. [1c]
History
They hire themselves out to Chaos Lords, with their only reward being that which they can claim from the bodies of the slain. [1c]
Locations
- Shrouded Eyrie: Hidden mountaintop stronghold of the Cabal. [1c]
Notable
