In the dark and treacherous waters off the coast of the vampire-ruled land of Noctis lies a sinister presence – the Kraken Cult. Led by a coven of three malevolent sea hags, this cult worships a monstrous kraken known as Great One Eye, wielding its power to wreak havoc upon ships and coastal settlements alike. At the heart of their operations, the sea hags command legions of Merrows, fierce aquatic warriors, as their elite troops, while the lowly Kuo-toa serve as the bottom rung of their dark hierarchy.
Operating in the bleakest corners of the world, the Kraken Cult strikes fear into the hearts of sailors and coastal dwellers, launching frequent raids to satisfy their insatiable thirst for chaos and destruction. With Great One Eye looming as their terrifying patron, the cult's influence spreads like the tendrils of the abyss, casting a shadow over the already ominous seas of Noctis. As they continue to expand their dominion, adventurers brave enough to confront the Kraken Cult must navigate through treacherous waters, facing the wrath of both its monstrous deity and its devoted followers.
Motivation:
The cult actively seeks sacrifices to offer to Great One Eye, believing that blood offerings increase their favor with the kraken.
They are also driven by a thirst for forbidden knowledge and exploration, delving into the darkest depths of the sea in search of secrets and forbidden lore.
