Hi Everyone!

The next live Q&A is this Saturday, June 7th at 10 AM Pacific Time on Discord. Our topic is CULTS. Where does the line blur between what's accepted as a facet of an established faith versus a dangerous force that should be opposed? I'll discuss the broad concept and role of cults in the setting, as well as answering questions about specific cults! The Q&A will be recorded and posted later in the month for patrons who can't attend the live stream.

What do you imagine some of the more "ordinary" and inoffensive rites and traditions of Daelkyr cults to be like?

Great topic — I think this dichotomy between religion & cult is a product of monotheism. In more polytheistic societies every group of worshippers could be considered a cult and it doesn’t have such negative connotation. In a polytheistic society like Eberron it’s almost like we need a better term that is neither “religion/faith” nor “cult,” since I’ve noticed most players can’t get past their associations with either of those words (cults are all bad and the religion of the Silver Flame ends up being just like Inquisition-era Catholicism).

To link the two topics. House Lyrandar has the Storm Front cult within it. It has been suggested that Cults to Sul Khatesh exist in the Arcane Congress. What other institutions do you see containing secret cults.

I have a small question about cults and faiths: we know how worship affect beings such as angels/radiant idols, but does that effect work the same for other beings? How does faith change a Lamannian totem, or a particularly influential fey that isn't an archfey?

Would an Aboleth centered in Mirror Lake be more likely to align with Dyrrn, or have its own agenda?
