The Crimson Scourge are a very small group of phellysians also known as Rexilar's Children and the Searchers. They dwell in the ruins of Rexilar’s castle, which predate the Sundering, and they maintain little contact with outside world. Talis is unaware of the nature of their god and of the existence of this group. Since phellysians view visiting the ruins as a cultural taboo, privacy is not a problem for the Crimson Scourge.
This group was formed when a phellysian mage named Einar broke phellysian law by exploring the ruins of Rexilar and made several important discoveries. By piecing together clues in the ruins with the results of divinations, he was able to ascertain the truth. Einar shared his discoveries with some of his closest colleagues. They decided that Fate had gifted them with the clues to the greatest adventure imaginable – the resurrection of their god. Since then the group has slowly gathered additional members and they have worked long and hard to create a secret underground lair in the ruins of Rexilar's fortress castle.
The ultimate goal of this small group is the resurrection of the phellysian god, Rexilar. Actually, Rexilar is a slumbering demi-god/wizard who exists in a forced stasis. First, the Crimson Scourge must find the mythical statuette that houses their god and then perform the ritual to free him.
While this group has no allies or enemies, it maintains a veil of secrecy over itself. The Crimson Scourge believe that if the clans were to hear of their work, they would be hunted down and wiped out. As is, this small group is little more than an obscure myth to the general phellysian population with only the rare sighting of a red cloaked sorcerer to give any evidence to their existence.
Only phellysian mages are invited to join this group. As can be imagined, they are very selective. Phellysian mages are rare enough and only a precious few are asked to join. The group, as a whole, is paranoid about discovery by the nine clans. All members are sworn to absolute secrecy.
Members of this group pool their resources, wealth and knowledge. Each member has access to excellent lab facilities, spell components and magical paraphernalia. The group also is blessed with a secure and secret underground stronghold buried beneath the ruins.
A rather lengthy oath is sworn by new members during a secret ritual held in the hidden stronghold.
Rank is based on seniority and by magical ability.
None.
