Khundar'aashta is one of the three triumvirs of House Tharashk, and represents the interests of the clan to the house in Zarash'ak. The Aashta clan contains cultists of the daelkyr Kyrzin, the Prince of Slime. The Aashta and lesser clans in service to them are rumored to be bound to the Dragon Below. The Aashta clan is one of three half-orc clans native to the Shadow Marches to have developed the Mark of Finding and forming House Tharashk. There are no fewer than three sects of the Cults of the Dragon Below active in Sharn. Ĭults may worship aberrations, daelkyr, or other fiends of Khyber and their masters from the First Age. Many followers of the Dragon Below are insane, holding strange beliefs as aberrations being beautiful creatures that will reward them for their devotion. The large majority of these cultists are mad and dangerous, and they turn towards forces society shuns for personal power. Cults Ĭults of the Dragon Below are not a unified religious doctrine. These regions suffered most during the Daelkyr War, and bear the greatest scars from that ancient conflict, both physical and psychological. Worship of the Cults of the Dragon Below are strongest in the western regions of Khorvaire, especially the Shadow Marches. There have always been those who choose to worship Khyber, the Dragon Below, in order to gain power or in hopes of some dark promise being fulfilled. The cults have existed since the beginning of time in one form or another. 2.3 The Cults of Slime (Gibbering Cults).This book is printed on acid-free paper and produced in a sustainable manner.
