==History==

Although the Cult first formalized as a religious organization at a time when [[the One]] was a [[tyrant]], the cult's [[founder]]s would initially come to hate him over a tragic misunderstanding. On some [[outlander world]] a long, long time ago, the One had sought to alleviate his loneliness by sharing his immortality with his dying friend [[Lytos]]. The One infused Lytos with a part of his immortality, but the effort was for not. Instead of truth life and vigor, Lytos became a tortured and rotting husk of his former self, begging for release from his unnatural existence. Lytos was only put to rest through complete consumption by [[fire]]<ref name="DT&DL p. 40">DT&DL p. 40</ref>.

The heirs of Lytos began an eternal hunt for the One, now labeled a horrific [[murderer]] and [[necromancer]]. Although he attempted to outlive them, Lytos' kin kept up pursuit over the generations. Eventually the One tired of evading his pursuers and decided to eschew friendship for wealth and power. Thus, he became a [[warlord]] then a conquering monarch.
