Followers of the Old Ways

The Followers of the Old Ways (Kel Laginas) are a prominent cult of Aquilan mages and their allies. Since some time before the infamous Third Convocation of the Knights Rhea in 4518, the organization has operated in scattered and loosely connected cells across Aquila, with most of their activities involving the preservation of ancient arcane knowledge, the protection of Attuned individuals, and attempting to bring about the return of the Old Ways. The coven's founders were supposedly the descendants of the extinct Varus ithaxus, an older cult which was violently snuffed out by the Inquisitorius. 
The coven's influence over Aquilan society has greatly diminished of late, largely thanks to their failed intercession in the Kazimiri invasion of Alamut, and more recently the founding of the violent alliance of mage-hunters who call themselves the Sin-eaters. At present, most of their numbers are concentrated in the deep Aphelian interior far from hostile governments, allowing the more organized and militant Acolytes of the Beyond to establish insurgent cells of their own in urban centers such as Dreiton, Akhtamar, Ashevale, and Daguo, where the Followers were once supreme. 
Dantalion is the central figure of worship for the coven, owing to his veneration among the archons as the Keeper of Precepts responsible for sharing occult knowledge with mankind.
