Harbingers of Ixthul

The Harbingers of Ixthul, formerly known by another name lost to time, was a paladin order turned cult in south Faerûn some centuries prior to the 15 century DR.
==Activities==
This order of holy warriors considered it their duty to fight against evil deities and their followers.
==Base of Operations==

==Possessions==

==Relationships==
One of the primary enemies of this group were the Church of Bane.
==History==
The Harbingers of Ixthul originally began as a paladin order of Moradin, led by a powerful paladin by the name of Deymoden. Much of what occured between that time and the order's shift into a cult was lost to time, as few of their writings or records survived, but at some point a major change occured. Deymoden changed their name to Ixthul and began striving to become a deity of demigod or exarch status.
The other paladins, dedicated to Ixthul's cause, followed their lead in creating a divine artifact of war for the purpose of destroying a great evil. To avoid any act of treachery, the order stored this weapon within a specially prepared chamber, guarded by an eidolon that Ixthul had originally created in service to Moradin. Before the Harbingers of Ixthul had a chance to use their divine artifact of war, they were struck by internal betrayal and quickly fell apart.
