The Divanists

Divanism is a cult founded by Menagerie Dul-Sansiska, based on the premise that Divankul Dul-Sansiska is the God of Magic, and that the Divankul that remains on Terros is a False Shell. The False Shell is meant to hold back all magic, keeping shut the Void, and ensuring Queen Talia's wish to destroy the Cycle would live on forever. They also proclaim that since The Void is the font of all magic, it is where The Godmind resides, and once the Cycle begins again, it will come to enact peace once more onto a war ravaged Terros. The False Shell is destined to fall, and afterwards a new peace will settle unto the world. 
The cult was officially founded in 1070AE when Menagerie fled from her household after supposedly attempting infanticide on Divana Dul-Sansiska, her only daughter she had sired between herself and Edmund Blackthorne, the Dark Prince.
The misunderstood ideal of magical domination has been a rallying cry for brutal and totalitarian thinkers, racists and psychopaths to flock towards the call, and several notably horrid minor nobles taking all of their riches and booking it for the cult. All racing to be first in order to get in on the ground floor on the possibility of upending the world order in their favor. Overall most that go are not the downtrodden or the out for place, but the well to do, the radicals, and the insane. Most probably don't have enough magical talent to move a pencil, however the twisting of Menagerie's true message makes them believe that they will be supplied with great magical power in the end by the Godmind.
The Korak Springs Incident: In 1080AE a group of ten armed acolytes, led by Menagerie, and a twenty-man-strong mercenary detachment funded by House Lero attempted to abduct Divana Dul-Sansiska, Reyani Dul-Sansiska, and Ashyln Dul-Sansiska. Fortunately enough, Ser Reynis Dul-Sansiska and Sir Garin Dul-Sansiska were the ones to meet them. Between these two veterans, and a handful of Spider Fang sharpshooters, the under prepared abductors were massacred, with Menagerie herself suffering a mortal wound to her stomach inflicted by Garin.
A survivor would be captured, and when interrogated only stated that the False Shell wouldn't be around forever to hold back the world, that they would be the powerful ones, and that Divana would be the key. Before he could divulge more, a time sensitive spell forced the suspect into cardiac arrest. Divanism has missionaries who are for the most part highly unwelcome in the communities they visit, trying to persuade people that if they trust in them, great boons of paradise awaits when the Godmind arises, they are banned from Bastion but still keep finding ways back in.
Divanists are suspected in disappearances throughout Terros, stealing men, women, children, elderly from villages where they're never seen again. They're supposedly allied with Houses Lero, Devori, and Xevis of the Drowlords as well. They have been confirmed to purchase citizens from the Vas Comorah's trafficking ring, deal with The Brokerage, and buy criminals up in strange contracts for those criminals or never be seen again.
Most of the Drowlords dismiss Menagerie as having gone full nutters, everyone outside of Ornia Dul-Sansiska and Al-Zehin who both contend that she's not insane, just misguided and too young to know truly how much pain she's causing. This has caused Garin to go on a one man hunting spreed for a solid decade attempting to find and kill Menagerie, thinking that she's too much of a danger to just let be loose.
