Cult Boons

== Devils, Demons, Celestials, Oh no! ==
Those who follow cults, (ie: cultists,) receive many bonuses (ie: boons) for doing so.
These boons can be as simple as a casting of a cantrip or as complicated as a three-person ritual that turns each of the casters into a singular monster.
== Cults and Boons ==
=== Zenituul Cults ===
==== Cult of Zenituul ====
Goals: World domination. Power from the shadows. Assassination of high priority targets to cause mass hysteria. Pollution of the material plane with Eternal Void taint.
Typical Cultist: Assassin, cult fanatic, cultist, mage, noble, spy, commoner, priest, bandit, and easily brainwashed individuals.
Zenituul cults focus on hiding in the shadows and taking out targets that would continue to spread bloodshed and horror. Zenituul favors those who follow orders without question and those who commit the worst atrocities, all the while never being noticed on a mission. All devotees receive the boon of Grasp of the Void. Those who are most devoted to Zenituul receive the boon of Tentacle Warp. Leaders of cults receive the boon Call of Zenituul.
