Doomsday Cult

Defining a Doomsday Cult is both tedious and often unnecessary, they are groups of people who are convinced that the end of the world is nigh. Some groups might not believe the absolute end is near, only that some great cataclysm that will bring about global/cosmic renewal or reciprocation is close at hand.
Of all Adepts, the Order of Oblivion is the one most closely associated with these fringe elements of religion. Nihilists are both produced by Doomsday Cults and are often the progenitors of them as well. More than one Doomsday Prophet down through history has been a champion from within the ranks of the Void Order.
Doomsday Cults tend to be seductive, disruptive, and dangerous. People who think the world is coming to an end are more likely to eschew law and order and turn to extremist religious practices. Or just break the law outright. These kinds of people will also be more open to the religious leadership of Doomsday Cults who will often promote themselves as harbingers of final salvation and knowledge of God's plan for the End Times.
Also remember that people who believe the world is soon to end aren't as likely to fear death. Doomsday Cults are famous for the violent last-stands they've had with authorities and law-enforcement.
The Order of Priests has also had a hand in a few Millenarist groups. Of course, because Doomsday Cults usurp traditional religious leadership, the Priestly Order is just as likely to oppose them as they are to accept or participate in them.
One great example of these extremist groups are the Knights of the Apocalypse.
