In the wild peripheries of the Tribelands, renegade mahirim tribes worship a wild and malevolent deity. The Moon-Beast is an ancient god of the hunt and lunar-induced bloodlust. His worshippers practice blood sacrifice and will hunt down all sentient beings who trespass on their territories.
The cultists seek a return to the ancient ways, when the mahirim were fierce predators who followed migrating herds of prey across untainted plains. They use weapons, armour and equipment which were common several centuries ago, before the civilizing influence of Red Moon took hold among the mahirim.
The recent surge in Cult activity has been ascribed to the influence of a leader called Ionna the Tall, who has established a hidden Cult headquarter called Silverclaw somewhere near the Mirendil border.
