Description

A Siggo -type of Draak Harg, the Dragon people-, Mercenary of Seuconia, doubt for a moment, to either bring down the final blow to the last acolyte of the raided temple of the Cult of Abilia, or to make her a slave: a elf have allways a good price in the slave-market.

The region of Abilia, to the east of Dol-Sorne in Central Aels was known as land of cults and heretics: A region first settled by Beast Peoples, during the Age of High Elven Imperialism as the Empire of the Whide Axis extended, many escaping the hegemony of the High Elves seeked refugee in the wild lands of Abilia -including elves with heterodox religious views toward the high elven religion and as well ideology:

There was founded among these diverse groups inter-racial and interspecies communities that didn't distingished the species or race of their members, as they often were grouped together in these millenarist, apocaliptical sects that worshipped the nature gods of the Holy Mountain of Hortann and the Sand Beings, who often clashed against each other and against external influences who tried to impose their views.

In the Age of Invasions, with the initial ecological cataclysms and the collapse of the High Elven realms of Aels, these millenarist cults gained much weight and began to extend their sphere of influence, which brought them to clash with the Draaki Kingdom of Secuonia -a Dragon, Draak Harg and Siggo confederation of cities under the rule of a thalasocracy-. The reasons of persecution and animosity toward the cults weren't only
religious, but as well economical, as the Cult of Abilia had a strong
presence in the sea of Caritz, having a monopoly over the species trade
with the Mercania islands.

These fights, of low intensity but extended in territory -they were fought in a quite extense territory among the shores of Caritz, were there where trade outposts of the Seuconian and Abilian, and as well cults of the Abilian-.

Weakening each other, later they will face as well the expanding humans and Kanov, that will effectively drive out their economic influence in the trade of Caritz.

The Dumian Empire of the Librarians, a human empire which had defined itself as agnostic -and often, anti-religious- will try to supress the Abilian sects, and will fail to do so -and with the later spiritual crisis of the Empire of the Librarians, the cults of Abilia even expanded further-.

The competing religions for the spiritual romance of the once agnostic Empire of the Librarians branded the Cult of Abilia as a sect of demonic worshipers, related to dark arts and black magic, performing banned rituals: And while originally it was propaganda used against the Cults of Abilia, with the Apparition of the Demons, and with the defilying they did of the once holy mountain of Hortann -now the Unholy Mountian of Hortann-, with the successes of the demons against the humans, raising their banners as enemies of mankind, many of the anti-human forces gathered around the demons, being the worshipers of the Abilian cults among the firsts to begin the demonic religion.

The recently christianized Empire of Dume will clash with the demon servers of the Cult of Abilia, but will never be able to completely wipe out the cults of the region of Abilia. After the Fall of the Empire, many demons made their home in Abilia, being worshiped in personal cults as living-gods, being a permanent conflict the christianization of Abilia -and even when this was supposed to be achieved, soon raised heresies of Christinism, and sooner than later banquished demons or cults that escaped to the Desert of Iperto, returned.
