History

The cult started when one man uncovered a corrupted crystal in an old andelic ruin. This man was just a treasure hunter who thought he got lucky. Though when he began to hear the fallen one's voice he began to take a new path in life. Giving up on his greed focused life he began to take actions to better others as a means to teach them about the fallen one.
In time he would gain many followers who he gifted with a part of the corrupted crystal's power. In time they would find more and begin to grow in size as some became a priest. It wasn't till halfway in the second decedent war that the empire and alliance realized the danger of the religion.
It was when they rose the dead of those who died in battle that the governments began to take actions against them. These actions were out of fear of what they could bring to the world with their use of forbidden magic by nonmagical humans. It was these actions that turned a religion seeking a better path into a cult set to topple the state of things.
