Cult of Sardar the Conqueror

Cult of Sardar the Conqueror The Cult of Sardar the Conqueror is a splinter sect from the cult of Sardar that has embraced a distorted interpretation of the war god's teachings. While the main cult of Sardar honors the Honorable Warrior's aspect and justice in battle, the Cult of Sardar the Conqueror exalts conquest and oppression as means to gain power and supremacy. Followers of this sect believe that military force is the only way to ensure dominance and that the conquest of new lands and peoples should be their primary goal. They view the subjugation of other peoples as an act of supremacy and worship Sardar as the Divine Conqueror, a god who guides them in their mission of territorial expansion. Within the Cult of Sardar the Conqueror, priests are trained in military strategy, tactics of warfare, and the use of magic to enhance their strength in battle. The ceremonies and rituals of this sect are characterized by martial rhetoric and a glorification of conquest. Offerings and sacrifices are made in honor of Sardar to gain his favor and blessing in warfare. However, this sect is viewed with suspicion by the main Sardar cult and religious authorities, as their actions can lead to war, oppression and suffering of the subject peoples. The Cult of Sardar the Conqueror is considered heretical and many seek to suppress his activities, trying to preserve the image of the god of war as a protector of the weak and balance in battle.
