The Mayombe

The cult of the Mayombe stretches back as far as the history of Voodoo itself. For as long as people have worshipped the loa, the spirits of Voodoo, there have been those drawn only to the corrupt side. Whether motivated by hatred, vengeance, or simple power-lust, they have fallen under the influence of evil spirits and become their agents in the material world.
The Mayombe’s stronghold has always been in the area around Embouchere. There, the cult thrived in the shadows of the bayous late at night, when other folk were asleep. Mayombe cultists were responsible for many crimes, and they did a great deal to give Voodoo its dark and sinister reputation among non-believers. At least a part of the Mayombe’s power came from an intermingling between humans and debased Serpent People out in the bayous. Their families often initiated members of the cult from childhood, and some bloodlines were particularly influential within the Mayombe’s ranks.
