==Cult of Vavu==

''Originally a colony meant to “civilize” the native humans, the settlers embraced the local’s beliefs and seek to export their faith''

Many Imperial commoners and freed slaves were given free land south of the Elf territories to establish a hold there and surround the Elves. The land was already occupied of course, and the new settlers were told they had to subdue or eliminated the current Autochthonous Human Populations to take title of the land. Didn’t quite work out that way. The damp forests of the south had different land and climate than the dryer forests and grasslands to the north. The settler colonies didn’t fare well at first. But coming into contact with the local peoples, the Imperial settlers learn of new magics and strange beliefs that contradicted the official stories of the Empire. Those who abandoned the ways of the Empire and embraced the locals’ worldview thrived. Now they see themselves as a better alternative to the Empire and they are eager to spread their cult.

The locals were initially glad to see the invading Imperial settlers could learn the wisdom of their ways. But now the descendants of these settlers seem too eager to take over the ways of the locals and too eager to proselytize to the rest of the world. Maybe by surrendering to the ways of the locals, the Imperial settlers conquered them after all?
