The Forgotten Gods of Doskvol may have been forgotten by most of its citizens, but they have not forgotten the world. They move dark and enigmatic, with plans and intentions far beyond the scope of puny human minds. Is their touch a blessing or a curse? Perhaps only time will tell... when some great revelation or catastrophe shakes the heavens in their spheres once more.

==The Cult of the Eightfold Moon==
 
 
The moon is another ancient deity lost in the Cataclysm - in fact, that disaster has shattered her into eight pieces.
 
 
Phases of the Moon:
 
 
1. new Moon - serene and sinister / enigmatic and incomprehensible, the most withdrawn and cryptic phase
 
 
2. waxing crescent Moon - alluring (who doesn't love a perfect crescent?) and monstrous / cruel child, the id-driven capricious infant
 
 
3. first quarter Moon - ferocious and radiant (she's waking up to new) / yup, the belle dame sans merci, stunning young heartbreaker
 
 
4. waxing gibbous Moon - transcendent (about to shift phase) and cruel / aspirant schemer, selfish plotter
 
 
5. full Moon - radiant and ferocious
 
 
6. waning gibbous Moon - sinister and alluring (gibbous moons are kind of creepy) / jealous, spiteful and melancholy fading beauty
 
 
7. last quarter Moon - cruel and serene / dark old crone
 
 
8. waning crescent Moon - monstrous and transcendent (she's about to go quiet and she's pissed about it) / seline, disintegrating
 
 
 
==Lair==
 
 
An antiques shop exclusively selling all sorts of standing, wall-mounted, and hand-held mirrors, at the Abyss on the outer fringe of Six Towers. There's all manner of old castoffs from the abandoned manses and estate sales of the delapidated district of Duskvol's first noble families.

'''Places of Power vs Hunting Grounds'''
+
'''TBC'''
  
Places of Power don't have to be close together like Hunting Grounds, but they do have to be immediately relevant to the cult and its goals. For instance, an abandoned shrine to the goddess is of course a Place of Power; a well or a spring that could be consecrated to her also might be; a chapel of the Spirit of Deepest Blackness Eternal and Unillumined might also be if you're going to desecrate it or repurpose it for lunar worship. For such targets, you get the mechanical advantages for Hunting Grounds listed on p.95 of the Core Rules - +1d to any gather information rolls and a free additional downtime activity to contribute to the operation. You can acquire Places of Power as your Turf, as well as acquiring the more specific Cult targets listed on the Cult writeup. Naturally, the more Places of Power you claim, the more powerful and influential the cult grows.
