Cult of Zabab

The Cult of Zabab is a fairly new religious organization that worships a mysterious being named Zabab. They are located in the city of Undare. The Cult was founded around the time of the sahuagin invasion, when Mordamos used the Qhall to undo Natans' mind control over the cultists of Lohaesk and the sahuagin. Their leaders are the Grand Chanticleer and the Four Virtuoso's.

Voidsong
The power of Zababite priests originates from the Voidsong, a discordant melody from the Far Realms that only makes sense to members of the faith. As a result, most casters from the Cult use bardic magic.

History
During the events of the North Arc, Gregor Natans secretly founded the Cult of Lohaesk. The goddess Lohaesk was actually the sahuagin goddess, Sekolah. Using this common religion, Natans could spread his mind control from the sahuagin to the cultists. During the sahuagin invasion, Natans used the cultists to forcibly brainwash citizens into servants of Lohaesk.

When Mordamos used the Qhall to undo the mind control, he became attuned to the Qhall. This in turn caused the cultists of Lohaesk to briefly see the world through Mordamos' point of view. The Cult of Lohaesk became the Cult of Zabab, though none of the cultists recognize Mordamos as their prophet.

Due to the large amount of people brainwashed during the sahuagin invasion, the Cult of Zabab represented a good portion of the Undare population, even forming their own district. They set about spreading their religion, eventually becoming sort of a rival religion to the Sunites.

After the events of the East Arc, The Cult discovered the Voidsong. It is said that on that day, musical instrument sales tripled, and noise complaints quadrupled.

Notable Members

 * Mordamos, 4th Virtuoso

Trivia

 * After being freed from the mind control, many cultists claim to have seen a vision in which an avatar of Zabab used trickery to distract the evil goddess Lohaesk, freeing the brainwashed from her grasp. They go on to say that the avatar skinned one of Lohaesk's sharks and used the blue hide to make a jacket. As a result, many Zababite cultists wear blue dyed cloaks or jackets.
