The Cult is the ancient version of the Enclave. They do not care who wins the Peloponnesian War (Sparta or Athens); they profit from the chaos. They supply arms to both sides to maintain a state of perpetual fear.
The Goal: To force humanity to beg for "Order." To make them trade freedom for security.
The Tactic: They hide in plain sight. They are politicians, merchants, and generals. They wear masks.
Kassandra is a mercenary. She has no flag. She fights for her family and her own code.
She is the **Anarchist** who disrupts the Cult's careful calculations. Because she operates outside the system (The State), she is the only one who can see the strings.
The Lesson: You cannot fix the system from inside the Senate. You have to hunt the Cultists one by one.
The technology of the First Civilization (The Isu) is indistinguishable from magic. The Spear of Leonidas is not a weapon; it is an **Admin Tool.**
The Cult wants to control it. Kassandra wants to protect it. The struggle is always about who holds the keys to the server.
