Dispater's Concubines is an all-female cult devoted to the machinations of Dispater. Fulfilling clandestine roles as agents - intelligence gathering, assassins, war maidens, and proselytizers, they operate across Brucrumus.
War Maidens
The Dispater cult includes among its ranks the War Maidens, formidable half-devil champions and daughters of Dispater. These elite warriors are deployed to assist troubled factions, aiding them in battle and, most crucially, propagating the doctrines of Dispater. The inaugural War Maiden was Heriyes, the founder of the Dispater's Concubines.
As the centuries have passed, numerous such war maidens have risen and fallen. During the menace posed by the frost giant empire of Glangveif, which craved expansion and subjugation, nine war maidens operated throughout the Grashakh Region.

In 959, an exploratory expedition departing from Naram-Gunal ventured into the furthest reaches of Kangjald. Upon their return, months and years later, the members had been utterly captivated, becoming fervent proselytizers for the teachings of Dispater. With financial backing from the cult, they subsequently constructed a Church of Dispater within Naram-Gunal 's prayer district.
Kangjald, the cult's headquarters, harbors no fewer than a dozen devils. Through the summoning circles along the Ragil, these devils are brought to the mortal realm for extended durations. As advisors to the cult, they oversee a breeding program, mating with mortals. The offspring of this program are Gradorians. The females remain within the order, while the males are dispatched to the orphanages of Naram-Gunal.
