The Cult of Rallick Nom sprang up after the confrontation with the Jaghut Tyrant during the Gedderone Fête in Darujhistan when Rallick Nom disappeared along with Vorcan Radok and the Assassins' Guild fell into disarray. The adherents believed in an essential "philosophy of assassination", based on what they believed to be Rallick's methods. The basic tenets included not making use of magic, and instead using "lots of poisons" and otataral dust if possible. After usurping the leadership of the Guild, Seba Krafar set about eradicating the new cult.
