History
His worship was subsumed into the cults of Rhya and Taal and whose priests hunted down those still devout in their belief in Ahalt until they were sure none survived.[1][2a]
For a thousand years, Ahalt nursed his hatred, growing more and more twisted with the need for revenge and so did his remaining, hidden cult. [1]
Holy Books
An apocryphal version of the Taalite Rites of the Ancient Grove has a whole chapter of rituals for Ahalt.[4]
Holy Days
Priests of the cult burn prisoners, especially followers of Rhya or Taal in wicker men at Mittherbst to feed their dark god. [3]
Locations
- The Dark Glade: A magically hidden glade where his worshippers meet, located near the town of Geshburg on the banks of the Upper Soll River. A patch of barren rock surrounded by gnarled willow trees and anicent black oaks that move on without the wind. [2b]
