Frenzied Flame Followers

Lore & Background

The cult operates in secrecy, often hiding within the sewers and forgotten catacombs, waiting for the moment the Frenzied Flame can be fully unleashed upon the world. They are distinct from other fanatical groups because their end goal is not a new dynasty or a restored age, but an absolute void where the concept of 'self' ceases to exist. This makes them perhaps the most dangerous faction in the Lands Between, as they offer no alternative path, only the fire that consumes everything.

Reader's Guide

The Frenzied Flame Followers are a radical cult dedicated to the eradication of all life through the chaotic power of the Frenzied Flame. They reject the concept of order and believe that the only way to end suffering is to reduce existence to a singular, undifferentiated state. Their members are often outcasts or those driven mad by the weight of the world's decay. They hide in the deepest parts of Leyndell and Farum Azula, avoiding detection by the Erdtree's guardians until they can strike at the heart of the order. In the broader conflict, they serve as a dark counterpoint to the Tarnished who seek to become Elden Lord. While others fight to shape the future, these followers fight to ensure there is no future left to shape.
