Publisher's blurb:
The Phoenix Cult is a movement gaining traction among those who are seemingly cursed to work the lands of Urathun as best they can. Very little crops grow in the Known, and this has led to the Phoenix Cult, a revivalist movement, yearning for the favour of the Old Gods once more. Thriving on back-to-basics techniques to provide for themselves and their families, those who turn to the Phoenix Cult have found that their lot in life has improved. As more are able to rely on their local communities, the all-important Nobles of the Five are finding fewer and fewer sellswords and rogue Magic Practitioners are coming to the Parlas to seek their fortune. This in turn has slowed the machinations of the careful Diar political network of Pariuns and their would-be successors, for they often rely on outsiders to do their less desirable of bidding. After a few months of rapid growth, the Phoenix Cult is now officially a threat.
