A cult operating in frontier regions, targeting young people of promise: fledgling adventurers, talented apprentices, aspiring artists, gifted students. They preach that the world's inequities stem from cosmic imbalance: some souls are born with unearned advantages while others start with nothing.

They believe their work restores balance.

Victims are captured rather than killed outright. The cult performs a ritual they claim extracts privilege from the soul before death, returning it to the cosmic cycle where it can be redistributed fairly.

Members range from fanatical true believers who speak of reincarnation cycles and accumulated advantage, to bitter failures who simply hate anyone born with more than they had. Both believe they're doing holy work.

They stay small, stay quiet, and avoid the attention of anyone powerful enough to stop them.
