Bio:
Originally known as the Zog Cabal/Followers of Armageddon (the same group was known by both names) were villains of our realm, who did much damage to us over a long period.
They announced their coming by appearing (either at the funeral of an early victim of theirs, or at the West Britain Bank depending upon which source one uses), and speaking the following ominous words:
"All of your heroes, all of your institutions, all of your ORDER
will FALL to US.
WE are the ZOG CABAL.
WE are LEGION.
WE DEVOUR STRUCTURE.
AND GIVE BACK CHAOS.
MAKE YOUR PEACE WITH LIFE.
FOR IT SHALL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN."
Generally speaking, the Followers fought for chaos (at least at the time this was not the same as Blackthorn's Chaos though since then Blackthorn's Chaos has unfortunately succumbed to evil), destruction, and decay.
Some say they were associated, weakly, with other villains (such as Juo'Nar), and some say they were more or less on their own.
They were pursued by Crawworth, in revenge for killing a member of his family early in their evil "career," and by Halston Montil, for reasons that are considered more conventionally virtuous.
They acquired their second name by their acquisition of the Armageddon(or Doomsday) spell from the Wisps, and then their use of that spell. Though they failed to acquire enough Blackrock to destroy the world with that spell, they did considerable damage along the way, among other things causing geologic events which accidentally opened up the Lost Lands.
The Followers were commonly considered more or less dead until 2008, having allegedly met their end in the dungeon Shame.
Vestiges of them could still be found. Certain evil mage sects in Ilshenar were linked to them, for example as is evidenced by statues and various other items found in the Wisp Dungeon. Also, an offshoot group appeared when Blackrock returned to the realm.
However, in the Summer of 2008, the FoA came back in a major way, participating in the slaughter of the Royal Council, as a form of tribute offered to the foul Shadowlords in the Hope for the Future Chapter of the Warriors of Destiny event cycle.
Their whereabouts and level of activity are, to this author's knowledge, not known at present.
