Following last month's RIFT lore detailing the assassin Kira Thanos, today Trion Worlds has given us a new lore piece which outlines the Abyssal Cult. It's a dread cabal that follows the dragon of the plane of water, Akylios, who lies sleeping and dreaming in his prison. Akylios fhtagn! His followers are granted arcane and eldritch knowledge at the cost of their sanity, making the Abyssal Cult one of the most incomprehensible dragon cults in Telara.

The cult itself is largely disorganized and chaotic, seeking neither treasure nor power, instead pursuing their own ends. The one tie that unifies the Abyssal Cult is the desire to free Akylios from his bondage. RIFT's heroes must not let the cult succeed lest Akylios spread his "gift" across the whole of Telara. Check past the cut for the full lore write-up on these Lovecraftian cultists, and remember that you can take the fight to them with RIFT's Ascend-A-Friend and free trial programs.
