Dandalus (sect leader)



Dandalus was a charismatic leader whose origins have been lost over time. From the few records that his followers have left (since the library in Dalus, the capitol city of Rimmo, was destroyed when the Axlonians invaded in 25h. ), Dandalus was from the far north of the country. He was considered rather well educated and was known as a skilled warrior.

In his early 20s, Dandalus saw the corruption and immorality in the world around himself and decided to do something about it. He gathered a small group of followers and moved into the worst city he could find. There he put his ideas into practice.

Contrary to what many contemporaries thought, Dandalus' experiment was widely successful. People looking for something different were attracted to his ideals of responsibilty and noble living. Of course, they also enjoyed the short-term fame that came from being a follower of the radical Dandalus.

Unfortunately, Dandalus' group was plagued by the very corruption that he had sought to fix. His modern followers even claim that one of his original followers, a disillusioned man named Rentror, murdered him after being lovingly reprimanded. Rentror went on to form a splinter group, the Rentrorites, who oppose the ideals of the Dandalites to this day.

Dandalus' modern followers go by the title of Dandalite, and they believe that Dandalus was actually the incarnation of the force that created the world (a theory called Dandalism).
