The Horned Cabal were five powerful liches who dwelled in the Southron Wastes and possess a fiercesome artifact capable of creating undead, the Sphere of Sorrows.

Since 4953, the Horned Cabal has repeatedly attacked the southern region of the Turamzzyrian Empire. There have been three notable battles between Imperial forces and the Horned Cabal, two in 5020, the Battle of Tyllan and the Battle of Skyreach. The third, near the end of the Fifty-first century, was the Battle of Elstreth. Instrumental in the empire's success in defeating the Horned Cabal have been the Order of Voln. As a result, the Order of Voln has grown and spread significantly across the empire and gained strong adherence in the Duchy of Aldora. The Temple of the Paladin is among the largest temples dedicated to Voln and monastery of the Order.

Of the five liches, two have been confirmed destroyed:

  • unnamed lich, destroyed at the Battle of Elstreth in the year 5074 by Grandmaster Allasander with the greataxe Spiritcry
  • Raukturga, destroyed in the Chamber of Horns under Gattrof Mountain on the 18th day of Charlatos in the year 5112 by adventurers working with Magister Remuliad

Another lich is rumored to have been destroyed by Grandmaster Fineval in the Southron Wastes, some time prior to the invasion of Aldora. Since all five of the known liches were later present at the Battle of Elstreth, it is presumed that the Cabal originally had at least six members.
