Description
Orcus’ Horns, or the Horns of Orcus, is a cult of demon worshippers that seek to unleash the Prince of the Undead on Faerun. They employ vile methods to further their goal, and believe that achieving them will reserve them a place in Orcus’ kingdom, once he has conquered the world.
Alliance
It is said that Orcus has struck a bargain with a powerful entity, and is currently biding his time for when he can finally unleash his might on all of Faerun. While terrifying, the kind of creature powerful enough to negotiate with a demon lord may be an even more concerning problem.
DM Note
- Orcus has made a deal with Myrtis, promising her boundless power in exchange for a portal from Thanatos to Faerun. In order to hasten these plans, he has ordered his minions to serve her, for the time being.
- Having no true interest in summoning Orcus, and no need for further “disloyal” minions, Myrtis has ordered his cult to desecrate various places over the Sword Coast so that she may open various smaller portals to appease Orcus for the time being.
