'''Title: The Zog Cabal'''

Biography : Followers of 
the Armageddon (group)
(Previously known as the 
Zog Cabal)

All member of this group 
should be considered 
extremely dangerous.
Any information on the 
group or any of their 
member will be rewarded 
by the King.

In the history of the 
Ultima series, Zog 
exchanged information with 
the Wisps and acquired 
the spell Armaggedon. Too 
curious for his own good, 
Zog casts the spell and 
all life is destroyed on 
Sosaria. Many centuries 
later, when life returns, 
Zog's fossils are 
unearthed and are 
recognized as the oldest 
fossils in the realm.

The introduction of the 
Followers of Armageddon 
to Ultima Online is not a 
good sign indeed. Already, 
this mysterious group has 
struck fear into the 
heart of Britannians with 
the brutal murder of 
trainer Hartham. They 
took responsability for 
this at Hartham's eulogy, 
where a member of the 
group appeared and spoke 
the following 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."

Since that day, the 
threat of the Followers 
of Armageddon raised at 
an alarming rate. Their 
plan is quite simple: 
Britannia is soiled, they 
will cleanse it. It appears 
they have recovered the 
knowledge of the 
Armageddon spell, and 
intend to cast it. Despite 
Sage Winslow's denial of 
their existance, the 
Followers of Armageddon 
is not a children's tale. 

They attempted one 
casting already, which 
fortunately failed. It 
resulted in the opening of 
tunnels and gateways to 
what seems to be a new 
world (Note: The 
introduction of the new 
lands available in UO: The 
2nd Age expansion). The 
evil of the FOA is so 
vast that they were 
believed to be associated, 
at one point with 
another, to all the other 
scourges of the land 
(Juo'Nar, Lathiari and 
Kyrnia, and the troll 
brothers, G'Thunk and 
G'Splat). But even after 
the defeat of all of 
those, the FOA was still 
running strong. They are 
also credited with the 
theft of the Relics of 
Mondain, and repeated 
attacks on Crawworth and 
Sage Winslow.

Members of the cult 
were identified shortly 
after the failed casting, 
as they travalled 
Britannia in an attempt 
to find blackrock, 
apparently a reagent 
necessary to the casting 
of Armageddon. The crown 
reacted swiftly by 
declaring traitors all 
members and any who 
helps them, and offering 
considerable bounties on 
their heads and rewards 
for any information. In 
the mad manhunt the 
followed, many Followers 
were killed or captured. 

Although some of them 
escaped during their 
transfer to the prison of 
Yew, they were defeated 
when they summoned the 
black wisps from 
pentagrams they had 
crafted. It was also 
around this time that the 
truth about Sage Winslow 
was discovered: The real 
Winslow had been 
murdered many months 
ago, and the one posing 
as him was in fact the 
leader of the Followers.  

After all these 
abominations were delt 
with, and with the 
virtuous lead of Halston 
Montil, the downfall of 
the Followers came 
quickly, up to the point 
of the capture of their 
Leader in Dungeon Shame. 

Today once again 
Britannians can sleep well, 
the world is not about to 
end (well, not because of 
the Followers anyways).
