Such cults are few and far between, but each tends to work in an insidious fashion, recruiting by kidnapping and blackmail, and blinding or removing the eyes of those they wish to offer to their dark lord. The darkness took form: a mass of twisting gray-black flesh in which a milky-white orb, an eye of enormous size, was surrounded by clusters of reaching tentacles. Encounters While cults appear mostly insular with no overreaching inter-cult operations, the tendency of Gol-goroth worship to exist in small clusters across a widespread area means that encounters with cult members are likely in certain areas of the world. Some sources believe that Lilith was once a powerful and mysterious Old One who was banished (or escaped) to Earths Dreamlands and there was reborn as a Great One (the so-called gods of the Dreamland).
