Description

"Not all adventurers seek fortune, not all that defend the world have good deeds in mind. Lately the number of sightings of horrors have grown tremendously. People wander off the beaten paths only to be found years later, horribly mutated and partly insane, if they are found at all. It is becoming evident something is stirring deep below Maj'Eyal. That something is you." Forbidden Cults is a big expansion for Tales of Maj'Eyal to let you explore the horrors that lurk beneath the surface, to delve in long lost knowledge and lore and as usual to die a lot!

History

After Embers of Rage was released the idea was to start working on the next expansion. But history has a funny way of unfolding and due to various external factors progress was slow. Then some day a bug gave all connected players a horror buddy to play with and thought it was fun and thus the idea for Forbidden Cults was born!

Features
