The Veilborn Prophets are fanatical leaders of the Primal Cults, attempting to summon Primals at contested fonts and seeking to corrupt and destabilize Roh-ber.
Leadership
Zyra Shadowveil (tiefling), Kharzul Boneclaw (gnoll), Vorgath Ironmaw (troll) and Gorok Bloodrend (minotaur), who wield Aether shard-weapons.
Notable Prophets
The Primal Cults lack a single leader. Instead, multiple Veilborn Prophets lead decentralized cells, each claiming visions from chaotic Primals such as Thalyn’s Stormwrack. Prominent Prophets include: - Kharzul Boneclaw (gnoll female): Leads a jungle stronghold in Sylvaris, wielding an Aether-shard scythe. - Vorgath Ironmaw (troll male): Commands a desert ruin in Aurumhold, using a bone maul infused with Thalyn’s storm Aether. - Zyra Shadowveil (tiefling female): Operates a coastal cave in Tidegate, wielding a Voryn-infused dagger. - Gorok Bloodrend (minotaur male): Leads a Ravus wasteland stronghold, using an Aether-shard axe.
Personality and goals
- Personality: Fanatical, chaotic, and diverse, Prophets unite their cells through zeal but compete for dominance. They despise Triad order.
- Goals: Summon Primals through time-intensive rituals, corrupt Myrath’s fonts, disrupt trade routes, and sow chaos. Each Prophet seeks to elevate their Primal’s influence, clashing with the Aetherkin.
- Influence: Prophets lead autonomous cells, inspiring zealots but fragmenting the Cults through rivalries. Their trade raids and font corruption threaten Aetherkin missions across Roh-ber.

Personality (full note)
They despise Triad order and manipulate Ravus for chaos. Their visions include Voryn’s Shadowed Tyrant.
Faith and rituals
Devoted to corrupted versions of The Twelve, the Prophets perform rituals lasting 7 to 14 days during the Astral and Umbral Moons, using Eclipsa’s Aether. Their disorganization has limited their control to a single font.
Methods
They use blood sacrifices, Aether shards and captives to summon Primals. They raid by raft or stolen airship, clashing with the Aetherkin.
In conflict
They contest the Vilebloom Font for Vilebloom and the Stormhold Font for Stormwrack. Aetherkin disruptions and infighting prevent them from taking full control, but multiple summonings could collapse the Triad by overwhelming the fonts.

The Shadowcove Font
The one font they control is the Shadowcove Font, where they work to summon the Shadowed Tyrant.
Aesthetic
Bone totems, crystal shards and chaotic Aether. Prophets favor bone-adorned robes, chaotic Aether-shard weapons, and prismatic, savage relics (e.g., gnoll pelts, troll hides).
